Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Monangai: B.

Somebody in No. 241 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Texans sat still while Kyle Monangai, the No. 198 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Fairchild reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at No. 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Kaleb Johnson graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 89th overall pick with a little surplus value in Chris Paul Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 166. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at slot 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
