From the video

David Montgomery is just like not Joe Mixon... this Texans backfield is one of the most underdised storylines out there especially when you're talking about Dave Montgomery being a early and I mean the second pick of the fifth round

Avoid Montgomery in the fifth round due to efficiency and volume risks

David Montgomery is a 'dead zone' profile to avoid in the fifth round. He is coming off his worst season in missed tackles per touch rate, and the Texans' offensive line is in flux with injuries and unproven starters. Additionally, long-term wear and tear concerns as a bellcow back and the emergence of Woody Marks threaten his volume, potentially shifting the backfield to a 60/40 or 55/45 split.
