NegativeRoleJun 26, 2026
Analyst expects David Montgomery to be early-down guy with Woody Marks handling pass-game work. Offensive coordinator Nick Haley chose committee backfield last year and grew up watching Patriots who always chopped backfield into twos or threes. Baseline case is Montgomery gets early downs, Marks gets passing situations. Texans offensive line concerns (31st in EPA per carry, 22nd in rush yards per game since 2023) limit upside. Analyst prefers to draft someone with first pick of fifth round who has chance to return value as second or third round pick—doesn't see that ceiling with Montgomery.

Analyst projects David Montgomery as flex-to-low-end RB2 at best, not a true difference-maker. Early-down role with Woody Marks handling passing situations. Texans offensive line has been 31st in EPA per carry and 22nd in rush yards per game since 2023—very poor. Analyst notes both pro and con cases hinge on volume, which is concerning when both sides make same argument. Compares to running back dead-zone archetypes (Chuba Hubbard, Isaiah Pacheco, James Connor, Rashad White, Mike Davis) that have failed more often than succeeded. If it hits: 14+ touches/week for 17 games with improved red zone efficiency. If it fails: typical dead-zone outcome. Rookie center Keelan Rutledge changing positions adds concern.

Drafted as RB20 but finished 2024 as RB31 in points per game; ranked RB25 (64th overall) by analyst, behind his ADP of 50. Analyst does not think he profiles much different than Tony Pollard, Chuba Hubbard, Ramondre Stevenson, Jalen Warren—guys drafted much later. Contract is only 2 years/$16M with $10M guaranteed (nowhere near Joe Mixon's deal). Analyst skeptical of his current ability at age 29 with nine straight seasons of 180+ touches since Iowa State—significant wear and tear. Texans RB history is concerning: 2023 was Devin Singletary (RB35) vs Damian Pierce, 2024 was Woody Marks (RB35), only 2023 Joe Mixon season was awesome (RB9/RB5 usage).
