From the article

New Houston Texans starter David Montgomery isn't necessarily safe or gleaming with upside, but he also doesn't cost you a high draft pick as he is going in Round 8. In the AFC for the first time, Montgomery begins the third chapter of an underrated career at age 29, and reasonable minds can debate what level of volume he will receive.

Montgomery's Round 8 cost offers bargain RB2 upside; underrated career trajectory.

New Houston Texans starter going in Round 8; the source describes him as a bargain player who isn't necessarily safe or gleaming with upside, but doesn't cost a high draft pick; at age 29 and entering the AFC for the first time, he begins the third chapter of an underrated career; hasn't been a true featured back for years but is capable of a return to reliable RB2 range with rushing yards and touchdowns expected.
