Draft Grade — Texans

The Texans let Zabel fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Grey Zabel slide, and the Texans were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in slot 58 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
