Draft Grade — Texans
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Texans kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Texans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
The Zabel reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
They liked Grey Zabel enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 1, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
