Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Hawes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Savaiinaea value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
