Grade The Texans Draft

[NickO]

B-. The Texans did the best they could with the hand they were dealt.

A couple points on Brown:
1) I'd rather them take the guy they wanted earlier than he was projected than try and get too cutesy with trade downs and miss out. Maybe they could've traded down again with Seattle and still got him, maybe not.
2) He may be a project, but he didn't go to North Southeastern Lousiana State Technical College or something. He played OT for three years at one of the top colleges and conferences in the country...that counts for something.

Molden - Love the recovery speed. All rookie CBs have trouble adjusting. The recovery speed Molden has (and Cason lacks) will soften those intial blows.

Slaton - Not my favorite pick, but gravy after the trade down.

Adibi - Great value, hopefully spells the beginning of the end for Greenwood. Looks good on a blitz too.

Okam - Good value again. Could be a monster but I'm not expecting any miracles.

Barber - The "drafting SSs late" thing is getting old.

Brink - Who cares? It's funny how people are killing this 7TH ROUND pick.
