Grade The Texans Draft

[NBT]

I gave our Draft a B+.
I wasn't around this board during the Draft, but the thing is we have been blamed for not taking that elusive OLT almost from the beginning of this franchise. This year the coaches made up their minds that this was the year for the OLT to happen. We pretty much figured that all the high profile OLTs would be taken off the board by the 18th pick, so Rick Smith did a gutsy thing in trading down to #26. We had to sweat it out hoping someone woudn't tradeup and take Duane Brown from under us. So we got someone that was supposedly a coach Gibbs favorite.

#2 of course was QB Schaub. We musn't lose sight of that.
#3a CB Molden was coach Hoke's pick.
#3b. Was a bonus RB in Steve Slaton.
#4 LB Adibi. If he can overcome the injury bug and muscle up, his speed will be a big asset.
#5 DT Okam is the question mark of the Draft. If he wants it, we could have a gem.
#6a Was traded to Denver for OC Chris Meyers. Good.
#6b Another bonus. A safety for coach Rhoades in the person of Dominique Barber.
#7 A QB project for coach Kubiak
