For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Texans walked out of the weekend still thin at wide receiver, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

McDonald at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
