You can draft well and still miss the point. The Texans did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Zabel lower, and that gap is the story. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
