There is conviction, and then there is this. The Texans took Grant Gunnell a full 253 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A F, plain and simple.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left running back open, and the grade is the bill.
