    He was always safe. It was Griffin that might have been replaced.

    Regardless of how these players actually turn out, I'd give the Texans an A overall. They drafted for most of their needs getting players that have a lot of upside and will surely help Brock. Wish we had another pick or two to fill a couple of the needs we didn't draft for but that's just being nit-picky. I'm sure there's gonna be some decent options for undrafted FA's.

    So a guy who'll have no problem being motivated? Sounds like a steal this far down in the draft.

    That was pretty cool for Boehringer. I hope it works out well for him.

    The ridiculous trade over the Jets for Martin cost the Texans the chance to draft a TE.

    What TE did you want them to get in the 6th round?

    You know they can still get UDFAs right?

    Texans addressed most of their holes. We won't truly know until later, but good draft.

    I would hope they invite Brandon Allen in as an UDFA. Allen is better than Savage.
