The draft is over, bring on the OTAs.

This draft will be evaluated on how Kareem Jackson stacks up with Devin McCourty and Kyle Wilson. Also, how the secondary looks without Dunta Robinson will be an ongoing question this season.

The Texans made a smooth move dropping down and getting Ben Tate in the second round. It must have seemed like adventure on the high seas as they traded out of the second and back in to grab the Auburn RB. The Tate-Toby Gerhart debate may go on for a while. Gerhart was prevalent in fans minds because of his Heisman showing but Tate is probably the better choice for the system. And the opportunity to get another pick was too good to pass up.

So they addressed their biggest needs in the first two rounds and picked up Earl Mitchell to play DT in the third.

This draft was not like some of the others in Texans history when they needed starters everywhere and were nearly desperate to get one in every round. This is a good team trying to get better.

Their biggest concerns after last season were replacing Dunta, getting the running game going again and field goal performance.

they brought in Neil Rackers to compete with Kris Brown and took care of the other needs in the draft. They also picked up a tight end in Garrett Graham to help shore up the position with so many banged up bodies trying to make a comeback.

The work is done for now. We'll see how it plays out.
