ROCKETS ROUNDTABLE PRESENTED BY TEXAS STAR GRILL SHOP

How James Harden's off-court actions are part of a bigger plan

James Harden has been in the news recently for a lot of positive reasons.

Harden was captured on video giving $10,000 to a family in the Bahamas, and his impact in Houston has been fantastic too with him donating $240,000 to the city of Houston to upgrade outdoor basketball courts.

ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali discuss Harden's philanthropic gestures, and debate if having an ulterior motive for these actions even matters. Rockets Roundtable is presented by Texas Star Grill Shop.

The Houston Texans traded WR Brandin Cooks this offseason, so they were looking to add some talent at the position.

The Texans made a deal with the Rams and traded up to number 69 overall and drafted University of Houston receiver, Tank Dell.

Houston received the 69th overall pick and No. 191 from the Rams in exchange for the 73rd selection and No. 161.

Here's an overview of Dell from draft expert Lance Zierlein, via NFL.com.

Every second of the route is a separation opportunity for Dell, a touchdown-making machine who pairs electrifying top-end speed with twitchy short-area quickness. His routes are fast and effective on all three levels with keen ball-tracking talent deep and sideline-dotting footwork. Focus drops and contested catches are ongoing issues that are likely to continue at the next level. Dell is dangerous with the ball in his hands after the catch and as a game-changing punt returner. His slender frame is a concern, but the explosive talent could be difficult to pass up for teams needing a big-play weapon to stretch the field and mismatch coverages.
