If confidence were a draft strategy, the Texans would have aced it. Caleb Tiernan at the 54th pick is 32 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Love. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
