The Titans bet big and early on Caden Curry, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

Landing Haulcy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Jeremiyah Love that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
No edge and no loss on Jeremiyah Love in the 4th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 63 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 58
They read the board right and Germie Bernard was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 2. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 131
Caden Curry in pick 78 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
Taking A.J. Haulcy in the 92nd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Circle this one: Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 95 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Logan Jones · C · rank 91
Nice patience on Logan Jones, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 125
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at pick 107. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Hezekiah Masses · CB · rank 137
Hezekiah Masses at pick No. 142 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 159
Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.3 · Pick 184 · Matt Gulbin · C · rank 183
Matt Gulbin in the 184th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.13 · Pick 194 · Dae'Quan Wright · TE · rank 181
A tidy bit of business in the 194th pick, where Dae'Quan Wright graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
R6.33 · Pick 214 · Eric McAlister · WR · rank 197
Eric McAlister slipping to No. 214 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 222
A tidy little value on TJ Hall in slot 225, a step better than break-even. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
