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
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.
Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 63 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hezekiah Masses at pick No. 142 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
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.
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.
A tidy bit of business in the 194th pick, where Dae'Quan Wright graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Eric McAlister slipping to No. 214 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
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.
