Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Titans to a C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Marvin Jones Jr. in the 239th pick, a good 98 spots before the room expected him. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Campbell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 7th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Nice patience on Michael Taaffe, who had no business lasting to slot 86. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 91 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at the 101st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at slot 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Stephens. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick168 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They went early on Keagen Trost in No. 168, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 6, Pick 15 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
They barely believed it either: Eric McAlister still on the board at the 211th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A straight-up fair deal on TJ Hall at pick No. 220, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick239 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Marvin Jones Jr. in Round 7, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
