The board owed the Titans one, and it paid up: Keionte Scott, the No. 60 name on the board, sitting there at the 101st pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.4
· Pick 4
· Jeremiyah Love
· RB
· rank 2
In pick 4 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3
· Pick 35
· Chris Brazzell II
· WR
· rank 29
Good price on Chris Brazzell II in slot 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.2
· Pick 66
· Lee Hunter
· DT
· rank 48
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at No. 66 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.1
· Pick 101
· Keionte Scott
· CB
· rank 60
Keionte Scott in pick No. 101 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.2
· Pick 142
· Oscar Delp
· TE
· rank 132
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.4
· Pick 144
· Malik Benson
· WR
· rank 145
They took Malik Benson at par in the 144th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.3
· Pick 184
· Aamil Wagner
· OT
· rank 174
Value with a capital V on Aamil Wagner in Round 6, Pick 3, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.13
· Pick 194
· Matt Gulbin
· C
· rank 179
Matt Gulbin in the 194th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.9
· Pick 225
· Jimmy Rolder
· LB
· rank 221
Fair-plus on Jimmy Rolder, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
