The Titans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lee Hunter, the No. 48 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 1.

Tucker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Avieon Terrell · CB · rank 17
They robbed the room for Avieon Terrell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at No. 66. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Caleb Tiernan · OT · rank 54
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caleb Tiernan in the 92nd pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 48
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at pick No. 101 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
Ted Hurst in the 142nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 132
Oscar Delp slid further than he should have, and pick 144 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 174
Nadame Tucker at slot 152 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
Taking DeMonte Capehart in pick 177 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · Marlin Klein · TE · rank 158
Somehow Marlin Klein was still sitting there in the 180th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.3 · Pick 184 · Cyrus Allen · WR · rank 168
Cyrus Allen at pick No. 184 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
R6.13 · Pick 194 · Seth McGowan · RB · rank 185
A tidy bit of business in slot 194, where Seth McGowan graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 220
A tidy little value on Thaddeus Dixon in No. 225, a step better than break-even. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
