Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Treydan Stukes got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at slot 119.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Titans indulged a want in Stukes while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Taking Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
They will replay Olaivavega Ioane at the 51st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 3, Pick 2 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 83 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, A.J. Haulcy in the 92nd pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Malachi Fields in pick No. 101 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Treydan Stukes, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joe Royer at the 142nd overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No drama and no debate, Chris McClellan went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 4. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Isaiah World at the 184th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Circle this one: Caleb Douglas at slot 194 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Keagen Trost reach pick 225 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
