Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Lomu fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Titans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caleb Lomu fell into the 66th overall pick.

The cost of the Igbinosun reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 4 they get the heartbeat of the defense, a steep price for the projection.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zion Young
A reach on Zion Young in No. 35; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Caleb Lomu
Somehow Caleb Lomu was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A wild overpay on Davison Igbinosun in the 101st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
They jumped the gun on Eric Rivers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas is a better player than pick No. 144 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in slot 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
