Tennessee Titans

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Titans to a C.

Future B-

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Isaiah Jatta, 50 picks early at No. 194. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
In the 12th pick they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In slot 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 42
No drama and no debate, Zion Young went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Jacob Rodriguez in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 90
The board had Bryce Lance higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 86
Zakee Wheatley at slot 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Tacario Davis · CB · rank 107
Tacario Davis in No. 112 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 158
They went early on Beau Stephens in the 142nd pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Skyler Gill-Howard · DT · rank 150
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at Round 5, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Hezekiah Masses · CB · rank 136
A cornerback of that caliber at the 154th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.3 · Pick 184 · Pat Coogan · C · rank 198
Pat Coogan at pick 184 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.13 · Pick 194 · Isaiah Jatta · OT · rank 244
A wild overpay on Isaiah Jatta in pick No. 194, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 239
Eli Heidenreich at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
