When a board-topper like A.J. Haulcy slides to pick 101, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jordyn Tyson and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In pick 18 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Jordyn Tyson · WR · rank 9
In the 26th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 30
Denzel Boston at Round 2, Pick 17 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Keith Abney II · CB · rank 43
Keith Abney II at pick No. 66 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A.J. Haulcy at slot 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 89
You do not let an offensive lineman like Sam Hecht reach the 126th overall pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 124
The board fumbled Will Lee III all the way to No. 142, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Joe Royer · TE · rank 126
Joe Royer in the 144th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 177
They took Zane Durant at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.3 · Pick 184 · Ar'maj Reed-Adams · OG · rank 169
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 184, where Ar'maj Reed-Adams graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.13 · Pick 194 · Seth McGowan · RB · rank 183
A quiet steal in the 194th pick: Seth McGowan for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.15 · Pick 196 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 185
Nice patience on Taylen Green, who had no business lasting to pick 196. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 215
Value with a capital V on Thaddeus Dixon in No. 225, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
