Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB
Larceny in pick 109 lands the Titans a C+, Klare and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Max Klare slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Tucker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They took Akheem Mesidor at par in No. 35, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Taking Keith Abney II in slot 66 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the 101st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare in pick 109 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Devin Moore
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the 116th pick on Devin Moore, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in pick No. 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in No. 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Fair-plus on Kage Casey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They barely believed it either: Demond Claiborne still on the board at slot 169. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Louis Moore
You do not let a safety like Louis Moore reach the 176th pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Zane Durant
They let Zane Durant come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in pick 194 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in pick No. 225 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
