For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Titans walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Landing Trigg that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Igbinosun pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.4
· Pick 4
· David Bailey
· LB-EDGE
· rank 5
In pick 4 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3
· Pick 35
· KC Concepcion
· WR
· rank 27
Value with a capital V on KC Concepcion in slot 35, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.2
· Pick 66
· Mike Washington Jr.
· RB
· rank 75
A conviction pick on Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 66 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.1
· Pick 101
· Davison Igbinosun
· CB
· rank 113
Davison Igbinosun at the 101st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.33
· Pick 133
· Michael Trigg
· TE
· rank 115
Michael Trigg in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.4
· Pick 144
· Mikail Kamara
· DE-EDGE
· rank 152
The board had cheaper options than Mikail Kamara at Round 5, Pick 4, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.3
· Pick 184
· Jeff Caldwell
· WR
· rank 186
Jeff Caldwell at Round 6, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R7.9
· Pick 225
· Jalen Huskey
· S
· rank 235
Jalen Huskey in the 225th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
