The Titans bet big and early on Nadame Tucker, 35 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Everette pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.4
· Pick 4
· Jeremiyah Love
· RB
· rank 2
In pick No. 4 they get an every-down engine for the run game. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3
· Pick 35
· Chris Brazzell II
· WR
· rank 29
Chris Brazzell II in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.2
· Pick 66
· Josiah Trotter
· LB
· rank 60
Josiah Trotter in slot 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.1
· Pick 101
· Daylen Everette
· CB
· rank 83
Daylen Everette at Round 4, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.2
· Pick 142
· Nadame Tucker
· DE-EDGE
· rank 177
Nadame Tucker at pick 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.4
· Pick 144
· Malik Benson
· WR
· rank 147
Malik Benson in No. 144 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R6.3
· Pick 184
· Ar'maj Reed-Adams
· OG
· rank 175
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at Round 6, Pick 3. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.13
· Pick 194
· Zane Durant
· DT
· rank 185
Zane Durant at the 194th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.9
· Pick 225
· Dallen Bentley
· TE
· rank 207
Dallen Bentley at No. 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
