The Titans did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Zachariah Branch fell into the 87th pick.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Josh Simmons gives the group a proven body among the projects.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
They read the board right and Colton Hood was the payoff at the 35th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Fair-plus on DeMonte Capehart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Cyrus Allen at No. 184 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Keagen Trost slid further than he should have, and slot 194 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
