Tennessee Titans

The Titans lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The Titans put a flag in the ground for Trey Moore, 34 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Jeremiyah Love and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
In No. 12 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 44
Zion Young in the 35th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Stowers at slot 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 74
No edge and no loss on Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Malik Muhammad · CB · rank 95
Malik Muhammad at pick 101 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Logan Jones · C · rank 88
They will replay Logan Jones at pick 112 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Gracen Halton · DL · rank 142
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gracen Halton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 178
Trey Moore in the 144th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · VJ Payne · S · rank 191
The board had cheaper options than VJ Payne at slot 180, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.3 · Pick 184 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 181
Nothing to complain about; Keagen Trost went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.13 · Pick 194 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 186
Ephesians Prysock at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · Barion Brown · WR · rank 252
Barion Brown at the 225th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
