The Titans spent real capital to be 53 picks early on Jaishawn Barham, and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Hunter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Jaishawn Barham at No. 63 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 66 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Somehow Lee Hunter was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 8, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They barely believed it either: Kamari Ramsey still on the board at the 101st pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A straight-up fair deal on Kaytron Allen at No. 142, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Dametrious Crownover in Round 5, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaeden Roberts. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The board had Aaron Anderson higher than the Round 6 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Bryce Foster in pick 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Le'Veon Moss in the 225th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Value said wait; Diego Pavia in slot 233 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
A reach on Isaiah Jatta in pick No. 256; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jack Kelly in the 257th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
