Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Titans steal McKinstry and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kool-Aid McKinstry, the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at the 38th pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The McGregor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 38th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 106 with a little surplus value in Jacob Cowing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They paid a round early for Sincere Haynesworth in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in the 184th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 228 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
