Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Evan Anderson selection is the head-turner. The Titans reached 55 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 38th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the 49th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 10, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 182 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in No. 221, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at the 242nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
