Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B

Grand theft in pick No. 179: the Titans steal Simpson and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Jaylin Simpson sat on the board until No. 179, and the Titans did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Raym has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Jared Verse in No. 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in pick 42. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in pick No. 106, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 166th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jaylin Simpson in slot 179, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 184th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They did well to land Zakhari Franklin in the 228th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
