Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Titans a B+.

The Titans ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Every board in the league had Oladapo lower, and that gap is the story. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Tremaine Edmunds pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 14 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 45th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in slot 75. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Oladapo. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 9 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
No edge and no loss on Rasheen Ali in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid a round early for Joshua Cephus in the 228th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
