Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureA
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The war room fell hard for DeMonte Capehart, and it showed at No. 228: 47 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Morgan.

Matthew Bergeron gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in No. 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They read the board right and Jordan Morgan was the payoff at the 38th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in slot 106: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
By-the-book stuff, Kris Abrams-Draine at the 122nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A premium they did not need to pay, Austin Booker a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They liked Rasheen Ali enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 184. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They talked themselves into Kingsley Eguakun at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in pick 228, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
