Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Carter should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Titans one, and it paid up: Barrett Carter, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the 142nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Dart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 35th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They let Jaylin Noel come to them and pounced at slot 119. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 168th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
