Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Titans took Barryn Sorrell a full 87 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

On value alone, Phillips makes the weekend a net positive. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Deonte Banks chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 58 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in the 81st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A conviction pick on Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
They did well to land Ajani Cornelius in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A real head-scratcher, Sai'vion Jones in pick 119 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board fumbled Will Howard all the way to the 131st overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
They reached into another round for Xavier Scott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Value said wait; Dorian Strong in the 146th pick says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 154, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach pick 167 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at pick No. 180, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 195th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 206th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Trey Zuhn III graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at slot 241 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
