Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesC- FutureA
The Titans kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Titans did exactly that with Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick 241.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Felton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 1 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at Round 4, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
A tidy bit of business in No. 124, where Kalel Mullings graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Batty in the 142nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at the 168th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 15 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at pick No. 220, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 241st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
