Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Sampson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Dylan Sampson sat on the board until slot 116, and the Titans did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Taylor proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at Round 1, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luther Burden III in the 37th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick 104 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
The board fumbled Willie Lampkin all the way to pick No. 180, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
A wild overpay on Mason Taylor in the 240th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
