Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Moore at the 142nd pick, a reach of 150 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 102nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in slot 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in the 142nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
The board fumbled Jackson Slater all the way to No. 168, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They went early on Roc Taylor in the 180th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
