Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a B-, for the Titans.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent pick 241 on Jimmy Horn Jr., a name most had 111 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josaiah Stewart this early at pick No. 35. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in pick 110, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 18, where Smael Mondon Jr. graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A slide stopped in the 142nd overall pick, with Emery Jones Jr. worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Jack Nelson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 5, Pick 29 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
A big swing on Ethan Downs at the 180th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick No. 241 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
