Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Titans torched the value chart for Javon Foster, taking him 35 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Javon Foster
In the 19th pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 D.J. James
They went early on D.J. James in No. 67, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 73rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Cam Hart adds a cornerback while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick No. 99 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Payton Wilson in the 109th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick 146 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach slot 187 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
They talked themselves into Eugene Asante at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at No. 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid up for Frank Gore Jr. at the 244th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
