Draft Grade — Titans
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Titans to a D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Titans did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If Booker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They did well to land Quinyon Mitchell in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 80th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at the 122nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They liked Austin Booker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 142. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 8 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
