Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Titans, and a B to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Titans took Jimmy Horn Jr. a full 69 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Getting Majors where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 1 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at the 35th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
They let Aeneas Peebles come to them and pounced at pick No. 101. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Good price on Luke Kandra in the 118th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 140 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They jumped the gun on Quincy Riley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They reached into another round for Roc Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
