Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devontez Walker got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Nothing to complain about; Joe Alt went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 38th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Good price on Cole Bishop in slot 143, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Devontez Walker
They will replay Devontez Walker at pick No. 184 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They did well to land Omar Speights in Round 7, Pick 7, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
