Draft Grade — Titans

FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Titans this weekend: B+. The Titans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 173 on Jimmy Horn Jr. a full 135 spots early.
Sampson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
The Titans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ashton Gillotte this early at pick 34. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They jumped the gun on Jackson Slater, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 140th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Cooper well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick No. 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161
Rnd5
Dylan Sampson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Sampson in the 161st overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to Round 5, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jimmy Horn Jr.
A big swing on Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 173rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in slot 191 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at No. 227 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick 241, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
A real head-scratcher, Gentry Williams in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
