Draft Grade — Titans
Overall
A
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
Neal should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a A. When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to pick 176, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The Titans indulged a want in Watts while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open. Reaching for Walker left real value on the table behind him.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Malaki Starks and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 34th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 35 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They reached into another round for Deone Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Xavier Watts at safety with edge rusher and quarterback open.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Jack Bech slipping to the 80th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach No. 97 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 37, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
They robbed the room for Carson Schwesinger here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 140th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in pick No. 167, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in pick 176, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
