Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Titans finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Titans took Barryn Sorrell at pick 166, roughly 125 spots before his name belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Nwankpa falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 1st pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 101, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They robbed the room for Tez Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in pick 124, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kobe King
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kobe King. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in No. 166, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
You do not let a safety like Xavier Nwankpa reach slot 239 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
