Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Ajani Cornelius at No. 65, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

Getting Simon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Abdul Carter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They paid sticker price for Abdul Carter in the 3rd pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick35 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 35th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 3, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 102 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Howard
They let Will Howard come to them and pounced at pick 119. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They read the board right and Emery Jones Jr. was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Nice patience on Cam Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 241st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
