Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Titans and Paul Jr.: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Chris Paul Jr. had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Titans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The Howard pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Tyler Smith deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Green. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the 35th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tate Ratledge this early at No. 44. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Will Howard
They reached into another round for Will Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick 101 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at the 118th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They jumped the gun on Nick Nash, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 176 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach the 239th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
