Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Taaffe fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Michael Taaffe sat on the board until No. 101, and the Titans did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Chris Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They did well to land Germie Bernard in No. 66, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in the 101st overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
They let Eli Raridon come to them and pounced at pick No. 142. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
By-the-book stuff, Gracen Halton at Round 5, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson at the 184th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 David Gusta
No edge and no loss on David Gusta in slot 194; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington in the 225th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
