Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a C+ for the Titans.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Walter Nolen slide 158 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at slot 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in slot 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in the 120th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at the 141st overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at No. 167 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 12, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
