Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedC+ TradesC FutureA
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot. The Titans jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Kilgore steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at pick No. 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
No drama and no debate, Anthony Hill Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 36. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
A slide stopped in the 65th overall pick, with Nyck Harbor worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Value with a capital V on Julian Neal in Round 4, Pick 1, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 1, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Circle this one: Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 144 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179 Rnd6 Zane Durant
By-the-book stuff, Zane Durant at pick 179 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A reach on Barion Brown in No. 236; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
