Draft Grade — Titans
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a D- weekend for the Titans.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hayden Conner; the Titans did not wait, grabbing him 62 spots ahead at the 208th pick. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 66th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No drama and no debate, Elijah Arroyo went about where he belonged in pick No. 72. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A slide stopped in slot 83, with Omarr Norman-Lott worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nice patience on Cam Skattebo, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 1. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo is a better player than pick 120 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They let Kyle Williams come to them and pounced at the 141st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
No edge and no loss on Quincy Riley in No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A big swing on Jalen McLeod at slot 178, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 188 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Nothing to complain about; Jack Kiser went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They went early on Carson Vinson in the 217th pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
