Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Titans spent real capital to be 61 picks early on Roderick Kearney, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Muhammad pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and linebacker still on the board. The Muhammad pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 7 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ian Strong
Ian Strong at pick No. 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A big swing on D'Angelo Ponds at pick 65, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in No. 103 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
A curious use of the 104th overall pick. Quarterback and linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Malik Muhammad did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 5, Pick 2 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They liked Max Iheanachor enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney in the 181st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick No. 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
