Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Titans: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Titans took Bryce Boettcher at the 141st overall pick, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Abney II to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in slot 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Zion Young
A real head-scratcher, Zion Young in No. 65 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II slid further than he should have, and the 101st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A wild overpay on Bryce Boettcher in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick No. 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
The board had cheaper options than Oscar Delp at pick No. 179, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They paid a round early for Barion Brown in pick 236, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
