Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Dart is the Titans' new face under center. Grade: C.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Titans reached some 121 spots for O'Donnell Fortune, and value like that does not grow back.

Whatever Jaxson Dart becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick35 Rnd2 O'Donnell Fortune
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for O'Donnell Fortune. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in No. 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 120th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A straight-up fair deal on Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 141, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
The board had cheaper options than Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in the 178th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Torricelli Simpkins III this early at pick 188. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
