Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Titans a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Moore, 76 picks early at Round 4, Pick 26. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

On value alone, Lance makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. It is not that Muhammad is a bad player; it is that the Titans had louder needs to answer first.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Jermod McCoy leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 16 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Makai Lemon
They barely believed it either: Makai Lemon still on the board at pick No. 40. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
No drama and no debate, Trevor Goosby went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Malik Muhammad in slot 75 leaves interior defensive lineman and tight end for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cayden Green
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cayden Green. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ian Strong
They will replay Ian Strong at pick 103 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Will Lee III at cornerback with interior defensive lineman and tight end open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 112th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Whit Weeks in pick No. 116, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 22. Interior defensive lineman and tight end needed the pick; a cornerback in Chandler Rivers did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 124th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at No. 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bryce Lance
Somehow Bryce Lance was still sitting there in slot 153, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
A tidy little value on Isaac Smith in slot 170, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
No edge and no loss on Conner Weigman in the 218th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Thompson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A clean, defensible pick in pick 237 with a little surplus value in Trey Zuhn III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at the 251st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
