Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Titans took Austin Booker a full 39 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Oladapo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick120 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 120th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
The board had Cedric Gray higher than the 144th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Circle this one: Kitan Oladapo at No. 184 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in pick No. 228, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
