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

The Titans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 5 slot on Austin Booker a full 23 spots early.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 7 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bralen Trice. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 107th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Austin Booker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Austin Booker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
They jumped the gun on Brian Ugwu, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
