Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureA
Few false notes in the Titans' weekend. Grade: A-.

The Zion Logue selection is the head-turner. The Titans reached 43 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Mitchell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Darius Slayton gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 38th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin is a better player than pick 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Nice patience on Quinyon Mitchell, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 107 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in slot 141. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 185th pick, where Frank Gore Jr. graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 225th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
