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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Carson Steele, 84 picks early at No. 219. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That Franklin pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 11 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board had Troy Franklin higher than the 38th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the 42nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reach on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 107; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 166 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo is a better player than the 184th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Carson Steele
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Steele well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
