Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Titans took Richard Jibunor at pick No. 221, roughly 51 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 7th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach for Payton Wilson in slot 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 146th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A real head-scratcher, Richard Jibunor in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Coker well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A conviction pick on Solomon Byrd at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
