Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 219 lands the Titans a B-, Jacobs and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Curtis Jacobs, pick No. 219, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Suamataia pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Nothing to complain about; Malik Nabers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kingsley Suamataia well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A conviction pick on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 4, Pick 7 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They liked Grayson Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 145. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at the 184th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
