Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Simpson should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Titans were there to profit. Jaylin Simpson, the No. 136 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 7. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Anderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 7 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Circle this one: Taliese Fuaga at No. 38 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Nothing to complain about; Jalen McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Brennan Jackson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Taking Jaylin Simpson in slot 182 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick221 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A reasonable price with a little left over, Garret Greenfield in the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Fair-plus on JD Bertrand, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in the 242nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
