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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Titans never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Suamataia reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 6 with a little surplus value in Jacob Cowing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They took Andrew Raym at par in the 184th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at slot 228 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
