Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C
ValueD+ NeedC+ TradesB+ FutureD
Maiava is the plan now, and the Titans grade out a C.

With the present handled at quarterback, the Titans looked to the future and took Jayden Maiava anyway. You can quibble with the timing, not the position. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

Franklin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

It is not that Clarke is a bad player; it is that the Titans had louder needs to answer first.

Hit on Jayden Maiava and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
In the 3rd pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Reed Harris
A wild overpay on Reed Harris in the 67th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Peter Clarke
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker to take Peter Clarke, a tight end that was not the priority.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sahir West
They talked themselves into Sahir West at slot 140, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kam Franklin
Kam Franklin at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
This one needs a full-page explanation: Niki Prongos in pick No. 223, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
