Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent No. 228 on DeMonte Capehart, a name most had 38 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in pick No. 70. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A conviction pick on Kris Abrams-Draine at the 106th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They paid sticker price for Andrew Raym in slot 184, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
