Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Allen: B.

When a board-topper like Braelon Allen slides to No. 228, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Harrell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Marvin Harrison Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at the 38th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Somehow Cooper Beebe was still sitting there in No. 106, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Taking Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 144 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They went early on Jaylen Harrell in the 184th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 7, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
