Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Arnold fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Titans left running back untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Arnold steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Steal is underselling it; Terrion Arnold at pick No. 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in the 106th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They jumped the gun on Austin Booker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They paid a round early for JD Bertrand in the 184th pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
A reach on Maurice Smith in Round 7, Pick 8; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
