Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Latham should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let JC Latham slide, and the Titans were the ones holding the card at pick 38. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The McMahon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 8 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham in pick No. 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at slot 74 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 144th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board had Frank Gore Jr. higher than Round 6, Pick 9, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in No. 228 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
