Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Titans, and a B to prove it.

The Carson Steele selection is the head-turner. The Titans reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 11 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 42nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A clean, defensible pick in the 106th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jacob Cowing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They reached into another round for Jaylin Simpson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 184 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in the 228th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick230 Rnd7 Carson Steele
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Steele in Round 7, Pick 10, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
