Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Titans turned the phones into found money: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Titans were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The cost of the Steele reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Titans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They went early on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 144th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A wild overpay on Carson Steele in the 228th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
