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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Nate Wiggins slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 7th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
You do not let a cornerback like Nate Wiggins reach slot 38 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Cowing went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 144 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy little value on Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at pick 228 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
