Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 7 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They jumped the gun on Justin Rogers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. A need, and now a little less of one.
