Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Titans drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent Round 6, Pick 39 on Jalen Travis, a name most had 72 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Higgins.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at the 66th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at slot 78 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and No. 95 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 120th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They jumped the gun on Damien Martinez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They went early on Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They paid a round early for KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 178th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They robbed the room for Jay Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 226. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
