Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Titans bet the future on Sanders. The board says B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Azareye'h Thomas at Round 7, Pick 1 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 3 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
The board had Mykel Williams higher than No. 35, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at No. 103 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Trey Amos
Somehow Trey Amos was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 18, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 167th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 178 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 188th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in pick 217, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
