Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans bet the future on Ward. The board says B-.

The Titans spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Brown Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They liked Jayden Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 17. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 81 with a little surplus value in Elijah Arroyo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 103rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Skattebo at the 122nd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They jumped the gun on Tyler Baron, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at No. 167 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They went early on Jaylen Reed in pick 178, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam at the 208th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Simeon Barrow Jr. at pick No. 213, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Sam Brown Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Brown Jr. in the 215th pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
