Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Titans lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Titans spent pick 194 on Patrick Payton, a name the board had a full 54 spots lower. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Landing Lance that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Jeremiyah Love and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 12th pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at No. 66. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A tidy little value on Ted Hurst in Round 3, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in slot 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 101st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Circle this one: Bryce Lance at pick 109 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
Value said wait; J.C. Davis in slot 120 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They paid a round early for Beau Stephens in pick No. 142, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in the 144th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A slide stopped in No. 160, with Skyler Gill-Howard worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 225th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
