Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Titans: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Titans started one anyway for Dante Dowdell, 21 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Hill where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 2, Pick 5 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Value with a capital V on Deontae Lawson in No. 68, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They liked Tacario Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jyaire Hill in pick No. 143. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick145 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in pick 145 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in pick 186 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
They talked themselves into Dante Dowdell at slot 242, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
