Draft Grade — Titans

ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Flournoy: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 242 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for McLachlan left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They reached into another round for Kingsley Suamataia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick No. 146 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 182 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Frank Gore Jr. at No. 221 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
They talked themselves into Kalen DeLoach at the 227th pick, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
The board fumbled Ryan Flournoy all the way to pick 242, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
