Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Titans turned the phones into found money: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Brady Cook at pick 188, a reach of 97 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The Dak Prescott pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in Round 2, Pick 3 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 44th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A conviction pick on Cam Skattebo at pick No. 103 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in No. 120 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 141st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No drama and no debate, Kyle Williams went about where he belonged in pick 167. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 6, Pick 2 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at No. 188. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
