Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The board owed the Titans one, and it paid up: Christian Alliegro, the No. 200 name on the board, sitting there at the 223rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Harbor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the 2nd pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Trevor Lauck
In slot 28 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh in slot 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Deuce Alexander
Deuce Alexander at the 66th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
A real head-scratcher, Nyck Harbor in pick 103 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Finley
Eli Finley at pick No. 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover at No. 141 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Desmeal Leigh
Desmeal Leigh at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
Taking Christian Alliegro in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
