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

The Titans put a flag in the ground for Zachariah Branch, 54 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Hecht falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Zachariah Branch
In No. 26 they get a true top target, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Nice patience on D'Angelo Ponds, who had no business lasting to the 60th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson is a better player than pick No. 66 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in pick 101 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A conviction pick on Ted Hurst at slot 140 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Vincent Anthony Jr. in the 142nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
They did well to land Jaydn Ott in Round 6, Pick 3, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak slid further than he should have, and slot 238 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
