Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Que Robinson, 89 picks early at No. 158.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stout. The phones were where this weekend was really won. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 8th pick they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
No drama and no debate, Ashton Gillotte went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at slot 102 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Circle this one: Charles Grant at the 119th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the 142nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 165 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
No edge and no loss on Dorian Strong in Round 5, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A tidy little value on Quincy Riley in pick 180, a step better than break-even. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JJ Pegues at No. 194. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 211, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A reach for Jake Briningstool in Round 7, Pick 13; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Upton Stout
They will replay Upton Stout at pick No. 237 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in slot 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Parr
By-the-book stuff, Logan Parr at the 246th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
