Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the 104th pick: the Titans steal Sampson and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dylan Sampson slide, and the Titans were the ones holding the card at the 104th overall pick. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The cost of the Colby reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emeka Egbuka in the 28th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in slot 37, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick 47 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at Round 4, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to the 119th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in No. 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
