Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Henderson: B.

When a board-topper like TreVeyon Henderson slides to the 119th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had White III lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 1 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Taking Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 3 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 102nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at slot 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the 168th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Clay Webb. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Steal is underselling it; Brant Kuithe at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
