Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Titans.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Titans took Barryn Sorrell a full 87 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Landing Fortune that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 1st pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
The board had Kaleb Johnson higher than pick No. 49, and the running back fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A conviction pick on Tez Johnson at the 81st overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reach for Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 17; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard slipping to slot 119 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They let O'Donnell Fortune come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 3. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A real head-scratcher, Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at the 241st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
