Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesD- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Titans and Stroman: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jalen Stroman tumbling to the Titans in the 182nd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and quarterback.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Value with a capital V on Sonny Styles in slot 35, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Taking Brandon Cisse in pick No. 60 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 63 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in the 66th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at No. 82 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and quarterback to take Keionte Scott, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in pick 96 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the 97th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Markel Bell
Markel Bell slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at No. 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A slide stopped in slot 140, with Demond Claiborne worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
The board fumbled Michael Trigg all the way to Round 5, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They read the board right and Beau Stephens was the payoff at the 161st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
A safety of that caliber at slot 182 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Nice patience on Josh Cameron, who had no business lasting to No. 194. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 211 with a little surplus value in Toriano Pride Jr.. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
