Draft Grade — Titans
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Titans let Everette fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Daylen Everette had no business being available in pick No. 128, and the Titans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Everette is a bad player; it is that the Titans had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 28 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They let Sonny Styles come to them and pounced at slot 35. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 38th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A cornerback of that caliber at the 77th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at pick No. 101 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in Round 4, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Daylen Everette while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
Pick129 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They read the board right and Joe Royer was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They barely believed it either: Parker Brailsford still on the board at the 140th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Fair-plus on Malik Benson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
You do not let an offensive lineman like Beau Stephens reach slot 163 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kyle Louis
Somehow Kyle Louis was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They will replay Thaddeus Dixon at pick 238 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
