Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Titans grade out a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Titans' quarterback, full stop. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They are betting Rucker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
They took Cam Ward at par in No. 1, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Nice patience on Luther Burden III, who had no business lasting to pick No. 35. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the 120th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 5, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in slot 178, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in pick 188, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
