Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Titans took RJ Oben at pick 188, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Alexander makes the weekend a net positive. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 1 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Landon Jackson at pick 35, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 103rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at slot 120 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 141st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 5, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
A quiet steal in slot 178: Ben Sauls for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at No. 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
