Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent the 144th pick on Matt Gulbin, a name most had 39 spots down the list.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Myles Garrett deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 22nd pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Nothing to complain about; Gennings Dunker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at the 70th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones slipping to pick No. 101 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They paid a round early for Keylan Rutledge in pick 103, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They reached a country mile for Louis Moore at No. 142, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matt Gulbin in the 144th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaleb Elarms-Orr in slot 184. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in pick No. 225 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
