The Titans left with their quarterback, and a A- to match. The Titans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 104 name on the board, in the 168th pick.
Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In slot 3 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A premium they did not need to pay, Aireontae Ersery a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
No drama and no debate, Elic Ayomanor went about where he belonged in the 53rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Maxwell Hairston at No. 84. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild is a better player than slot 102 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 104 with a little surplus value in Gunnar Helm. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jordan James
They took Jordan James at par in pick 119, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 142nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 191, where Dont'e Thornton Jr. graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
