Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Titans: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Collin Oliver at the Round 6 slot. The Titans jumped the board by 145 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Winston Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking specialist early while offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
No edge and no loss on James Pearce Jr. in slot 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at Round 2, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 James Burnip
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 103 on James Burnip, a specialist they were not short of.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at the 120th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They will replay Tai Felton at No. 167 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
Value said wait; Collin Oliver in pick No. 178 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
