Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Titans a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Titans would have aced it. Anim Dankwah at slot 242 is 35 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Flournoy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Titans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the 27th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 55. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 66th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They paid sticker price for Austin Booker in No. 70, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 106 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 10 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in pick 182 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
The board fumbled Ryan Flournoy all the way to No. 221, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at the 227th pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in the 241st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
They reached into another round for Anim Dankwah, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
