Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Titans treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 5 slot on Tanor Bortolini a full 43 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in pick No. 43, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 66th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bralen Trice in the 71st pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at slot 108 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in pick 146 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
They paid a round early for Daijun Edwards in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Washington at the 212th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 221 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach No. 227 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in Round 7, Pick 10 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Circle this one: Ryan Flournoy at slot 232 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A conviction pick on Jalen Coker at the 236th pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A big swing on Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
