Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Howard: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Will Howard, slot 168, roughly 61 picks past where he belonged.

Gillotte has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 1st pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A real head-scratcher, Ashton Gillotte in the 35th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 1 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at pick 119 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jordan James
You do not let a running back like Jordan James reach No. 142 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Good price on Ty Hamilton in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
