Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Titans.

The Titans spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Landing Riley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 3. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They reached into another round for Cody Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 120th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 141, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
The board fumbled Quincy Riley all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
A slide stopped in pick No. 178, with Kalel Mullings worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
The board had Ajani Cornelius higher than No. 188, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
