Draft Grade — Titans
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D-, for the Titans.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent slot 241 on Barryn Sorrell, a name most had 87 spots down the list.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Shedeur Sanders at the 3rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They jumped the gun on Matthew Golden, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick35 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They paid up for Marcus Mbow at slot 35 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Value with a capital V on Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3, Pick 1, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 102nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No drama and no debate, Smael Mondon Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 104. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in pick No. 119, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at pick 134 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 142nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
No edge and no loss on Dorian Strong in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at No. 180, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
