Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Titans: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Titans walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every board in the league had Suamataia lower, and that gap is the story. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Zinter.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in pick 106, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid up for Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 144th pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Nothing to complain about; Cody Schrader went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They paid a round early for De'Corian Clark in Round 6, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
The board had cheaper options than Maurice Smith at slot 228, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
