Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Tim Smith pick is the one that will follow the Titans into the fall. They took him 39 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wease.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 7 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 90th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No drama and no debate, Tory Horton went about where he belonged in pick No. 107. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Theo Wease
A tidy bit of business in pick 144, where Theo Wease graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tim Smith well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
