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

The Titans did not so much draft Patrick Payton as overpay for him, 57 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 7 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at Round 1, Pick 23 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick33 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
They liked Daylen Everette enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 33. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the 38th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaeden Roberts in pick 48, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 65th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A real head-scratcher, Parker Brailsford in No. 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
By-the-book stuff, Bray Hubbard at pick No. 141 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
No edge and no loss on CJ Baxter in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 180th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
A reach on Brandon Inniss in pick 240; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
