Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Titans.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Titans started one anyway for Matthew Jones, 29 picks ahead of schedule.

Laube at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 106th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
They jumped the gun on Walter Rouse, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They paid sticker price for JD Bertrand in No. 221, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A reach for Michael Barrett in the 227th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at No. 242, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
