Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Fitzgerald: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, the 241st pick, roughly 124 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Golden lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 1 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in the 35th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 102nd pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in No. 119 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 142 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick 168 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 7, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
