Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans turned the phones into found money: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Titans came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Reaching for Brown left real value on the table behind him. The Strong value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Anthony Hill Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 53rd overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the 78th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A reach for Caleb Tiernan in pick 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ian Strong
They robbed the room for Ian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 112. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
No edge and no loss on Nic Anderson in No. 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
No drama and no debate, Davison Igbinosun went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Good price on Max Iheanachor in pick No. 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
The board had CJ Daniels higher than the 186th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
They took Malik Hartford at par in Round 7, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 230th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie in pick No. 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
