Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Titans.

The Ahmed Hassanein selection is the head-turner. The Titans reached 71 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Titans indulged a want in Ransom while a need in offensive lineman, running back and other spots stayed open. Ransom falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They paid up for Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 3 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 103 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 120 on Lathan Ransom, a safety they were not short of.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
They reached into another round for Ahmed Hassanein, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy bit of business in the 188th pick, where Jack Kiser graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
