Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Titans and Taylor: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Mason Taylor slide 74 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Cornelius left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on James Pearce Jr. at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the 35th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 9 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to slot 101, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick 118, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Somehow Kyren Lacy was still sitting there in pick No. 140, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 176th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They barely believed it either: Jamon Dumas-Johnson still on the board at the 239th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
