Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a B for the Titans.

The search is over. The Titans handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

However the rest shakes out, Martinez at that price is a win they earned. The cost of the Ingram-Dawkins reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 7 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nice patience on Demetrius Knight Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 72. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick No. 103. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 120 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
A slide stopped in the 141st overall pick, with Nohl Williams worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Damien Martinez in the 178th pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at pick 188. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
