Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans found their guy under center in Ward: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Titans spent their marquee pick on Cam Ward, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The Jones Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in No. 35, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They liked Anthony Belton enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board had Smael Mondon Jr. higher than pick 119, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to the 142nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They did well to land JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A quiet steal in the 241st pick: LaJohntay Wester for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
