Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans won the night they stopped Marks from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Titans were there to profit. Woody Marks, the No. 180 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 246th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Simpkins III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 1st pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 103 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in the 120th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Will Howard
The board fumbled Will Howard all the way to pick 141, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick167 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 188 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 6 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in the 219th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at Round 7, Pick 30 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
