Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans turned the phones into found money: A-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Titans started one anyway for Collin Oliver, 57 picks ahead of schedule.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. The Parrish pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and linebacker still on the board.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, with Matthew Golden leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach for Maxwell Hairston in slot 57; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They paid a round early for Ashton Gillotte in pick 85, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A slide stopped in the 103rd pick, with Jalen Milroe worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jacob Parrish while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick136 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in slot 151, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 175, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards slid further than he should have, and the 218th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 227 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A big swing on Collin Oliver at pick 234, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
