Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Titans fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ethan Downs, 90 picks early at the 180th overall pick. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

In the end it comes back to Nick Emmanwori, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They robbed the room for Luther Burden III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 45, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 59th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They paid up for Jalen Milroe at the 80th pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 102, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They took Jared Wilson at par in slot 104, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 119th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 121st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A quiet steal in pick 142: Darius Alexander for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Good price on Dorian Strong in Round 5, Pick 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
Value said wait; Ethan Downs in pick No. 180 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa is a better player than pick 241 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
