Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B-.

The Titans torched the value chart for Noah Thomas, taking him 48 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gray.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the 45th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 101 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
They paid sticker price for Aubrey Burks in the 133rd overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick141 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray is a better player than slot 141 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at Round 6, Pick 5 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
