Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B- weekend for the Titans.

The search is over. The Titans handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Every board in the league had Diggs lower, and that gap is the story. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McMillan. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 35th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at Round 4, Pick 1 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
By-the-book stuff, Dorian Strong at slot 120 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 141 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 167th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fadil Diggs. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 188 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
