Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Titans grade out a B-.

The search is over. The Titans handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Hairston at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The Baron pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 1st overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
No drama and no debate, Jaylin Noel went about where he belonged in pick 63. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Somehow Maxwell Hairston was still sitting there in No. 95, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 103 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They went early on Tyler Baron in slot 141, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach the 167th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 178 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. It fills a real need, too.
