Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Titans lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The tape said wait; the Titans did not. Kamran James went at pick No. 182, a good 82 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Neal value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 22nd pick they get a blindside protector, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zion Young
They went early on Zion Young in Round 2, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A wild overpay on Ted Hurst in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
A big swing on Malachi Lawrence at pick No. 86, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at pick 101 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in the 140th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick142 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
They paid sticker price for Treydan Stukes in Round 5, Pick 4, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamran James
Kamran James at the 182nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
