Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Kevin Jennings anywhere near the 118th pick. The Titans did, by 131 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simon. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 1 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 101st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at Round 5, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Gray at the 176th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the 210th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Trevor Etienne in slot 234, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
