Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Titans.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Titans would have aced it. Zion Logue at the 227th overall pick is 59 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick No. 56 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in pick 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in Round 5, Pick 10 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They paid up for Myles Cole at the 182nd pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the 221st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at No. 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
