Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Titans put a flag in the ground for Dayon Hayes, 143 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Higgins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Titans clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in slot 101 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle McCord at No. 118, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at the 140th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick No. 147 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the 167th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in No. 176 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick No. 225 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at slot 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
