Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Titans spent real capital to be 114 picks early on Davin Vann, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Belton. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 1 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They liked JT Tuimoloau enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 35. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at slot 102 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the 142nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 5, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nohl Williams. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Circle this one: Theo Wease Jr. at pick 241 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
