Grading the Titans NFL Draft

Tennessee Titans | Draft Grade: D

In the Titans’ shoes, I would have acquired a veteran starting quarterback earlier this offseason so that I could have taken Travis Hunter at 1.1—or explored my trade-down possibilities.

I wasn’t high on what Tennessee did on Day 2. UCLA EDGE Oluwafemi Oladejo is a raw convert from off-ball linebacker with projectable traits – but he’s got work to do, and I thought there were better players on the board at the time of his selection. 

It appears the NFL shared my trepidation on Penn State S Kevin Winston Jr.’s evaluation—there’s upside there if his instincts improve, but that’s no sure thing after having lost his final collegiate season to injury.

On Day 3, Tennessee got to work on some pass-catching help for Ward in the form of WRs Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and TE Gunnar Helm.

Cam Ward Fantasy Football Value for 2025

Ian Hartitz: Ward's arm talent and ability to create off-script should translate to bunches of fantasy-friendly passing production … once the Titans' rather abysmal offensive environment catches up.

Barring immediate top-tier passing efficiency, I find it awfully difficult to rationalize ranking the No. 1 overall pick ahead of more proven passers like Geno Smith, Matthew Stafford, and Sam Darnold.
