The Tennessee Titans came into the draft after another disappointing season.  They really needed to add an offensive weapon or two for Jake Locker, address their horrendous secondary, beef up their offensive line and add depth to their defensive line.  For the most part, the Titans did a great job addressing all of their needs with talent and value, with the exception of a real head scratcher in the second round. 

So, with that in mind; let’s take a look at the analysis and grades for every pick in last month’s NFL Draft. 

First Round, 10th Pick: Chance Warmack - Offensive Guard, Alabama

Warmack was my top-rated guard in this year’s class.  He’s an instant upgrade over Robert Turner and completely solidifies this line along with Andy Levitre.  Chris Johnson will have no excuses for a poor performance in 2013 now.  Grade: A

Second Round, 34th Pick: Justin Hunter - Wide Receiver, Tennessee

I’m not a big fan of this deal, despite Hunter’s talents.  The Titans gave up a seventh rounder this year as well as a third-round pick next season, just to move up six spots to make this selection.  It’s extremely likely that Hunter would’ve still been available at No. 40, so there’s really no value here.  Grade: C

Third Round, 70th Pick: Blidi Wreh-Wilson - Cornerback, UConn

One of the Titans biggest needs headed into the draft was definitely cornerback.  They were able to get great value in Wreh-Wilson here, who I had a high second-round grade on.  Plus, he’ll be able to come in and start right away - which gives this pick even better value.  Grade: A

Third Round, 97th Pick: Zaviar Gooden - Linebacker, Missouri

The Titans needed to add depth at linebacker, and they got a very talented player in Gooden, who could push Colin McCarthy for the starting job by the end of the summer.  Grade: A

Fourth Round, 107th Pick: Brian Schwenke - Center, California

This is a great pick.  Incumbent center Fernando Velasco was the 11th best center in the league in 2012 according to Pro Football Focus, so it’s likely that Schwenke will be more of a rotational/depth guy to start with.  Which is okay, when you consider that the Titans’ interior of their offensive line now consists of Chance Warmack, Andy Levitre, Velasco and Schwenke.  That’s a solid four guys to fill three spots.  Grade: A

Fifth Round, 142nd Pick: Lavar Edwards - Defensive End, LSU

Tennessee needed defensive end depth and got it in Edwards.  He’ll be a rotational guy right away.  Grade: B

Sixth Round, 202nd Pick: Khalid Wooten - Cornerback,  Nevada

The Titans definitely needed to grab another corner at some point in the draft, and got a good player and decent value with Wooten in the sixth.  Wooten made a pre-draft visit to Tennessee and had a private workout for the Titans.  I had to dock them slightly here for not taking Jordan Poyer though.  Grade: B

Seventh Round, 248th Pick: Daimion Stafford - Safety, Nebraska

The Titans could’ve benefited from taking a more talented safety earlier in the draft, but they still got decent value here.  Grade: B-

Final Grade: B+ (88 Percent)
