Grading the Tennessee Titans pick of Jaylen Harrell at No. 252 in 2024 NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans wrapped up their 2024 NFL Draft class by selecting Michigan edge rusher Jaylen Harrell with the No. 252 overall pick in the seventh round on Saturday.

Harrell had a productive senior season for the Wolverines en route to a national title, with 7.5 sacks and 10 tackles for a loss.

Here's how the Tennessean grades the Titans' seventh-round pick:

Tennessee Titans No. 252 overall pick grade

The grade:  B

Why? Late in the seventh round, the Titans draft a lottery ticket edge rusher that had a good senior season in terms of production. Harrell will need to make the team via special teams as a rookie, but at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds he'll likely need to add strength to play with regularity off the edge. The Titans could certainly use some functional edge depth too.
