Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Titans.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Titans walked out of the weekend still thin at running back, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Carter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A clean, defensible pick in pick 106 with a little surplus value in Jacob Cowing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They jumped the gun on Sincere Haynesworth, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 184 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at the 228th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
