Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Titans: B.

The Titans torched the value chart for MJ Sherman, taking him 63 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at slot 38, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 106th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
A premium they did not need to pay, Sincere Haynesworth a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 184th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
MJ Sherman in Round 7, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
