Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Titans: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Titans reached some 63 spots for MJ Sherman, and value like that does not grow back.

The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamari Thrash in slot 106. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They paid up for Austin Booker at Round 5, Pick 8 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Steal is underselling it; Braelon Allen at pick 184 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for MJ Sherman. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
