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

The Titans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kingsley Eguakun at pick No. 184 regardless, 38 picks early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Value said wait; Kingsley Eguakun in pick No. 184 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
They paid up for Stefon Thompson at the 228th pick when waiting would have done the job. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
