Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Titans spent slot 184 on Kingsley Eguakun, a name most had 30 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Franklin where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 6, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nehemiah Pritchett in the 144th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Eguakun. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darius Muasau at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
