Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Titans a B.

The tape said wait; the Titans did not. Javon Baker went at pick No. 144, a good 36 picks before the board was ready.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Magee. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. 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.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 38th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in No. 106, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They reached a country mile for Javon Baker at pick 144, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They let Zion Tupuola-Fetui come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 228 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
