Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans robbed the room for Proctor. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Proctor had no business being available in slot 228, and the Titans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The cost of the Booker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 7th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Ainias Smith a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A reach on Austin Booker in pick No. 144; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They robbed the room for Josh Proctor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
