Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Randolph Jr.: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Keith Randolph Jr. slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 106th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Somehow Keith Randolph Jr. was still sitting there in No. 184, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. Weaver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
