Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Titans.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Titans never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That Phillips pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Haynesworth pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in the 38th overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in Round 4, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They went early on Sincere Haynesworth in slot 144, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A tidy bit of business in No. 184, where Andru Phillips graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Fair-plus on Steele Chambers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
