Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marcus Harris at slot 225, a reach of 31 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 38th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick141 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in pick No. 141 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Harris well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
