Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B-.

Everything else got attention, and running back got none. That is a strange way for the Titans to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They are betting Raym proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Morgan. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They read the board right and Jordan Morgan was the payoff at the 38th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reach for Darius Robinson in the 107th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Value said wait; Andrew Raym in slot 184 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at No. 225, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
