Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB+
The Titans robbed the room for Allen. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Braelon Allen had no business being available in pick 199, and the Titans did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Titans had louder needs to answer first. The Ugwu reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No edge and no loss on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in slot 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 38 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They went early on Jaylin Simpson in No. 145, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 184th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Circle this one: Braelon Allen at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at the 219th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
