Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Titans a B.

The curious call sets the tone. With running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still glaring, the Titans used No. 106 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not exactly short of. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Haynesworth reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in pick 7, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 38th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 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.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
A conviction pick on Sincere Haynesworth at slot 144 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brennan Jackson at pick No. 184. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes in No. 228 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
