Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Titans fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Oladapo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in pick 11, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in slot 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A quiet steal in the 44th overall pick: Ladd McConkey for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in pick No. 130, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at No. 145, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali in the 219th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
