Draft Grade — Titans

ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Abrams-Draine: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kris Abrams-Draine, the 145th pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 107. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 5, Pick 9, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Layden Robinson in pick No. 184. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Speights. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
