Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Titans this weekend: B+.

The Zion Logue pick is the one that will follow the Titans into the fall. They took him 65 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Mustapha steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 11 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 38 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at No. 107, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 130th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
A premium they did not need to pay, Sincere Haynesworth a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid sticker price for Curtis Jacobs in the 179th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Circle this one: Malik Mustapha at slot 184 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
