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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Titans came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. DeMarcus Walker gives the group a proven body among the projects.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Proctor. Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 13th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 38 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey is a better player than the 44th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 4, Pick 7 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
The board had cheaper options than Sataoa Laumea at slot 111, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 145; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 184 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
The board had Josh Proctor higher than the Round 6 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
