Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B.

The Titans did not so much draft Eyabi Okie-Anoma as overpay for him, 45 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 7th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in No. 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They talked themselves into Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A wild overpay on Javion Cohen in pick 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
A conviction pick on Elijah Jones at the 184th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick No. 219, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
