Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The war room fell hard for Jacob Cowing, and it showed at the Round 4 slot: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Verse falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jared Verse
They robbed the room for Jared Verse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in slot 107 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 9 is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
