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

The Titans clearly saw something nobody else did in Dylan McMahon, taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Liufau steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No drama and no debate, Olumuyiwa Fashanu went about where he belonged in slot 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Nothing to complain about; Ladd McConkey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 107th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 145 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Marist Liufau in Round 6, Pick 9, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
