Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jarrian Jones slide, and the Titans were the ones holding the card at the 219th pick. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick No. 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Brennan Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 145. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at No. 184 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in the 219th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
