Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Titans turned the phones into found money: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Titans, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Washington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Hall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Titans had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid a round early for Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in Round 3, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 107th overall pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Nice patience on Audric Estime, who had no business lasting to slot 111. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick No. 118 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached a country mile for Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 149, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in the 169th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Circle this one: Tahj Washington at Round 6, Pick 44 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
