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

The Titans spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dillon Johnson, the No. 170 name on the board, in No. 219.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Somehow Quinyon Mitchell was still sitting there in No. 38, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamal Hadden in the 184th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
