Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Titans.

The tape said wait; the Titans did not. Grayson Murphy went at the Round 5 slot, a good 31 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Melton. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Worthy in slot 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reach for Payton Wilson in the 42nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Melton
They barely believed it either: Max Melton still on the board at No. 106. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Grayson Murphy in the 146th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sione Vaki in pick 182, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick221 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in No. 221 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eric Watts
No edge and no loss on Eric Watts in pick No. 227; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the 242nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
