Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Titans.

The Evan Anderson pick is the one that will follow the Titans into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wallace. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in No. 106; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 5, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Cole a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at pick 221, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in No. 227, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A big swing on Evan Anderson at the 242nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
