Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Magee: B.

The board owed the Titans one, and it paid up: Jordan Magee, the No. 193 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 8 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Clark lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in the 38th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 6. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at pick No. 144, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They jumped the gun on De'Corian Clark, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 228 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
