Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Titans torched the value chart for Richard Jibunor, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Hadden pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 8 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 39th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Austin Booker
No edge and no loss on Austin Booker in pick No. 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Mahogany in Round 4, Pick 6. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They went early on Tykee Smith in pick 146, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than No. 182, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick187 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the 187th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick227 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A quiet steal in slot 227: Garret Greenfield for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Good price on Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A reach on Jalen Coker in pick No. 242; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
