Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Torrence fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ro Torrence got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at No. 227.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in pick 38: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 106 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at No. 146 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Cowing at Round 6, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 221. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in the 227th overall pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They paid sticker price for Josh Proctor in the 242nd pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
