Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Torrence should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Ro Torrence slide 50 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Reaching for Briggs left real value on the table behind him. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at Round 1, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Value with a capital V on Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 146 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 182nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
You do not let a cornerback like Ro Torrence reach No. 227 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
The board had Trevin Wallace higher than the 242nd pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
