Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Titans robbed the room for Torrence. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Ro Torrence slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Every board in the league had Jefferson lower, and that gap is the story. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at Round 3, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington is a better player than pick 106 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 145th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 146 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 182nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick No. 221 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick227 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
