Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Oladapo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named running back, a need the Titans walked right past.

On value alone, Oladapo makes the weekend a net positive. If Watson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy little value on Chop Robinson in No. 38, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 106th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
The board fumbled Kitan Oladapo all the way to Round 6, Pick 9, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They jumped the gun on Nathaniel Watson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
