Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

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

If Dorlus pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They reached into another round for Brandon Dorlus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 106th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in pick 144, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A conviction pick on Andrew Raym at Round 6, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They jumped the gun on Nathaniel Watson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
