Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Titans: B.

The tape said wait; the Titans did not. Kingsley Eguakun went at slot 184, a good 38 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in slot 38, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 106th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They liked Austin Booker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 144. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Eguakun in Round 6, Pick 9, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in No. 228 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
