Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Titans.

Everything else got attention, and running back got none. That is a strange way for the Titans to leave a draft.

If Smith-Wade 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.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 38 with a little surplus value in Chop Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chau Smith-Wade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at pick 184, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
They liked Dylan McMahon enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 8. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
