Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans turned the phones into found money: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Titans should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing McClellan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 8th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They did well to land Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 74 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Good price on Jacob Cowing in the 106th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 5, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 145 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at pick 184, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at No. 228 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
