Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Proctor: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Proctor had no business being available in the 228th pick, and the Titans did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Booker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The Cole Kmet deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in slot 38, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 123rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Austin Booker
They reached into another round for Austin Booker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach for JD Bertrand in pick 184; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Circle this one: Josh Proctor at the 228th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
This one needs a full-page explanation: Troy Omeire in pick No. 248, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
