Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Mustapha fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malik Mustapha got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 8. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Baker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
By-the-book stuff, Olumuyiwa Fashanu at slot 7 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They barely believed it either: Cooper Beebe still on the board at Round 4, Pick 6. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the 184th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Malik Mustapha
A safety of that caliber at pick 228 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
