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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Carson Steele in pick 228, a good 31 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid up for Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 6 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach on JD Bertrand in pick 184; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the 228th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
