Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Titans skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was.

They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 106 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in pick No. 144 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter in the 220th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 228 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
