Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Wiggins fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nate Wiggins slide, and the Titans were the ones holding the card at pick No. 38. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

The Harrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Steal is underselling it; Nate Wiggins at slot 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 106 on Javon Solomon with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 144th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Harrell at No. 184, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
