Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans won the night they stopped Pearsall from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Titans were there to profit. Ricky Pearsall, the No. 73 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 106. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than the 38th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at slot 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
The board had cheaper options than Austin Booker at pick No. 144, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They liked Andrew Raym enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 184. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They paid up for Nathaniel Watson at No. 228 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
