Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Titans a B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Titans spent pick 106 on Javon Solomon while edge rusher, running back and other spots sat unaddressed.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Landing Hart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Carter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 7 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in slot 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in Round 5, Pick 8. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They paid sticker price for Andrew Raym in pick No. 184, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in No. 228 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
