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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kingsley Eguakun, 38 picks early at pick No. 184. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 7 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy little value on Chop Robinson in pick No. 38, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They talked themselves into Kingsley Eguakun at the 184th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 8 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
