Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Titans steal McKinstry and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kool-Aid McKinstry got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Watson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick No. 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 106th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at slot 144 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at Round 6, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick 228 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
