Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Clark: B.

When a board-topper like De'Corian Clark slides to No. 228, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Watson lower, and that gap is the story. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
No edge and no loss on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 7th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 51 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A clean, defensible pick in the 83rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Cooper Beebe. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach slot 106 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at Round 5, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 156 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 221 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
