Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Titans took T.J. Sanders a full 59 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at pick No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in Round 4, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
A big swing on T.J. Sanders at the 144th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Berger a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 228th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
