Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B

The Titans cashed the board's mistake on Jones: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Titans were there to profit. Myles Jones, the No. 204 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 228.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. 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
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Brian Thomas Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at the 144th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roger Rosengarten at Round 6, Pick 9 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Taking Myles Jones in slot 228 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
