Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Titans.

The Titans clearly saw something nobody else did in Malachi Lawrence, taking him 36 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 4th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at the 35th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A reach on Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 66; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at Round 4, Pick 1 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in No. 140, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They did well to land Josh Moten in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz at Round 7, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
