Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Titans won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Titans came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

On value alone, Irving makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 38th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 106 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving is a better player than pick 110 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Layden Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
By-the-book stuff, Josh Proctor at pick No. 184 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They paid up for Nathaniel Watson at Round 7, Pick 8 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
