Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Titans: B.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Titans will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th overall pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Newton in pick 41. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at No. 146 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A conviction pick on Tahj Brooks at the 187th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 230 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
