Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
White should have been long gone. The Titans pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ricky White, the No. 177 name on the board, stolen at slot 230. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 9 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
A tidy little value on Nate Wiggins in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 109 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 10, where Smael Mondon Jr. graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ricky White
Taking Ricky White in pick 230 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
