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

Of all the ways to open, the Titans chose the head-scratcher, spending the Round 4 slot on Javon Solomon with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Keegan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Good price on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 15th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A straight-up fair deal on Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid up for Xavier Worthy at the 46th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in No. 145 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 6, Pick 9, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Proctor in slot 219. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
