Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Titans a B.

The Titans did not so much draft Matthew Jones as overpay for him, 29 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Greenfield to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 7 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in No. 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They paid up for Tykee Smith at the 146th pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick182 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
No drama and no debate, Fabien Lovett went about where he belonged in the 182nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A reach for Trevin Wallace in pick No. 221; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield is a better player than the 227th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in the 242nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
