Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Titans for Hadden: B.

The board owed the Titans one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 168 name on the board, sitting there at slot 227 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They are betting Briggs proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They took Olumuyiwa Fashanu at par in slot 7, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in pick No. 38, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They barely believed it either: Jaden Hicks still on the board at the 106th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 146 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
You do not let a wide receiver like Jacob Cowing reach Round 6, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They let Caedan Wallace come to them and pounced at No. 221. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 227th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jowon Briggs this early at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
