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

You could see the war room lean forward. Ro Torrence at Round 7, Pick 1 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Anderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the 38th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in pick 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A straight-up fair deal on Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
You do not let a cornerback like Ro Torrence reach No. 221 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A reach on Josh Proctor in pick No. 227; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson in slot 242 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
