Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Titans.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Titans left running back untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Getting Phillips where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in No. 38, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at slot 106 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips is a better player than pick No. 184 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
By-the-book stuff, Nathaniel Watson at the 228th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
