Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Titans never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If Richardson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 6, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach for JD Bertrand in slot 184; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson at pick 228 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
