Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans robbed the room for Smith-Wade. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Chau Smith-Wade slides to pick No. 184, you do not overthink it, and the Titans did not.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. McMahon has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 38 with a little surplus value in Chop Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Ainias Smith at Round 4, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Simpson in No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick190 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 190th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at pick 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A premium they did not need to pay, Demani Richardson a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
