Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Titans.

The Titans looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kingsley Eguakun at pick No. 184 regardless, 38 picks early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at the 38th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Eguakun in Round 6, Pick 9, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at slot 228, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
