Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Titans and Melton: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Titans watched Max Melton slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The McMahon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. 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.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 38th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 106th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at pick No. 144 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at pick 184, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at No. 228 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
