Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans let Abrams-Draine fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 120 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 144. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They will need Watson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick No. 38, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
You do not let an edge rusher like Gabriel Murphy reach the 106th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at pick 144. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at the 228th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
