Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Titans: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Titans spent pick 228 on Carson Steele, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Washington at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in No. 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 41. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A conviction pick on Jalen McMillan at pick 66 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at Round 4, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A big swing on Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malik Washington
They robbed the room for Malik Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kitan Oladapo. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in Round 6, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A real head-scratcher, Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
