Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Titans a B.

The Titans' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Franklin steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Franklin at the 38th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at pick No. 106 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They read the board right and Jalyx Hunt was the payoff at the 144th overall pick. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick184 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They liked JD Bertrand enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They went early on Maurice Smith in No. 228, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
