Draft Grade — Titans
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Titans and Williams: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Isaiah Williams got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at slot 228. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at Round 1, Pick 13 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slid further than he should have, and No. 40 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 100. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
The board had cheaper options than Mohamed Kamara at pick 106, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A big swing on Kitan Oladapo at the 144th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 184 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
They will replay Isaiah Williams at pick 228 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
