Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Titans would have aced it. Michael Barrett at Round 5, Pick 8 is 39 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Zinter.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Nice patience on Zak Zinter, who had no business lasting to pick 106. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at No. 144, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in the 184th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Jeremy Flax at the 228th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
