Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Titans won the night they stopped Odunze from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Rome Odunze got past him. The Titans do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot.

The Means reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in pick No. 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Nothing to complain about; Grayson Murphy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley is a better player than the 221st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bub Means
A real head-scratcher, Bub Means in the 227th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nice patience on Frank Gore Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 242. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
