Draft Grade — Titans
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Titans: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Titans walked out of the weekend still thin at running back, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Cooper has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tupuola-Fetui.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 7 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A wild overpay on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 38, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 4, Pick 6 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
No drama and no debate, Nehemiah Pritchett went about where he belonged in slot 144. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value with a capital V on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in the 228th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
