For the Titans, a 9-7 record was a slow sign of progress for the 2017 season. Now, they have to push even harder with the return of Andrew Luck in the AFC South in Indianapolis. The Titans could end up as a division favorite, but this draft could be key to that process. With needs at WR, OL, LB, and DL, how did the Titans do at addressing the final pieces to big time winning with only 4 picks in their pockets?
LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama
Largely though to tbe one of the absolute best LBs in a weak LB class, Evans fits a major need, and could even possibly start on day one with a solid camp. This was a solid pick for a huge need.
Grade: A
EDGE Harold Landry, Boston College
He was banged up a bit in 2017, but he has been one of the best pass rushers in college football over the last few seasons. He may have to swing out to OLB as a pro, but he should be a player with massive impact early.
Grade: A
S Dane Cruikshank, Arizona
He should provide some depth in the secondary, if he can make the roster, but he will have to make it on special teams. He also did not fit a need, and when you have so few picks, that is troubling.
Grade: C
QB Luke Falk, Washington State
Flak was an enigma in college. Highly productive, but got beat half to death, and played in an air raid system for Mike Leach, who has never exactly been Mr. NFL QB Developer. He is, at best, a risk/reward player, but he did not fit a need for the Titans, and again, they had very little to work with to start with. Not a smart grab here.
Grade: D
Priority needs filled in first two days: 2
Total Points: 11
Average points per pick: 2.75
