Grade: B+

Best pick: Rashaan Evans (LB, Alabama)

Questionable pick: Dane Cruikshank (S, Arizona)

Sleeper pick: Harold Landry (EDGE, Boston College)

Linebacker was one of the most pressing needs for the Titans heading into the 2018 Draft and they ensured they landed their top player by trading up to get Alabama’s Rashaan Evans. With Evans likely to be off the board in the next several picks, Tennessee was able to get a player who should make an immediate impact from day one.

Had Harold Landry entered the draft last year, he very well could have been a top-15 pick. After a down 2017 season, however, the Titans were able to land him with the ninth pick in the second round. Landry is a bit undersized but possesses outstanding athleticism and ability to bend the edge that could make him a top pass rushing threat in the NFL. Landry’s length and short-area quickness should help to vault a Titans pass rush that already finished among the top five in the entire league last season.

With only four selections in the draft, the Titans did a good job of maximizing their value, and they’ve made it clear that they intend to build the type of outstanding defense to help Marcus Mariota in Mike Vrabel’s first year as head coach.
