Mike Borgonzi is now in place as the Titans’ general manager. Whereas his authority is not going to attain the extent of a lot of his colleagues across the league, he may have an attention-grabbing resolution early in his tenure. Tennessee holds the No. 1 choose in April’s draft, however transferring down the board can be thought of.
“Draft picks are our biggest form of currency, so when there’s opportunities to trade back to collect more picks, we’re going to do that,” Borgonzi said during his introductory press conference via ESPN’s Turron Davenport. “We’re going to have a look at all avenues so far as that primary choose,” president of soccer operations Chad Brinker added. “However we received’t move on a generational expertise with the primary choose within the NFL Draft.”
Heisman winner Travis Hunter is broadly seen as the highest prospect within the 2025 class, however the two-way star (who’s seen as prone to play nook within the NFL at this level) wouldn’t fill Tennessee’s want on the quarterback place. With the Browns, Giants and Raiders proudly owning the second, third and sixth alternatives, Tennessee taking Hunter would add one other layer to the QB sweepstakes in April. Usually, although, Borgonzi’s stance about prioritizing the quantity of picks is cheap.
The Titans personal eight alternatives this yr, however solely two are within the prime 100. Shifting down would assist Borgonzi attain his objective of constructing 30 whole picks within the subsequent three years, which can be key in shaping the route of the franchise transferring ahead. Given the demand for passers amongst many groups on the prime of the board and the shortage of accessible quarterbacks seen as being Day 1 prospects (Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders), a robust trade-up market would seemingly exist if the Titans elected to entertain gives this spring.
After all, the staff’s stance on that entrance will rely upon the analysis of Hunter and the signal-callers who may problem him for listening to their names known as first on draft night time. Whereas Brinker is about to carry tiebreaking authority on many roster-building strikes, will probably be Borgonzi having the final say concerning the draft. How the latter proceeds on that entrance can be one of many extra attention-grabbing league storylines in the course of the spring.
