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 could have an fascinating choice 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 extensively seen as the highest prospect within the 2025 class, however the two-way star (who’s considered 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 picks, Tennessee taking Hunter would add one other layer to the QB sweepstakes in April. Normally, although, Borgonzi’s stance about prioritizing the amount of picks is affordable.
The Titans personal eight picks this yr, however solely two are within the prime 100. Transferring down would assist Borgonzi attain his purpose of constructing 30 complete picks within the subsequent three years, which can be key in shaping the course of the franchise transferring ahead. Given the demand for passers amongst many groups on the prime of the board and the shortage of obtainable quarterbacks considered as being Day 1 prospects (Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders), a powerful trade-up market would probably exist if the Titans elected to entertain gives this spring.
In fact, the group’s stance on that entrance will rely on the analysis of Hunter and the signal-callers who may problem him for listening to their names referred to as first on draft night time. Whereas Brinker is ready to carry tiebreaking authority on many roster-building strikes, it will likely be Borgonzi having the final say concerning the draft. How the latter proceeds on that entrance can be one of many extra fascinating league storylines through the spring.
