Late last week, the Tennessee Titans hired Mike Borgonzi as the team’s new general manager, replacing the vacancy left by Ran Carthon’s firing earlier this month. Earlier today, Borgonzi addressed the media for the first time since his hiring after Chad Brinker had a meeting with the press that wasn’t recorded or streamed anywhere.
One thing that both Brinker and Borgonzi discussed and agreed upon is that they are open to options with regard to their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

“We have to have discipline in the draft and the process,” Borgonzi said. “Draft picks are our biggest form of currency, so when there’s opportunities to trade back and collect more picks, we’re going to do that. That’s always the goal, to get as many picks in the top 100 as you can.”
However, you’ll also notice on that tweet that Brinker indicated that the Titans “can’t pass on a generational talent, and won’t do that” with the number one pick.
So, the Titans want to amass draft picks. The goal is to increase the number of top 100 picks they have over the next three years. But they also won’t pass on a player they deem to have “generational talent.” In 2025, no players come to mind who have that kind of talent outside of Travis Hunter, at least, in this writer’s opinion.
