Mike Borgonzi is now in place as the Titans’ general manager, and while his authority will not reach the level of many of his colleagues around the league, he will have an interesting decision to make early in his tenure. Tennessee currently holds the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, but moving down the board is something which will receive consideration. 
“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 look at all avenues as far as that number one pick,” president of football operations Chad Brinker added. “But we won’t pass on a generational talent with the first pick in the NFL Draft.”
Heisman winner Travis Hunter is widely seen as a the top prospect in the 2025 class, but the two-way star (who is viewed as being likely to play corner in the NFL at this point) would not fill Tennessee’s need at the quarterback position. With the Browns, Giants and Raiders respectively owning the second, third and sixth selections, Tennessee taking Hunter would add another layer to the QB sweepstakes in April. In general, though, Borgonzi’s stance about prioritizing volume of picks is a reasonable one.
The Titans currently own eight selections this year, but only two of those are in the top 100. Moving down would help Borgonzi reach his stated goal of making 30 total picks in the next three years, something which will be key in shaping the direction of the franchise moving forward. Given the demand for passers amongst many teams at the top of the board and the scarcity of available quarterbacks viewed as being Day 1 prospects (Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders), a strong trade-up market would likely exist if the Titans elected to entertain offers this spring.
Of course, the team’s stance on that front will depend on the evaluation of Hunter and the signal-callers who could challenge him for hearing their names called first on draft night. While Brinker is set to hold tiebreaking authority on many roster-building moves, it will be Borgonzi having the final say with respect to the draft. How the latter proceeds on that front will be one of the more interesting league storylines during the spring.
Trade back at least twice. Let Levis destroy another season, tank for Arch.
Sign Darnold, stop with the “he sucks” talk, look at his season as a whole, not just 2 games. Realize he’s better than Sanders or Ward and is only 27
Then trade down a few spots, collect more picks including another 1st next year and fill as many holes as possible
Look at his entire career, not just the one time he had a paddycake schedule, Justin Jefferson, and one of the better offensive minds for a HC
Ok, then draft Ward or Sanders, I’m sure they will be much much better
Sign Abdul Carter from Penn State….. Sign Darnold, possibly trade for Pickett.
*draft Abdul which I think for fit and talent you could argue is worth the first pick unless you can trade down a few spots and snag him or a top o lineman still. This team has a lot of holes so really they can go in a lot of directions. Pickett would probably want to stay in Philly and unless wowed by a deal I think the feeling is mutual. Hurts will probably miss a game or two on average thanks to his style of play and Pickett showed he can be an ample replacement so long as he has that offensive line and running game.
If a team is willing to give up a stupid haul go for it
Abdul Carter > Travis Hunter
I’m pretty sure there is no Warren Moon waiting to be drafted so I’d be surprised if the Titans don’t trade back.
