Titans GM open to trading back from No. 1 pick
Briefly

New Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi has expressed a strategic approach to the upcoming NFL draft, indicating a willingness to trade the No. 1 pick to gain additional selections. This aligns with the franchise's mission to build through the draft as highlighted by president Chad Brinker. Prioritizing playmakers, the team aims to collect 30 draft picks over the next three years, with a focus on acquiring high-value selections. However, with only Will Levis under contract as a quarterback, trading down may jeopardize their chance at a top quarterback prospect.
"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.
"We want to make 30 draft picks over the next three years, and we want 12 of those to be in the top 100s," Brinker said.
"With Will Levis being the only quarterback under contract, the Titans don't have a proven option on the roster to be their franchise cornerstone."
Having come from the Kansas City Chiefs, Borgonzi understands how hitting at quarterback in the draft can launch a team into elite status.
