Borgonzi said it’s too soon to know what direction the Titans will head with the first pick.

“We’re very early in those discussions,” he said.

Borgonzi arrived from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he spent the past 14 years. He oversaw a massive overhaul of the roster in 2013, timed up with the arrival of Andy Reid as head coach. The Chiefs were 2-14 in 2012, prior to Reid’s arrival, earning the top pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Those Chiefs were badly in need of a quarterback, just as the Titans might be following a 3-14 season during which the QB play was sub-par.

But Reid’s first major personnel move that year was trading for Alex Smith, which was consummated prior to Super Bowl XLVII and made official on the first day of the 2013 league year. They then selected offensive tackle Eric Fisher at No. 1 overall.

If the Titans don’t believe there is a quarterback worthy of the No. 1 pick — a “generational” QB, in their words — then they could take a similar approach by securing a veteran option first and deciding who the best player in the draft is.

Then again, Borgonzi indicated that the draft remains the most tried and true method of rebuilding, stating his plan for the Titans as wanting to “supplement in free agency, but we want to build through the draft.”

Trading back — whether with the first pick, or anywhere in the draft thereafter — is something Borgonzi appears very open to considering, saying that “draft picks are our biggest form of currency.” Interestingly, Borgonzi helped feed the Titans’ future draft-pick pool as a member of the Chiefs’ front office, via the DeAndre Hopkins trade, sending a 2025 fifth-rounder to Tennessee. On the flip side, the Titans still owe the Chiefs a 2025 third-round pick for last March’s L’Jarius Sneed deal.

“That’s always the goal: to get as many picks in the top 100 as you can,” Borgonzi said.

He’s approaching the situation without preconceived plans.

“I’m coming into this with an open mind,” he said on Wednesday. “We’re going to evaluate every situation to make the best decision with that pick.”
