Titans Have Received Calls On No. 1 Pick

February 25, 2025 by Pro Football Rumors

With the Combine set to take place, conversations related to the draft will soon intensify with discussions about movement near the top of the board likely to pick up. In the case of the Titans, conversations on that front have already taken place.

New general manager Mike Borgonzi said on Tuesday (via ESPN’s Turron Davenport) Tennessee has received calls about the No. 1 pick. The possibility of a trade down the order is not new, of course; Borgonzi said not long after he was hired that selling off the top selection is something which will receive consideration. President of football operations Chad Brinker has control of the Titans’ 53-man roster, but it will be Borgonzi running the operation with respect to the draft.

Will Levis has not developed as hoped during his two years in the NFL, and competition for the starting spot will be added this offseason. That could include the Titans using their top pick on a signal-caller, but a decision on that front is complicated by the fact Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are not held in the same regard as the top passers from last year’s class. Borgonzi said he would not pass up the chance to add a “generational talent” through the draft, a presumed reference to two-way Colorado star Travis Hunter. When speaking on Tuesday, the former Chiefs exec said he feels a shortlist of prospects meet the “generational” standard, so only a small move down the order could be in store if an agreement were to be made.

To no surprise, Borgonzi made it clear (via TitansInsider’s Terry McCormick) the Titans are prepared to take a quarterback first overall; as Davenport notes, Tennessee’s free agent approach at the position will not – at least publicly – affect the team’s plan for the draft. For now, attention will remain aimed at the willingness of other top-10 teams to move up in a draft class which is believed to be lacking in star power. The Browns are set to select second overall, but they too could be interested in moving down the order.

The demand for franchise quarterbacks is on track to outweigh the supply, meaning the draft could see multiple teams in need of an aggressive approach. The Raiders will be a team to watch on that front, meaning they could be a potential trade partner for the top selection. Things can and will change over the coming weeks, but for now there is an expectation around the league Tennessee will ultimately opt to move down the board.

The QB landscape will take shape as free agency unfolds, and the direction the Titans take on that front will no doubt impact the nature of trade discussions for the No. 1 pick. It will be interesting to see if serious conversations pick up as the draft draws nearer.
