“I definitely think there’s a group of players up there that we really like,” Borgonzi said. “Especially Jeremiyah, I think he’s a special player. I’ve talked about it on the field before — I think his speed, he can do some of the stuff in the backfield as a receiver. But there’s also a group of wide receivers up there that’s really good, too. So I think we’ll have some really good options up there at the 4.”
Defense has been the focus of the Borgonzi-Saleh operation in 2026. Tennessee has added 11 linebackers this offseason, including four new projected starters and a number of depth tools. Given Saleh’s defensive background and the Titans’ approach in the first few months of his tenure, it wouldn’t be surprising if Borgonzi opted for another contributor on that side of the ball instead, especially with the likelihood that one or both of the top linebackers in the class could be available when it’s Tennessee’s turn.
“You’re looking for impact players when you come up there, when you’re taking this high in the draft,” Borgonzi said, deftly avoiding committing to a position group or specific need. “Who’s going to have the biggest impact? Who’s the best player available? But certainly there’s a linebacker there that’s pretty good, too.”
For now, Borgonzi and the Titans are wisely playing courtesies. Given the ongoing unpredictability of the draft, another approach would be imprudent. It is best to keep all options open and show as little as possible.
“I think we’ll be ready for any scenario,” Borgonzi said. “If you listen to everything out there right now, it’s a lot of smokescreen. I think you have to keep an eye on it. But sure, I think we’ll have a chance there at the 4, no matter what the team does in front of us.”
