Titans GM Mike Borgonzi dropped a major hint about the team’s draft plan for the first pick. According to a post by Turron Devonport, this is what the Titans’ GM is thinking about.
“Titans GM Mike Borgonzi: We’re taking best player available regardless of premium position. Could this mean Jeremiyah Love? Also, Borgonzi isn’t concerned about Rueben Bain Jr.’s arm length. The team hosted Bain on a top 30 visit. But Borgonzi did say “the phone (lines) are open.”
Titans GM also said that “You can never have enough pass rushers.”
Titans is a team coming off back-to-back 3-4 finishes. They are eager for a winning season. They are also looking to get their hands on premier players. For the past two seasons, they lacked premier players.
According to ESPN, this is where the debate about whether they should take Love comes from.
According to Jordam Reid, “Love is my No. 1 prospect in this class, but I just don’t see it happening.”
“General manager Mike Borgonzi joined Tennessee after 16 seasons in Kansas City, where the Chiefs always valued premium positions early. Don’t be surprised to see another defensive player added here.”
However, Field Yates didn’t concur with this opinion.
“They absolutely could (take Love),” Yates wrote. “Love is my No. 2 prospect, and many NFL executives and scouts believe he is Tennessee’s most likely pick. With that said, what other teams think the Titans are going to do doesn’t mean much. This will come down to whether Tennessee is confident in the rest of its roster.”
Well, no matter what, the Titans will get their hands on a highly rated player. But the question remains, is Love the right guy who can change the offense of the Titans? Or will he be like Ashton Jeanty?
