Indianapolis – Everyone is here. Everyone spy. Everyone listens.
And no one knows what is real.
Congratulations, once again, to the director general of the Titans du Tennessee, Mike Borgonzi, sitting at the NFL 2025 scout combination with the n ° 1 choice of the NFL draft in April in its rear pocket.
Borgonzi remained shy on Tuesday speaking of the conversations he had in exchange for choice n ° 1. He says he “made a few calls”. Nothing more. No details on what he is looking for in return or what would encourage him to do the job or what type of packages is offered. Just these calls were presented.
But it’s early, right? The draft season is barely on us. Is it too early for the market to be well trained enough for Borgonzi to take the offers seriously?

“At this stage, the sales market at the top of the project may not have been revealed yet,” said Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry, who is in possession of choice n ° 2. “We are very early in the evaluation process.”
“It’s a little too early for that now,” added Carolina Panthers GM Dan Morgan, who has the choice n ° 8. “Certainly nobody called us for anything and I have heard of nothing.”
“The basic line begins this week,” said Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider, owner of choice n ° 18. “We meet all the agencies you can meet, then each team. Everyone is trying to get some ground. I think a lot of it becomes very serious perhaps two or three weeks (before the project).
“In the end, it’s like” we have to make a decision here, drive. “When we chose (Cornerback Devon Witherspoon fifth in the general classification) a few years ago, it was as if people were talking, but you don’t necessarily know what is real and what is not real.”
Arizona cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort, formerly the Titans“The Director of Players Staff, joked by saying that you could not trust a commercial conversation on a choice of draft up to an hour before the start of the draft. Everything is speculative. Some teams, poses Ossenfort, do not seriously consider commercial offers before being literally on the clock.
Titans, of course, are not disabled The clock. Until they trade – if They do a job – Borgonzi Titans control. This is why he and his staff spent in February getting rid of the world, evaluating Sunup’s prospects at sunset. Before this week’s harvester, Borgonzi said that the titans have a finished recovery board. It is labeled as “phase one”, and it is likely to modify pending medical information, character surveys and measurables collected during tests.
If everything goes as planned, Borgonzi says that he does not expect the board of directors to change as much between February and April.
“We are trying not to take drastic measures,” he said. “We want to be a band focused on the band and not depend on these other variables that enter.”
SO. The board is not sunk into the stone, but it is defined. Titans are still in the evaluation process, examining players such as the defensive winger Abdul Carter, the quarter-back Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, and the skill player with all-terrain Travis Hunter. The last variable is the commercial market, which is difficult to trust.
You have general directors like Darren Mougey of New York JetsWho says he is open and ready to leave choice n ° 7 to get a player he wants. Then you have GMs that say they are open to exchange. . . As Mougey did a few seconds later.
The dominant wisdom is that in a project without a quarter-back type of Joe Burrow, Caleb Williams or Trevor Lawrence at the top, the teams will be less willing to exchange for the slit n ° 1, or at least will offer smaller packages to do To do therefore.
Borgonzi does not trust this dominant wisdom.
“If someone is exchanged for a quarter, it means that there is a lot of value,” he said. “And that could also be another position. We will discover it. We will gather all this information.”
Better to return to the spy.
