It is a possibility the New York Giants, who pick No. 3, are going to have to monitor
Could the Tennessee Titans, who own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, throw the draft into disarray by passing on a quarterback? That is a possibility the quarterback-needy New York Giants will have to pay attention over the next three months.
The Titans recently hired Mike Borgonzi to replace Ran Carthon as general manager. During a Wednesday conference, Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker said the team “won’t pass on a generational talent” with the first overall pick.
Does anyone consider Cam Ward of Miami or Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, the top quarterbacks in what is considered a weak quarterback class, to be generational players? Probably not.
The one player perhaps considered a generational talent is Colorado’s two-way star Travis Hunter, who won the Heisman Trophy while playing full time at both cornerback and wide receiver.
Borgonzi said the Titans are “early in those discussions” about what they will do the first overall pick.
Would the pick be for sale if the Titans are not interested in a quarterback? Maybe.
“That’s always the goal: to get as many picks in the top 100 as you can,” Borgonzi said. “I’m coming into this with an open mind. We’re going to evaluate every situation to make the best decision with that pick.”
Figuring out what the Titans and Cleveland Browns, the two teams picking in front of the Giants, want to do is a major part of the calculus of the next few months for Giants GM Joe Schoen.
In a year where many teams need quarterbacks but there are few QBs who excite draft analysts it is going to be fascinating to watch.
