Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi is keeping the preferences of head coach Robert Saleh in mind as he and the front office prepare for the 2026 NFL draft.
Borgonzi said at his pre-draft press conference on Thursday that he will consider which prospects will work best with Coach Saleh when making draft selections.
“You never take a player the coach doesn't want,” he said. “You need buy-in when it comes to players. You don't force a player onto a coach. If you can't come to an agreement on the player, it's not good for the player, it's not good for the coach, and it's not good for the team.”
Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, and Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. are the prospects most frequently forecasted to land with the Titans at No. 4 overall in the draft.
The Titans’ greatest needs this offseason are at inside linebacker, defensive end, and wide receiver. However, Borgonzi indicated that Tennessee will prioritize the prospect most compatible with the team and its coaching staff rather than simply selecting the best player available. In the first round, that could mean taking Love.
