Tennessee Titans NFL Draft Profile
How the Titans draft: the front office running the board, the needs shaping the next class, and every draft class we cover.
Front office and philosophy
General manager: Mike Borgonzi · Head coach: Robert Saleh
Defense-first overhaul built on an elite pass-rush and suffocating coverage. Saleh's Cover-3/Tampa-2 hybrid scheme demands versatile linebackers and athletic safeties. Borgonzi pairs solid cap management with Saleh's defensive obsession.
Robert Saleh built his reputation on elite EDGE production in San Francisco (Nick Bosa era) and carried that defensive-first philosophy to New York and now Tennessee. His teams run heavy four-man fronts demanding explosive EDGE rushers and stout DTs. Borgonzi provides organizational stability while Saleh shapes the defensive roster.
These tendencies are encoded directly into the simulator: when you run a mock and the Titans are on the clock, the engine applies this regime's positional biases and its balance between best-player-available and need-based drafting. See how the simulator works for the full methodology.
