So far this season, the Titans’ rookies have been more productive than the veterans

This really highlights just how much Borgonzi crushed it with this draft class and also how crappy of a job the previous regimes were at drafting and signing free agents.
It’s a good start to Borgonzi’s tenure. But there is just so much to fix. And the free agency class needs to be better this year to support the youngsters we continue to bring in.
We have some really exciting young talent. The operative word being YOUNG. And we’ll have even more young talent starting after the next draft. There are going to be a lot of growing pains, but I think we might finally be starting to see the framework of a new team starting to form. In a true rebuild, these guys have the opportunity to grow together and hopefully create something new and exciting for themselves and for the franchise. We’ve needed a new identity as a team for a few years.
Change that title to scoring. Making a TD doesn’t actually equal production.
Winston and Harris looked good today too. Hot start for Borganzi. While a GM *should* have good picks their first year since they’re bound to be high ones, Borganzi also hit on three straight fourth rounds and will have high picks again this coming year, and probably more of them since we’ll likely trade down and accumulate more draft capital. Another class like this and a good FA with our war chest could really change this roster’s trajectory.
Not to take away from the rookies, but our veterans are bad.
Crazy to me that Dike is half of all rookie TD’s and over 1/4 of all TD’s on the team!
Have we really only scored 15 touchdowns
Jonathan Taylor got more touchdowns than us 😭
This rookie class will be fantastic leaders for the new picks next year. Can see the culture forming together, slowly but surely
Bergonzi reminds me of a little of AJ Smith, former general manager of the San Diego Chargers between 2004 and 2012. Smith, like Borgonzi, drafted well, drafting high character/leader types for the Chargers. I think he was director of player personnel when they drafted LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees in the same draft. Then he swung the Eli Manning trade for Philip Rivers, Igor Olshanski, Shawne Merriman, and quite a few other foundational pieces to the chargers. Hopefully unlike Borgonzi, however, Smith got rid of Marty Schottenheimer and hired Norv Turner, a terrible head coach who eventually screwed up and lost his job after a few years. Leading to another bad head coach choice, Mike McCoy. The Chargers put together winning teams, but they always had crappy coaching.
I say all this to remind people that the head coach choice this January is going to be vital to this teams future.
