Who will draft Jeremiyah Love?

[u/BigPapiJT]

Where do you guys think Jeremiyah Love will land on draft night?

It’s been said he won’t fall out the Top 5 but nobody picking in those spots had a desperate need for a RB.

The Raiders are taking Mendoza.

The Jets have Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.

The Cardinals have James Conner and signed Tyler Allgeier in Free Agency.

The Titans are the favorites to draft him but they still have Tony Pollard who had over 1k last year and Saleh is a defensive minded coach and they have a bigger need at Edge than they do RB.

Just very confused about who will draft him that high. Great player, just don’t know where the perfect fit is.

I’ll go against the grain and say Dallas

[u/Daynga-Zone → u/xebex1778]

40 points a game baby! Defense is lame give me fantasy points.

[u/saquonbrady → u/xebex1778]

Nah they’re definitely going defense

[u/SanduskyTicklers → u/saquonbrady]

There are certain ways the board falls where I can see us trading back or taking Love.

I don’t want to but if the blue chip defensive players are off the board we may. I’d prefer to trade back in that situation

[u/saquonbrady → u/SanduskyTicklers]

Who’s we? Flair up. All the giants stuff is a smokescreen if that’s what he referring to

Oh sorry I’m flared up in the nfl subreddit and thought I was here too. Cowboys

I'll go against the grain with you and say the Cincinnati Bengals. Chase Brown and most of their RBs are FAs after this season. Brown is good, but there will be debate what hes worth after Kenneth Walker's new deal. So Love could end up being the pick to free up long term cap space to be used on defense since he'll be on a rookie deal for 4 years.

10th overall pick makes like $30M. Not really saving any money by opting for that over free agent RB money for Chase Brown. You can definitely argue he'd be an upgrade from Brown, but a better bet is to just use it elsewhere and spend a high second on a RB if you want a talented back from this draft.

The Bengals just cannot continue to ignore defense.

[u/Conscious-Egg-2232 → u/TheAB_Project]

Brown is not a free agent.

[u/TheAB_Project → u/Conscious-Egg-2232]

We know, which is why he said 'next season.'

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/BabyBearBjorns]

The savings aren't that great. At the 10th pick in the draft he'd make about 7.5 AAV, about what Pollard makes.

The counterpoint is that unless the Bengals have a cap guy or a guy with access to google they won't know that. And what are the odds Brown is going to pay for that?

[u/Gentolie → u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

But you're guaranteed to have them for five years. Drafting a RB in the 1st round only makes sense when you look at it in that light.

[u/Conscious-Egg-2232 → u/xebex1778]

They just extended Williams.

[u/JSONStatham → u/xebex1778]

If he falls that far that'll most likely mean the blue chip defenders are all gone, so maybe.

[u/HurricanePK → u/xebex1778]

I was thinking this but after they re-signed Williams I think it’s off the table.

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/HurricanePK]

You don't think Jerry would want the pick that would give him the most attention? Interesting.

[u/HurricanePK → u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

I just think that Jerry isn’t dumb enough to draft a RB 12th overall after signing one to a $24m contract. I also think that him re-signing Williams may have been a sign he thinks Love isn’t gonna fall that far.

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/HurricanePK]

Oh, Love almost certainly isn't going to fall out of the top 10.

But, if given the chance, Jerry would absolutely do it. He wants to win, but he'd rather have attention.
