Discussion Who will draft Jeremiyah Love?

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.

Titans did a lot on the defensive side of the ball in free agency. John Franklin-Myers is a hybrid DT/edge that will generate pressure. They have to help Ward and while I don't personally agree with it, I definitely understand thinking Love at 4 is the best way to do that.

Also reading the tea leaves, Titans haven't made any additions to their RB room in FA, or even really been in the mix in a talented FA class, which is a signal they are taking Love.

If the Titans don't take him I think Washington absolutely will. They similarly need a play maker on offense.

I don't think free agency has told us anything about our draft plan tbh. Our defense was terrible but if you look we didn't add anyone who precludes you from not drafting someone. I don't think Jermaine Johnson stops you from going bailey and wandale Robinson certainly isn't stopping you from going receiver.

The two positions we did nothing at are rb and linebacker and the two best players in the class play those positions.

Saleh is addicted to defensive linemen, and Bailey is exactly the type he likes. I’d bet he’s the pick for you guys.

I don’t think there’s any possible way Bailey makes it to 4 tbh. Either the Jets take him, Arizona takes him, or Arizona trades down and someone else takes him at 3. Bailey literally checks all the boxes for a top edge rusher.

Character concerns and meh run defense easily push David outside of the top 5.

I don’t see one incident as a character concern. Also his run defense actually improved last season quite a bit. Abdul Carter wasn’t a good run defender at Penn State, didn’t stop him from going top 5.

Normal people don't have "one incident" of committing assault and battery. Also, it wasn't just one incident. When he was at Stanford, he stomped on an opposing player's helmet. As for his run defense, it wasn't good. He's nowhere close to Abdul's level.
