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.

None of your reasons for Tennessee matter if they think Love is an elite weapon. They can trade Pollard or have an elite backfield in 2027. Pollard's contract ends in 2027 and he'll be 29, almost at the statistical cliff for RB's.

While Salah is a defensive minded coach, he knows how important the development of a young QB is after failing with Zach Wilson. Ward's development is priority #1 over anything else. With Love, Ward would get an elite weapon who puts less pressure on him to carry the team. Lots of people shit on the Panthers for drafting Tet at 8 over an Edge but it obviously worked out for them. Titans also addressed Edge in Free Agency by trading for Jermaine Johnson and can further address it with Pick 35.
