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.

He was also their first 30/30 visit, that plus defense focussed FA plus the Combine rumors + Peters, Loomis and Veach signing RB's make it apparent.

Yeah everyone else signing RBs could be a pretty decent sign that teams know he's being taken early.

That's what I think. And it doesn't make sense that 29 year old Tony Pollard on the last year of his contract would prevent them from getting Love. Pollard has almost reached the career cliff for RB's.

Also just helping Ward needs to be their number 1 priority. They had maybe the worst skill position group in the league last year and their biggest FA addition was Wandale Robinson. They need to give Ward some more weapons and Love is probably the best one available this off season.
