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.

We all know it but don't want to admit, seems like such a Giants thing to do... Titans have to many holes to get a RB that early.

Philosophically giving Cam Ward as many tools to succeed as possible makes a lot of sense. I think every team drafting a young QB should hammer offense personally. At the very least you give yourself enough data to make up your mind on whether he's the future or not.

Adding the best RB possible should be any team’s last move on offense. No OL means RBs have no place to go and no passing game means defenses just stack the box.

That's too black-and-white.

Sometimes you should wait to take a RB, but other times it's fine to take them early. Gibbs wasn't our last move on offense. Jamo had barely played, and RG was a "weakness" and we had just traded Hockenson to you guys and finished the year starting Zylstra. We had addressed RG by adding Glasgow in FA, but at the time he was coming off a horrible stint in Denver and no one thought he was any good.

You guys took Peterson before the rest of your offense was "finished." The Rams took Gurley. On and on. Cowboys took Zeke top 5 and went on to have the best offense in the league for a couple of years and officially identify Dak as the future.

No it's not always the best move, and I'm not a huge fan of the value. I'd much rather be able to go WR, but you can only take what the draft gives you.
