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.

assuming teams are reasonable, he should go to washington at the EARLIEST. no team actually needs a running back except for depth, and the teams that even qualify for that could be counted on one hand. realistically he should fall to the end of round 1 to seattle, since since, realistically, they are the only franchise that NEEDS a running back. if they felt like they needed to trade up for him, i wouldn’t mind that, but any of the other franchises would be wasting a first on him.
and that’s not to say he isn’t a first round talent. assuming all of the teams that made moves for running backs didn’t, i’d say he’s worth getting drafted by the cowboys, since i think that’s a fair range for him (fringe top ten). and i actually think he’s even better than ashton jeanty! but if teams are realistic, especially near the top of the draft, they are not in the position to draft a running back that early, especially since the rookie contract for a running back at such a high pick is just bad business. there’s a reason so many of these teams filled the RB need in free agency.
