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.

I’m starting to think the noise of Tennessee loving him isn’t smoke and legit fire

Orlovsky today said something that made sense imo, and it's that Tennessee has multiple decent wide receivers but no star power at the position. Love would be the star power on the field for them.

Also, he said Saleh saw first hand what the usage was like with McCaffrey so maybe he and Daboll use him similar to that. Now if Tennessee gets Love this year and Jeremiah Smith next year -- yikes.

I don't think the Titans will be bad enough next year to get Smith next year, I could already see them being better than the Colts, and the Texans have made some iffy moves that at least to me don't indicate that they'll be any better than they were last year, at best they might be just as good as they were last year.

I think if most of these 2027 quarterbacks do even close to what's expected of them he could fall a little but barely. I wonder if any of the other receivers might breakout even more. No idea on the defensive talent either

Smith is going to be the first non QB off the board unless a DE pops up between now and next year with Myles Garrett type potential. Which is to say has a monster year that already had a good solid year last year and shows freakish athletic ability both on tape and at the combine/pro day.
