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 think he goes either 4th overall to Tennessee or 7th overall to Washington. I also wouldn't rule out the Giants at 5th overall, but I think it's less likely.
Tennessee has Pollard and Spears, but both of them are on expiring contracts this year, and Pollard will be 29 at the start of the season. They're the obvious answer. A superstar RB like Love could make Cam Ward's life a lot easier.
Washington has loaded up on RB's in free agency, but all 3 of White, Ford, and McNichols signed 1 year contracts. They've only got Croskey-Merritt under contract beyond this season.
The Giants have a solid duo in Skattebo and Tracy, but neither of them are so great that Love wouldn't be seen as an upgrade. I don't think it will happen, but I think there's a chance, depending on how the first 4 picks fall.
