The case for drafting Love is ...
In addition to being a major big-play guy, he will give offenses a lot of 2nd and 4 that would be 2nd and 7 or worse with other backs. He is a slippery and elusive guy that can also break tackles and rarely takes a loss. That is attractive to teams with young QB. And, as you mentioned, he is a very accomplished receiver. It also isn't mentioned much, but he is a really good pass protector which is also a benefit to teams with young QB. There is a very good chance the Titans take him for those reasons. There is also some smoke that someone will trade up to 3 to get him ... or that Arizona will take him at 3.
I agree with you that RB are devalued, but this kid is a special player. Significantly better than Jeanty IMHO and he went 6 overall last year.

I like the move, the weapons on O are mediocre at best.
