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.

Pretty interesting draft when you take a dive into it.**
Coach McGuirk 04/20/26 11:25 AM ET
I heard they were interested but would have to trade up to get him.

Agree. I don't like trading up when you need help everywhere. That's for
