Cardinals Draft Love, Risking Rebuild

0:00On April 24th, the Arizona Cardinals just snagged running back Jeremiah Love with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. This comes after their brutal 3 and 14 season, landing them prime position, while former Rams' offensive coordinator, Mike LaFleur, takes over. As their new head coach, LaFleur's all about that power run game, smashing through defenses, and Love looks like a perfect piece for it. But word is, the Cardinals were shopping that pick hard, hoping the trade back for more assets. No solid deals came through, so they pulled the trigger. Fans and analysts are split on this move. The cards have massive holes at quarterback, offensive line, edge rusher, linebacker, and defensive line, with just seven picks to fill them. Adding a back this early feels risky when the line can't even block yet. Love's got star potential no doubt, but his success hinges on better protection up front. Without it, he could get banged up quick and struggled to shine in year one. Rams fans, you'll see him twice a year starting now, but the real test comes later as Arizona builds around that run game.
