Cardinals Draft Love, Sparking Offense Debate

0:00It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The airs on a Cardinals' hill firm on their third overall pick and win big for offense by drafting Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love. It's a splashy choice to ignite their attack right away. No running back has gone that high since Sequan Barkley landed second overall with the Giants back in 2018. Love dominated college, rushing for two at 72 yards at 6.9 yards per carry, with just 199 attempts and 18 touchdowns. Fans are buzzing with excitement, craving that spark after lean years, but plenty question the fit. The cards already return James Conner, Tray Benson, and Bam Knight, plus they inked Tyler Algear to a two-year deal worth $12.25 million. Meanwhile, they passed on edge rushers like Ohio State's Arville Reese and ignored needs at defensive front and right tackle.
