Cardinals' Surprise Pick: Love or Trade?

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the story. As the NFL draft nears, all eyes are on the Arizona Cardinals and their third overall pick, with rumors swirling about whether they'll trade down or grab a star like an ed rusher or right tackle. But the real buzz is around Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love as a surprise option. Love lit up the combine this offseason, shooting up draft boards and landing in some mocks right at number 3 for Arizona. ESPN's Peter Schreger called him a wild card to watch in the desert, while draft guru Todd McShay, here's internal chatter pushing for the cars to take. Him. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads because Arizona's backfield is stacked. They just sign Tyler Algier to a multi-year deal, restructure James Conner for another year, and have young guns like Tray Benson and Bam Knight. Ready to roll. That makes drafting a fifth tail back, at such a high spot feel off base, especially with premium knees at edge and right tackle still open.

1:02Love has a leap potential to be one of the league's top runners under coach Michael Floor, but the roster moves screen caution. For now, this chatter keeps the third pick unpredictable. Could be a bold swing or a head scratcher, so stay tuned as the Cardinals sort there. Cornerstone plans.
