Giants' Love for Love: Draft Dilemma

0:00On April 21st, the New York Giants are buzzing with rumors about grabbing Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love at Pick 5 in the 2026. NFL draft. Love is seen as the top player overall, a total playmaker, but the Giants have huge holes everywhere else, like offensive line, wide receiver, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, and safety. ESPN reporters are fueling the fire, with Jordan Ronan saying he cannot picture the Giants under John Harbaugh passing on the draft's best skill guy. Jeremy Fowler adds that folks inside the Giants building are hoping love slides to them. That said, the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans pick right before, and both are linked to him too. Fans and analysts are pushing back hard, pointing out the Giants already have solid young backs in Camp Scatabo and Tyrone Tracy. No real need there. It echoes the backlash from 2018, when Dave Gethaman took Sequan Barkley at Pick 2, ignoring bigger roster gaps, running backs just are not valued that high any more in early rounds.

1:05Look at the Las Vegas Raiders last year, drafting Aston John Tia pick 6 during a rebuild. They tank the season, and now Pete Carol is out after one year. Teams ahead might do the Giants a favor, by snatching love first, letting New York fill a real need, and dodged repeating that old mistake.
