Jeremiyah Love: Draft Risk or Trade Bait?

0:00On April 6th, Jeremiah Love lit up Notre Dame over three years, rushing for 2,882 yards on 433, carries at 6.7 yards per pop, with 36 touchdowns on the ground, and 6 more receiving. Dudes electric with the ball, always sniffing out the in zone. But history ain't kind to top 10 drafted running backs. Since 1990, just two won a Super Bowl with a team that picked him high. Jamal Lewis with the Ravens right after his 5th overall. Selection in 2000, and Reggie Bush with the Saints in 2010. Though he wasn't even their top rusher that year, others like Jerome Betis, Sequan Barkley, Marshall Falk, and Leonard Fornet all hoisted the Lombardi with different squads, not the ones that bet. Big early on them. That track record screams risk for any team dropping a top 6 pick on the back. For the Browns sitting at number 6, Love's a stud no doubt, but he's better as trade bait if he slides, teams would cough up assets to grab him.

1:00Cleveland ain't stacked like contenders who can afford best player available. They got to pluck holes elsewhere. Bottom line. Pass on Love. Unless a deal sweetens the pot, or it could turn into a bust waiting to happen in this loaded draft. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
