Mel Kiper Mocks Love to Giants at 5

0:00On April 2nd, Mel Kiber Jr. just dropped his latest mod draft for the 2026 NFL draft, and he's got the New York Giants grabbing. Noter Dame running back, Jeremiah Love, with the number 5 overall pick. That's a bold call from the ESPN draft guru, who's famous for avoiding early running backs. Kiber admits it's out of character for him, but he says love is no ordinary back. This guy is a dynamic playmaker who could supercharge the Giants offense and lift up quarterback Jackson Dart to New Heights. Giants fans know the team just drafted Cam Scottable last year, but there's real doubt about his durability and whether he can handle a full workhorse. Roll without breaking down. Love stands out as a dual threat back, who stays on the field for every down, bringing explosion that trumps typical running back value in drafts. If the Tennessee Titans pass on him in the top four, New York has to pounce. Kiber's projection has folks buzzing about how this could reshape the Giants backfield
