Jeremiyah Love in Play for Cardinals at Third Overall

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to be one of the first names off the board in this week's NFL Draft, and some around league circles believe that could be as early as third overall to the Arizona Cardinals. According to NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Cardinals have made exploratory calls to move back and acquire additional picks, but if they are unable to find a trade partner, there is a growing belief that the selection could be Love. Even in what would then be a crowded backfield, Love would still be worthy of the first overall pick in dynasty rookie drafts of all formats, including superflex leagues. He split the Notre Dame backfield with Jadarian Price, a player many are calling the second-best running back in the class. In their three seasons together, Love nearly doubled Price's career yardage total, an indicator of how far ahead of the class he truly is. His 40 touchdowns across his past two seasons as a starter paced the FBS, and he has the speed and physicality to win in multiple ways. He catches the ball cleanly and gets upfield with no wasted motion. Love should make an immediate fantasy impact regardless of landing spot, and he is currently RotoBaller's overall RB4 in dynasty rankings.
