Report: Les Snead told Ty Simpson's family he's a 1st-round prospect
Les Snead tells Ty Simpson's family he's a first-round prospect for the NFL Draft
With just hours before the 2026 NFL Draft, rumors indicate the Arizona Cardinals may select running back Jeremiyah Love or trade their third pick. Teams are actively inquiring about a potential trade, heightening the stakes for the Cardinals.
The #AZCardinals will be staring at Jeremiyah Love vs. a trade back. Shades of 2023 when the #Texans came up to 3 for Will Anderson. Fascinating pivot point tonight. As for the #Titans, they feel good about a cluster of players so sliding back and still getting one is tempting.
β Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 23, 2026 The smoke on the Arizona Cardinals taking Jeremiyah Love continues to build, and the reality seems to be, if they do not get a deal they love, they will take the Notre Dame running back at three. FWIW, I believe the Arizona Cardinals will trade pick #3 tonight, regardless of the pass rusher available.
I think there's a good chance the parameters of a deal are already done.
If they end up making the pick, I believe it will be Jeremiyah Love.

If they can't trade down, the Cardinals are right now who the league thinks for Jeremiyah Love."@PSchrags on the latest with Arizona at pick #3. pic.twitter.com/8SuJZx6fvA
β PHNX Cardinals (@PHNX\_Cardinals) I'm surprised there hasn't been more steam with DJ's projected Saints trade up to No. 3
The Cardinals are rumored to either select running back Jeremiyah Love with the third pick or trade down if they receive a favorable offer.
Teams like the New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders are reportedly interested in trading up to the third pick to select Jeremiyah Love.
The Cardinals' choice to either draft Love or trade the pick could influence the draft strategy of other teams, particularly those looking to secure a top running back.

Last time he predicted a move like this the night before β Texans up to No. 3 for Stroud/Will Anderson back to back
I went to sleep last night thinking it was absolutely happening
β Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) April 23, 2026 This would probably be the best thing for the Cardinals. In DJβs mock draft he has the Cardinals going down to eight and the Saints giving up their 2027 first round pick as well. Brian Baldinger just said on NFL Network that he believes that the #Commanders will trade up for RB Jeremiyah Love π
β brandon (@JayDanielsMVP) April 23, 2026 Are the Cardinals doing a good enough job convincing people they will take Love that now teams are calling to check-in? βDo the Cardinals feel like they need to leapfrog the Jets at pick #33?β@RapSheet with the very latest on QB Ty Simpson ahead of the NFL Draft. pic.twitter.com/H3ahygOU7Q
β PHNX Cardinals (@PHNX\_Cardinals) April 23, 2026 Are the Jets and others doing a good job of making the Cardinals feel like they need to overpay for a quarterback? "There have been teams calling, trying to come up. If the Cardinals can get the right price, they would move out of three."@AdamSchefter on the #AZCardinals. π
