Well, the Arizona Cardinals did it.

I don’t think there is a question by anyone that Jeremiyah Love is one of the best talents in the 2026, it just seems like a weird use of assets to get another running back on the roster with so many holes everywhere else, but by the end, FanDuel Sportsbook had Love and David Bailey both at +135 odds to be picked, so it seems well known at this pioint.

Nonetheless, how would you grade the pick of Jeremiyah Love by the Arizona Cardinals?

For me, this dude has the chance to be a game changer. He is electric in both the run game and pass game, can be a 250+ touch a year guy and be a consistent 1400+ yards from scrimmage type.

My comp for Love may not make fans thrilled, but I see a guy who has some similarities to Breece Hall, who has been good on a bad New York Jets team for the last four years.

I am excited about the player and really hope the Cardinals can help him get to his highend potential.

Welcome to the desert Jeremiyah Love.
