Whether or not the Los Angeles Rams could trade up for running back Jeremiyah Love rests entirely in the hands of a division rival. If the Cardinals want Love, then he’s going to be drafted by Arizona at three. And if another team wants to trade up to three for Love, a spot that the Cardinals would reportedly love to get out of, then Arizona can make sure he doesn’t go to L.A..

Forecasting markets had a surge for Love being the pick by the Cardinals as of Thursday morning with the first round less than six hours away.

Will Love make the Cardinals better?

Many Rams fans would like to see Les Snead trade up for either Love or Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson. Those appear to be the two prospects desired by most fans if the Rams trade up, but maybe receiver Carnell Tate or linebacker Sonny Stylez or safety Caleb Downs would be just as appealing to others.

However, Love is the name heard the most often. If the Rams trade up, it seems that the most popular prospect to do that for is Love, a running back considered by some to be the best football player in the entire class.

Even though the Rams have and , many fans believe that Love’s ceiling and skillset is so far above those two that he could give the best run game support that he’s ever had. Possibly something important as he approaches 40.
