Overview
- ESPN reported Saturday that multiple league and Giants sources expect Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love to be selected before New York is on the clock at No. 5.
- John Harbaugh praised Love as a very high‑end talent, and GM Joe Schoen called him an offensive weapon while saying the team will take the best player available.
- Recent projections place Love in the 3–5 range, with several mocks sending him to the Titans at No. 4 and some chatter linking him to the Cardinals at No. 3.
- If Love goes fourth, his slotted four‑year $48.7 million rookie deal would top current running back contracts, illustrating how top draft slots can outpay veterans at that position.
- Love’s valuation stems from elite production and versatility, including 1,372 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns in 12 games last season and receiving skills that fit a three‑down role.
