NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has a bold idea for the Los Angeles Rams in the second half of the 2026 off season.

The former NFL scout posted a wild idea on X this past week that theorized the Rams could trade up to draft Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love in April and trade for Philadelphia Eagles A.J. Brown in June. While this strategy seemed hyperbolic and improbable, Jeremiah explained on “The Rich Eisen Show” why the Rams should still try to pull off adding both Love and Brown.

“What if there’s a world in which you can move up in this draft to go take Jeremiyah Love to put in your backfield as your finishing piece to give you somebody that’s as talented as Todd Gurley, what they had early on in the [Sean] McVay years there. To be that little piece there. And oh, by the way, if you could pull that off without trading next year’s [first-round pick], which you’d have to, you know, get creative, but I think there’s a way you could you could do that,” Jeremiah said. “And then you still have the A.J. Brown thing kicking out there in June for next year’s [first-round pick]. And so you have a Rams offense with as good as they were last year and all of a sudden you look up and you’ve got Jeremiyah Love in the backfield and you’ve got AJ Brown out there with Puka Nacua. I mean, goodness gracious. And Davante Adams. That’s an all-in, push all of your chips into the middle of the table for this year.”

This plan seems almost too crazy to ever work. For one, the Rams appear to be out of the Brown trade sweepstakes after being “scared off” by the veteran receiver’s medicals. Additionally, it would likely take a lot to move up in the range to draft Love, who could go as high as No. 4 in the draft. The Rams have the No. 13 pick, but would need to add a lot of draft capital to move up far enough to draft Love.

Finally, adding Love and Brown would create a logjam of skill position players. There is sometimes too much of a good thing, and trying to find ways to get Nacua, Adams, Brown, Love and running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum all involved might be too tall a task for head coach Sean McVay.

In the conversation of Williams and Corum, who were two of the most efficient running backs in the league this past year, Jeremiah explained that neither is a “needle mover” like Love would be. Jeremiah added that Love “in the neighborhood” of Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson in terms of prospect potential.

This wouldn’t just be an all-in move for L.A., though. Adding Brown and Love and potentially moving on from Williams and/or Corum would completely alter the identity of this team that was within moments of making the Super Bowl this past year. Adding those two playmakers would be sensational and truly an all-in move, but this one might be overkill as well.
