A running back? Yes, we\u2019re gonna talk about running backs, especially ones as talented as Jeremiyah Love. The star running back out of Notre Dame made a name for himself in the Irish\u2019s run (literally) to the national championship game last year. Even with the weight of expectations this year, and the disappointing 0-2 start, Love continues to produce.<\/p>\n
The 6-0 214 lbs junior has carried the rock 154 times for 988 yards and 13 TD\u2019s. He also has 24 receptions for 254 yards and three more scores.Love is not Ashton Jeanty, but his balance of power and home run hitting ability is the best in the country. I wouldn\u2019t take Love with a top ten pick, but with a team expecting to pick in the 25-32 range, he could be good value and a potential final piece to a contender.<\/p>\n
But why should Seattle consider Love? I think this season has shown that, while both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet have shown flashes, they both haven\u2019t exactly unlocked the potential of this wide zone scheme. Does Seattle want to pay either of these backs over the next two seasons, when a shot at Love being available in the draft?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d lean towards taking the best player available and keeping financial flexibility.<\/p>\n

On the year, he has 6.5 sacks, with 9.5 tackles for a loss. This is coming off a 2024 season in which he tallied 9 sacks.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard not to look at Thomas, especially as a Sooner, and not see the Nic Bonitto comparisons. That\u2019d obviously be the dream for anyone drafting Thomas, but I think the expectation is that he can come in and become a valuable 3rd down sack artist, like what Bruce Irvin was early in his career. He\u2019s never gonna be a three-down edge player, but he fits a need and has the talent to be a double-digit sack guy.<\/p>\n Elijah Sarratt, Wide receiver, Indiana<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
