Why Mel Kiper believes Tennessee Titans will pick Jeremiyah Love in NFL draft at No. 4
NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. believes running back Jeremiyah Love's versatility makes him a candidate for the Tennessee Titans with the No. 4 pick.
The Tennessee Titans have a laundry list of roster needs this offseason, including edge rusher, wide receiver and interior offensive line. But ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. thinks they may not look to fill any of those holes with the No.
4 pick. In his latest mock draft released March 17, Kiper has the Titans taking Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft . While no running back has gone among the top four picks since Saquon Barkley in 2018, Kiper thinks Love is worthy of being drafted that high due to his versatility.
"I understand not taking a running back," Kiper said on a conference call with reporters on March 19. "I argued against that for 30 years, and now I'm kind of defending these running backs, only because (Love) is so versatile. If he was just a running back, we wouldn't be saying that.
Because he's so versatile and you can do so many things creatively with him. "He's the second-best player on my board. A lot of people think he's the best player in this draft.
