The Titans are a team that needs more overall talent as they look to build up their roster around last year’s first overall pick, quarterback Cam Ward, and have recently hired the defense-minded Robert Saleh as their head coach heading into next season.

Before breaking down my pick and why I made it, as well as counterpoints to some potential disagreements, I don’t believe the Titans will draft Jeremiyah Love at #4, but I do think it could be a massive mistake on their part, and I will detail why. With that being said, let’s start by talking about the player and prospect that is Jeremiyah Love! Why Jeremiyah Love?

When I was put on the clock for pick #4, I took a long, hard look at the top-rated players and how they would fit with the Titans. After thinking a lot about the pick and delving into all of the players, their skill sets and their blemishes, I decided to make what I believe would be a smart move for this team and chose to pick the player that many consider the best overall in this class. Jeremiyah Love is a RB from Notre Dame, declaring for the draft as a Junior; he stands in at 6’0” and around 214lbs and he has proven in the collegiate ranks why he deserves to be a top draft pick.

A unanimous All-American last season who also won the Doak Walker Award, Jeremiyah has rushed for 2,497 yards and 35 touchdowns over the past two seasons, while producing 6. 9 yards per carry, as well as 55 receptions for 517 yards and 5 touchdowns. He shows great breakaway speed and is a home-run threat every time he touches the football.
