Will the Titans take Jeremiyah Love? Insider Albert Breer weighs in

The Tennessee Titans could go many different ways when the NFL draft rolls around in two weeks, and fans are trying their best to figure out exactly what they will do. Unfortunately, even this close to the draft, no one really knows what to expect. While edge, linebacker, or wide receiver make a ton of sense, there has been a lot of debate about whether the Titans should discount positional value and select Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.

And that was a question posed to NFL Insider Albert Breer in his weekly mailbag . Titans at No. 4 From ARP Reez (@Reez_Delaghetto) : Why are the Titans worried about drafting an RB at 4 when Cam Ward was the most sacked QB in the NFL?

ARP, because a running back, for the reasons we detailed in the Chiefs question above, can change the dynamic for your quarterback. Ask Jared Goff what Todd Gurley meant to him as a developing young player. Ask Dak Prescott the same about coming in with Zeke Elliott.

Out of the box, Love would be a really good outlet guy in the passing game for Ward, creating layups for the young quarterback. He’d also, presumably, put the offense in second-and-6 and third-and-2 more often—generating situations that open up the offense’s playbook and limit what a defense can do schematically to the quarterback. And in the process, both by piling unblocked yards in the run game and helping the team get into more situations where pass rushers can’t just tee off, Love would naturally make the line better.
