Draft analyst: Commanders won't have chance to draft RB Jeremiyah Love

What will the Commanders do? Jeremiyah Love will probably be gone, says one analyst.

In less than one week, the Washington Commanders will be on the clock. Thor Nystrom of Skor North was talking about next week's 2026 NFL Draft and the Commanders as a guest on the BMitch & Finlay Show on 106. 7 The Fan on Thursday.

Nystrom doesn't see much variety when talking about the first two selections next Thursday. He said the Raiders will draft Fernando Mendoza and that he (Nystrom) has been mocking David Bailey (Texas Tech) all along to the New York Jets at No. 2.

Would Nystrom draft a running back as early as No. 4-8? "There are so few of the blue-chip guys there at the top that would demand that you go with the more valuable position.

" However, with a dearth of those guys there this year, Nystrom said he can see drafting Jeremiyah Love earlier than normal. "That's how you see guys like Jeremiyah Love and Caleb Downs get moved up into that echelon we are talking about, top five or top seven. " What are the odds then, Jeremiyah Love, the Notre Dame running back, makes it to the Commanders at No.
