ESPN draft analysts debate Titans taking Jeremiyah Love fourth overall
· Yahoo Sports
As the NFL draft draws closer, one of the biggest debates that has come up in recent weeks is whether or not the Tennessee Titans will pull the trigger and select Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
While some NFL Insiders, like Adam Schefter, have thrown cold water on that idea, other scouts and insiders see it differently. Friday, while recapping the latest draft buzz, ESPN’s Matt Miller, Jordan Reid, and Field Yates dissected the topic, and to no surprise, they all had different opinions.

Could the Titans really take Jeremiyah Love at No. 4?
Reid: Love is my No. 1 prospect in this class, but I just don't see it happening. General manager Mike Borgonzi joined Tennessee after 16 seasons in Kansas City, where the Chiefs always valued premium positions early. Don't be surprised to see another defensive player added here for new coach Robert Saleh.
Yates: They absolutely could. Tennessee's busy offseason has opened the board up, as it added all over its defense and signed wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year deal. Love is my No. 2 prospect, and many NFL executives and scouts believe he is Tennessee's most likely pick. With that said, what other teams think the Titans are going to do doesn't mean much. This will come down to whether Tennessee is confident in the rest of its roster.
Miller: Yes, they could and should take Love at No. 4. The Titans were aggressive enough in free agency to enter the draft without a must-pick position here. Love is the type of transcendent prospect who the Titans can build their offense around, giving quarterback Cam Ward a viable threat in the run and pass game. And from what I've heard, if Love falls past Tennessee, the Giants will likely take him at No. 5.
The idea of the Titans taking Love is not far-fetched. Yes, general manager Mike Borgoni came from Kansas City and does bring some of that philosophy to the organization. But even Borgonzi has talked about the importance of a “generational talent,” and if that is how they view Love, there is no way they can pass him up if he is available.
