Ravens Mock Draft: Love at 14?

0:00It's March 21st, here's your NFL news in two minutes. As the 2026 NFL draft approaches, the Baltimore Ravens face clear needs at Ed Drescher, defensive tackle, wide receiver, center, and guard. But in the recent Mont Draft from the Athletic, their beat reporter shocked fans by projecting the team to grab Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love. At the 14th overall pick, going best player available over positional need, Love stands out as one of the top talents in this class, with explosive speed and big playability. Last season he rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, earning all American honors and a third place finish in Heisman Voting. This year he's already at ties in 125 yards and 17 scores. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the idea, drawing parallels to the Raven's smart move in 2022 when they snagged safety Kyle Hamilton. At 14th, after he surprisingly fell. With 32-year-old Derek Henry still leading the backfield but no clear heir apparent, Love

Still, if Love slides that far due to running back value, passing on him might be a mistake few teams could afford. Drash strategies like best player available versus filling needs will keep sparking debate as the Ravens build for the future.
