NFL Scout Believes Cardinals Messed Up Jeremiyah Love Pick

“And you wait and see, bud. I’m telling you: Price is going to be a better player than Love. I think he’s Nick Chubb, who we took in Cleveland and who was really, really good until he blew his knee out," he said.

Price was made the No. 32 pick by the Seattle Seahawks, and the two Notre Dame runners will see each other twice a year now as NFC West division rivals.

"I’ll get to play against (Seahawks RB) Jadarian Price this upcoming season. He’s a great player and I can’t wait to do the jersey swap with him too," Love said at his introductory press conference.

"I’m just excited to compete with great players and that’s really what this is all about.”

Did Cardinals Really Mess Up Jeremiyah Love Pick?

Love was highly regarded as one of the best overall players in this class, position be damned.

However, positional value of the running back spot has been decimated over recent NFL seasons. Many would believe using that pick at more premium spots such as edge rusher or offensive tackle would have been a better use of investments.

Yet the Cardinals wanted playmakers in their offense, and Love was undoubtedly their guy when Arizona finally came on the clock. There's hope he will be far more than just a RB1.

Given where the Cardinals drafted him, they certainly have to be right.

As far as the comparisons go to his teammate, Price himself held a very good draft profile — though Love was simply in a different level from most players in this class, let alone guys who wore the same helmets.

Price should have a solid NFL career, though if both live up to their potential, Love should be a dynamic game changer in the desert for years to come.
