"Bucky Brooks of NFL.com believes Love is the best player in the draft and that somebody will be willing to take the risk on him in the first five picks. That leaves the Commanders out."
"An elite running back isn't going to have the same impact on their squad's success as an elite quarterback, wide receiver, or pass-rusher, and they tend to age fast."
"Most of the time, teams can find similar value on running backs late in the draft as they can on the first two days, particularly when multiple players are available."
The Washington Commanders face uncertainty regarding their No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. There is a strong consensus against selecting running back Jeremiyah Love due to historical trends showing low success rates for first-round rushers. NFL Draft insider Bucky Brooks predicts Love will be selected within the top five picks, potentially leaving the Commanders without the option. While Love possesses impressive skills, elite running backs typically do not impact team success as significantly as other positions, and teams often find comparable talent later in the draft.
