Derek Brown · May 3, 2026
Brown pegs Jeremiah Love as RB12 and a top-15 back, expects James Conner to be traded before Week 1, sees the Seahawks rookie Price as a low-end RB2, and makes several depth-chart calls (Mike Washington as Raiders RB2, Cousins starting Week 1, Cole Payton as Eagles QB2 in 2027, K'Tron Allen as Washington's starter, Seth McGowan as Colts' backup).
“But based on the talent, he's different... he's gonna be a top fifteen back, probably just volume and talent.”
