Rhett Lewis · Feb 25, 2026
Lewis calls Jeremiah Love the top running back in the class with teammate Jadarian Price possibly the second back drafted, sees Fernando Mendoza as the likely No. 1 overall pick, pegs Omar Cooper as a first-rounder and Elijah Surant as a Day 2 pick, and gives his own current receiver pecking order.
“To me, that's a first round pick right there.”
