Rich Eisen · Mar 2, 2026

After watching Jeremiah Love work out at the combine, Eisen believes the Notre Dame running back is now a top-five pick and will not last until the Chiefs at No. 9. He also expects two running backs, including Notre Dame's Jadarian Price, to go in the first round, and thinks Woody Marks will be Houston's lead back in year two with David Montgomery in the complementary role.

I don't think Jeremiah Love even gets out of the top five now.

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Jeremiyah Love to be picked “top five” (picks 1–5)

    I don't think Jeremiah Love even gets out of the top five now.

  • Jadarian Price to be picked “first round” (picks 1–32)

    And not one, but two running backs going in the first round, and they could be teammates as well. Jadarian Price, he was a really good looking running back I saw working out over the weekend with Jeremiah Love as well.

  • Woody Marks to be 1st on the depth chart

    Now, Marks comes to the fore, you think in year two, he's he's the guy, but in the Nick Chubb role, David Montgomery, that's an upgrade.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
