The NFL Draft has arrived. No more conjecture or hypothetical. Five months of preparations and the biggest job interview in the world will now become real.
Viewers have become accustomed to certain similarities. The best quarterbacks, edge rushers, offensive linemen and cornerbacks are towards the top, while running backs, safeties and linebackers are less prioritized at the top. In 2026, they throw out almost all the positional tendencies and trends.
The 2026 Draft is loaded with running back talent. While the crop is deep, there is one name far ahead of the others. Expect Jeremiyah Love to go early. The second running back off the board might not be until Day 2.
Like many positions in this draft, a running back will not over-saturated the first round. However, there is value to be had throughout the three days of the draft.
