Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft 1.0

DJ passed on Bain, Downs, and Tate to pick Love. He doesn't have Carnell Tate going until 16, which is the lowest I've seen him projected.

8. New Orleans Saints - Jeremiyah Love RB
I love -- no pun intended -- the idea of pairing Tyler Shough with the most electric playmaker in the draft.

When's the last time a team drafted a RB in the first round and won a Super Bowl with him on the roster?
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (2020 Pick 1.32)
Jamal Lewis (2000 Pick 1.5)

Kansas City with Clyde Edwards-Helaire?

KC won 2 with CEH
It's also a really small sample size since the league has moved away from drafting a ton of RBs in the 1st round.
Edit: I'll point out the Suntiger and I both responded with CEH before your edit posted

Walker from Seattle is going to a FA. KC wants him bad.

Going back as far as 2008, Chiefs with CEH at pick 32 in 2023 (not active in their 2024 run), but they definitely didn't win because of him (probably in spite of him; in the playoffs he played when they won he had 11 carries for 53 yards and 4 catches for 7 yards and no TDs).
No other teams have won drafting a HB in the 1st in that time frame. I'll have to dig to see further back.
Edit:
Lewis I would say yeah that one worked out, but they also had one of the best defenses of all time.

RBs taked in the 1st since CEH:
2021: Najee with Pit
2021: Etienne with Jax
2023: Bijan with Atl
2023: Gibbs with Det
2025: Jeanty with LV
2025: Hampton with LAC
The sample size from 2020 is 6.
Here's another funny and unrelated stat about RBs taken in the 1st. Since CEH taken at the end of the 1st in 2020, there have been 6 RBs taken in the first over the next 5 years. 5 of those 6 teams have had new HCs since taking that RB

My point exactly. It was also a huge reach to pick him in the first.
Do not draft a RB in the first round. Ever.

quote:Going through, it isn't that small of a sample size (and also as I noted CEH was inactive in 2024 and did very little in 2023). 31 backs taken in the 1st between 2008 and 2025, and the 1 team that won with a 1st round back did it in spite of him.

I have no clue if Love is that, but at 8 it's a HUGE gamble, and the cap value is not there.

That's roughly 5% of the drafted players, I'd say that's a pretty small sample size

The poster did not ask about amount of contribution, just about teams that drafted a RB and won with them on the roster

I’m not taking a RB in the 1st and especially not over Bain and Downs

quote:First of all - Reggie frickING Bush!! Secondly, winning a Superbowl is a pretty strict and specific criteria. Plenty of teams have had dramatic improvement/success after drafting a RB in the 1st round - Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs immediately comes to mind.

Downvote…we need a WR playmaker 1st
Posted on 1/26/26 at 9:47 am to Burt Macklin
Wow, Jordyn Tyson at 19, Keldric Faulk at 20, and Peter Woods at 30. That's the lowest I've seen any of those guys projected.

Also, there are 22 players on the field, and HB is 4.5% of the players on the field. So 5% of players drafted is exactly in line with expectations, if not a bit high given their extremely low cap value when drafted high.

First of all - Reggie frickING Bush
So that makes 2 teams since 2000 that took a back in the first and won partly because of them (Ravens and us). Hard to say drafting someone else gets us a better history because Reggie was pretty instrumental for a lot of that run.
But can Love be that dynamic, or as hard charging as Peterson or Lewis? That's the question. That's the bar. He can't just be Jacobs.

Jermod McCoy and Cashius Howell may be my 2 sleepers of the draft.

Cause mock drafts are worthless until the Senior bowl or someone legitimate like Jeremiah put one out.

lester, you've made quite a few comments this offseason about credibility of different sources of mock drafts which I don't have a problem with but can you name out which guys you deem more credible than the rest.
