The game plan for 2026? Use that high first-round pick to inject a dynamic rushing threat and revive the ground game. 🏈💥
Top option at No. 9: Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame. A standout two-way back with elite PFF grades, Love posted 1,650 yards from scrimmage last season and averaged 4.5 yards after contact in 2025. He’d bring immediate explosive help and is projected as a candidate to win Offensive Rookie of the Year if he lands in KC. 🏈🔥
Love’s Heisman finalist credentials add to the hype, with a 19-touchdown sophomore season and a 1,372-yard, 21-TD follow-up that kept him in New York’s Heisman conversation. 🏀📊
Alternative path: keep it inside Notre Dame and grab Jadarian Price, Love’s backfield mate, in the 3rd round. Price totaled 1,692 rushing yards across three seasons and added 162 receiving yards and three receiving TDs, offering a solid backfield reset. 🏈⚡
Bottom line: with Mahomes at the helm, a true rushing weapon could unlock the offense and push KC back toward sustained greatness. 🔥📈
