ESPN’s Jordan Raanan believes that Giants head coach John Harbaugh “is going to want to” draft Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love if he is available with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen views Love as “an offensive weapon,” not just as a running back, so he may not disagree with Harbaugh in this scenario. That said, Raanan reminds viewers that Harbaugh is ultimately “running the show” in New York. The Giants are also interested in Ohio State LB Sonny Styles and Ohio State S Caleb Downs. Per Raanan, trading back into the Nos. 6-10 range before drafting Downs might be the “perfect scenario” for the Giants.
