Panthers Trade Up for Notre Dame RB?
15 Mar
Summary
- Panthers may trade up for Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love.
- Trade involves giving up picks in 2026 and 2027.
- Love is a highly-rated prospect with power and athleticism.
In a potential bold move, the Carolina Panthers are being projected to trade up in the upcoming NFL draft to select Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Analyst Alec Elijah of Pro Football Sports Network forecasts the Panthers acquiring the 10th overall pick from the Cincinnati Bengals.
This proposed trade would cost Carolina picks in 2026 and 2027, including a second-rounder. It's a significant investment for a team looking to improve its record. Jeremiyah Love is highly regarded, ranked among the top offensive prospects, noted for his power and athleticism.
Love demonstrated his talent with 3,104 combined yards and 40 touchdowns in 28 games over his final two seasons at Notre Dame. He is seen as a versatile player who can contribute both as a runner and receiver.
However, the hefty price tag for this trade is questioned, especially considering the Panthers already have proven talent at running back. Chuba Hubbard had a career-best season in 2024, and the team also drafted Trevor Etienne. The wisdom of such a trade for a team without a winning record since 2017 remains a key discussion point.
