Happy 2026 NFL Draft week, everyone. It's time for one last round of mocks before the real thing in Pittsburgh starting Thursday.

Let's start with this: Where is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love going on Thursday? Clearly, it's all but certain he'll be a Round 1 pick. But how high? In our latest NFL mock draft from Christian D'Andrea, he's got Love going No. 7 to the Washington Commanders, who could use some help at the position.

And in the latest ESPN NFL mock draft from Jordan Reid, he's got Love to... the Commanders at No. 7 too! Here's his take on why:

The Commanders need help everywhere, so I have them taking the player I feel is the best in this year's class. Love is an explosive play waiting to happen and would unlock multiple layers of the playbook that Washington couldn't access last season. He rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025 and had 39 runs of 10 or more yards, fourth most in the FBS. Having quarterback Jayden Daniels and Love together would strike fear in NFL defenses.

There you have it! Make sure to check out D'Andrea's latest NFL mock draft!
