Third-overall pick signals heavy usage; Lafleur as HC boosts confidence.

Despite Nathaniel Hackett's history of utilizing veteran running backs like Breece Hall as receivers in 2023, Love's third-overall draft selection and the Cardinals' $5 million pay cut to James Connor signal heavy intended usage; the source notes Love is priced in the third round where he doesn't need to be a workhorse immediately and can pay off ADP like Jalen Gibbs did by being explosive and catching the ball, with sufficient snap share expected by week three or four. The Cardinals spent the third overall pick on Jeremiah Love, which the source describes as 'the loudest thing that you could say' about organizational commitment to his usage. With Mike Lafleur as head coach and play-caller (rather than Nathaniel Hackett as a subordinate), the source expresses optimism that Love will be utilized effectively, comparing Lafleur's trajectory to Kell Moore's. The source hopes this context 'hurts Jeremiah Love's ADP a little bit' to enable a third-round entry point where confidence in his payoff is higher.

Source transcript excerpt
Love is being priced in a in a range in the in the third now where we don't have to have him be a workhorse immediately... You spent the third overall pick on Jeremiah Love... Mike Lafleur is calling plays and is the head coach here where Hackett is, you know, a subordinate to the guy calling plays. And I trust Laflur a lot more than Hackett as far as designing the offense and utilizing his best players.
