Glazer: 'Haven't Had 1 Team' Value Jordan Love over Tua, Justin Herbert

Utah State quarterback Jordan Love reportedly isn't generating much buzz as a potential high-end prospect heading into the 2020 NFL draft. 

Jay Glazer of The Athletic reported Wednesday his discussions "haven't had one team" who ranked Love ahead of either Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa or Oregon's Justin Herbert, the second-tier QBs behind presumptive No. 1 selection Joe Burrow of LSU.

The quarterback market has been unsettled beyond Burrow and the limited predraft process prevented any of the signal-callers from getting their final opportunities to stand out from the crowd.

After the reigning Heisman Trophy winner comes off the board to the Cincinnati Bengals with the first pick, the Miami Dolphins (No. 5) and Los Angeles Chargers (No. 6) are likely to choose between Tagovailoa or Herbert, with the Bolts potentially trading up to guarantee themselves their preferred choice.

Although Love was considered a contender to join that conversation, it doesn't sound like he's going to make that late surge into the top five.

So he'll likely land somewhere in the third tier alongside Washington's Jacob Eason, Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts and Georgia's Jake Fromm.

The added wrinkle in the quarterback market is the heavy dependence on scheme. The teams targeting a pocket-passer like Love likely won't be the same ones looking at a dual-threat option like Hurts, which leaves the potential for a significant slide during the draft.

Love enjoyed a breakout 2018 season with 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in 13 games. His numbers dropped off considerably last season, however, tallying 20 TDs and 17 picks in 13 contests.

The 21-year-old California native told ESPN's Tim Keown that NFL teams have asked him about the uptick in turnovers.

"It gave me a chance to tell them what was going through my mind," Love said. "They're not going to put your good plays out there; they want to see the bad ones and have you talk through it."

While there's a lot to like about Love's makeup—the physical tools and the arm strength give him ample upside—quarterbacks who turn the ball over at the rate he did last season don't usually hold starting jobs for long in the NFL.

It's going to make landing with the right team, which has a good scheme fit and the time for him to develop, crucial as Love begins his journey at the next level. In that sense, perhaps not getting pick inside the top five or six will be better for him in the long run.
