Jim Harbaugh might miss drafting tight end Loveland

sportingnews.com

Former Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh may miss the chance to draft Colston Loveland in the upcoming NFL draft. Loveland, a standout tight end, is projected to be a hot commodity. CBS Sports' Josh Edwards believes he could be off the board by the time the Los Angeles Chargers pick at No. 22. The Chargers need help in several areas, especially at cornerback. They recently signed veteran Donte Jackson, but defensive depth remains a concern. Edwards noted that older pass rushers must step up as well. For Harbaugh's offensive strategy, having a versatile tight end like Loveland would be crucial. Meanwhile, Loveland has caught the attention of the Denver Broncos. USA Today’s Nate Davis reported on Loveland's meeting with the Broncos' officials. The team’s head coach, Sean Payton, is looking for a unique player for his scheme, often referred to as a "Joker." Loveland hopes to implement a style of play similar to Jimmy Graham, a successful player under Payton in New Orleans. The draft is scheduled for April 24. It will be interesting to see if Harbaugh makes a move to get his former player. Time is running out, and other teams are interested as well.
