I think he should. May have to be the right fit like CEH was with KC.

Depends on team needs, but Najee is a freight train and should do very well in the NFL.

Hard to tell with running backs
Etienne and Harris both have a chance but I would say late first round or early second

So much to shake out with all these QB moves first that will determine how the draft plays out

It's a WR league now too

I think the Bills would take him if he is there at 29. That's just about the last missing piece for them and he would provide the balance that makes them damn near unstoppable.

I think he should primarily due to his passing catching skills, which set him apart from the rest. He catches the ball like a receiver with not only great hands but great body adjustment to the ball.

Based on his numbers and measurables, he should no doubt be a 1st round pick.

However, running back might be one of the deepest positions in the draft and we all know how far down the totem pole the running back position has become.

Therefor I think he ends up going in the 2nd. But as another poster stated, all it takes is one team to fall in love with him ala CEH to KC last year.

Agree with this completely. I think he’d be perfect for the Bills, especially if Allen can learn to share a little more.

Edit: Could see the Steelers taking him as well.

Jacksonville, Jets, Miami all have 2 picks. He'd be an immediate upgrade at RB for any of those teams with their second picks.

RB has become a utility/special role these days in the NFL. Change my mind.

That being said, Najee will have a leg up on everyone (not just due to the hurdling) but because no one catches out of the backfield like he does.

Playing at a place like Bama (WRU and QBU) will do that for a RB.

Great points plus he can pass block at an elite level.

James Robinson was 4th in the league in rushing last year as a UDFA, and the Jags have far more pressing needs anyways. They aren't taking Harris in the 1st round.

NYJ also has far more pressing needs and wouldn't take him.

I could see where Miami might consider it, but I believe they need a WR and a LT first.

I am of the belief that you only use a 1st round pick on a RB when you think he's the final piece of your puzzle, which is why Buffalo makes the most sense to me.

Absolutely he will. His measurables alone guarantee it will happen

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t. He’s extremely hard to tackle.

Gaskin is a smaller back and I think he had injury issues last season. Najee would provide a great change of pace to Gaskin.

Tampa Bay with pick number 32. Not only is a hell on wheels running back he catches the ball like a wide receiver. Look at him in that dump off game. Does Tampa need him? No but why pass on him.
