Buffalo isn't exactly hurting for an RB. They have two young guys, and Josh Allen is going to take goal line carries anyway. If they go skill position with their first pick, I think they're getting the best WR available.

Singletary and Moss didn't exactly set the world on fire and it is the most obvious position upgrade on their roster. I think they'll roll with Diggs and Davis at WR.

There is always a team looking for a RB, usually a team with 2 first round draft picks.

I say late 25-32.


RBs are based on team needs nowadays. I believe he is best available.

If Derrick Henry made it into the 2nd round, who knows.

But I say he goes late 1st.

Could see the Steelers taking him as well.

They could, but unless they address other issues (scheme, OL, and QB of the future)the Steelers would be a waste.

There really isn't a team in great need of a RB to burn a 1st rd pick unless they just really see value in Harris or Etienne.

Miami is in biggest need of playmakers, but they are taking a WR1 before a RB. But, I think his best shot to be a 1st RD pick is to the Dolphins at 18 (likely too high still for the value, but if they get Smith or Chase, adding a bigger RB that can play between the tackles,pass block and is dangerous in space with good hands may be an option).

Or, to the Jets at 23 with their 2nd pick. Frank Gore is 98 years old, afterall.

I think he will most likely be a 2nd round pick.

I think early to mid 2nd. Not a lot RBs go first round these days. Derrick Henry went 45th. He’s done alright.

2nd round at the earliest, but after Travis Etienne for sure.

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.



Derrick Henry almost always has to come out of the game in passing situations. That wouldn't be the case with Najee. He also pass blocks effectively. He's an every down back...not many are.

He’s the best back and most complete back in the draft IMO. No idea if he’ll go in the first round though. Only one back went in the first last year with the very last pick of the first.

He’s a guy that might have a lot riding on the combine/whatever they end up doing.

If he runs a good 40 then his skill will probably get him picked in the 1st round.

If he’s slowish and stiff, which he has looked at times in his career, he’ll go in the 2nd I guess.

He was really good catching out of the backfield as well. I think that keeps him the first round, just late.

That is yet to be seen.

Obviously he can catch and even run routes. But the ridiculous quickness of typically smaller RBs is what teams use on 3rd down passing situations.

Needs to go to Green Bay. Will be the missing piece to get them to the Super Bowl.
