Does Najee Harris go in the first round?

About 60% mock drafts say yes. Hard to understand he is not a first round guy.
After Derrick Henry probably the 2nd best back in Alabama history him or Ingram.

I think he's better than Derrick Henry.

His measurables are insane. Few RB's warrant a first round pick these days, but he would be one

Hard to say.
Pundits think he will, but devaluation of the RB position in the NFL makes it more and more difficult to predict.

Only reason I could see if there was an argument that none of the teams need a RB as badly as they need other positions.
That said, he's a threat to catch out of the backfield as well. He caught 43 passes in 13 games and averaged nearly 10 yards a reception. I vividly recall a few times he showed really good hands and awareness. I have to think there's at least a couple of teams are seeing him as a huge compliment to what they already have at WR.

Derrick is tricky fast. You almost never see him get caught from behind. Harris is good but he is slightly below Henry.

The RB position in the NFL is devalued nowadays. It’s a shame. Najee is a first round talent

I disagree. I think if both stay healthy and end up in decent offenses, Najee will have the better career. Just my opinion though.

I am not so sure but I think the wheel might be spinning on that. If you want to beat a high octane offense, a ball control offense might be the way. Limit the number of possessions, and slow them down
You would need a steady OL and several grinders at RB, NH definitely fits that description.

Centers are becoming more and more valuable from what I've seen. When the center goes down typically the OL goes to crap because they are the "QB" of the offensive line.
OT's will always be paid well because they have to deal with the DE's, but center is a nice skillset, especially since so many teams play from shotgun these days

Najee doesn’t have the top end speed Henry has so the scouts aren’t going to value him at that level most likely.
He’s an incredibly balanced back who can catch passes out of the backfield and is solid in pass pro so I don’t see him busting, but he’s also not the athletic freak that they look for in high 1st round guys.

Love me some Najee, but he is not as good as Henry. King Henry is an absolute freak of nature. Najee is just a great RB.

If he doesn’t it won’t be because he’s not a top 10 talent. It’s just the way it goes for RB’s. So really the discussion is pointless.

I could absolutely see him in the bottom of the first round to a team that is already stacked. He would kill it on the Chiefs for example

I think so. I think if he's there at 30, Buffalo will take him.

He's the best and most complete running back in the draft IMO, but whether or not he goes in the first round I honestly don't know
