Buffalo Bills First Round (30th Overall): Najee Harris, RB (Alabama)

The discussion of whether or not the Buffalo Bills should select a running back is one that has been heavily debated over the past few weeks. It is also a debate that will likely continue all the way up to the NFL Draft at the end of the month.

However, in this mock draft, the Bills go running back as Najee Harris was the highest-rated player when the team was on the clock. Harris is one of the best, if not the top prospect at his position as he can do anything a team would want from their running back. He can run between the tackles with power, can get outside, and is a very good pass-catcher out of the backfield.

The run game was underwhelming last year and while the Bills may not want to abandon their pass-heavy offense, by adding Harris they now get a playmaker that defenses would have to gameplan and prepare for.
