2. Najee Harris

While it is not necessarily a strength of his game, Najee Harris does have that home run ability. In fact, he is in my opinion the most well-rounded running back in this class. He can essentially do anything a team would want from the position and can be that featured running back who gets a majority of the work.

He finished this past season with 1,466 rushing yards and 26 rushing touchdowns along with 425 receiving yards and 4 receiving touchdowns. He had six games where he had at least one rush over 25 yards.

The downside here is that Najee Harris undoubtedly would require the Bills to use their first round pick on the Alabama running back. This is something that Brandon Beane didn’t dismiss but it becomes a question of if the value is right or if there is another player that makes more sense.
