829. . RB. Crimson Tide . Najee Harris. 27. player

The Miami Dolphins trade pick 36 and pick 90 to the Baltimore Ravens for pick 27.

Okay, now Miami fans should check on me to see if I am okay. And honestly, I have never been better, baby! Yup, you read this correctly. The Dolphins select former Alabama running back Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

If there was one person in the Dolphins world that has been against this the most, it is me. I have been a well-known running back in the first-round hater, and I do not believe any running back should be selected in the first round this year. However, Miami is not built like other teams, and there are not teams that have the draft capital the Dolphins do.

So, with that in mind, after adding Smith and Parsons, I am 100% on board with trading back up into the first round and getting Harris. I think Harris could become a Buffalo Bill if he is there for them at 30, so that is what makes this trade-up scenario that much sweeter.

Miami jumps ahead of the Bills and steals the running back they want and need. Pittsburgh could also look into Harris, but I think a player like Clemon’s Travis Etienne fits them better, and I even said Etienne reminds me of Le’Veon Bell a little when he played in Pittsburgh.

Harris would complete Miami’s offensive skill positions and give them one of the best offenses in the NFL over the next four seasons. Tua Tagovailoa would be the happiest man on the planet if this happens, and honestly, Miami should be willing to build the team around him just like this.
