Najee Harris at 18 gives Miami an immediate answer at running back

Pick Analysis. NajeeHarris. 18. player. 829. Scouting Report. RB. Alabama

The Alabama Crimson Tide running back has seen his stock rise throughout this offseason, landing at 18 could be the highest he will go in the draft. However, it could be another team taking Harris at this spot.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could call the Dolphins in order to move up and take Harris at 18, a move that would likely benefit both teams in the long term. However, if Miami does stay put at 18, running back might not be a fan favorite pick, but Harris seems like the real deal.

The stud running back from Alabama was the best running back in the country this season and excelled as a runner, receiver, and blocker. With the Dolphins’ inconsistent run game last season, adding Harris would allow the team to have a two-headed monster when paired with Myles Gaskin.

While the Dolphins need to address holes at EDGE and wideout after not taking one at six, adding a top-flight running back will yet again ease the pressure off Tagovailoa.

Sewell and Harris in the first round make Tagovailoas life easier and are the top two players at their respective positions. The Dolphins will need to focus on EDGE and wideout in round two in order to fill their major holes.
