I just hope they don't burn through Derrick Henry like the Oilers did Earl Campbell.
Najee Harris Draft Position

Correct. No greater example than last year. Six total RBs taken in the first three rounds. One each in rounds 1 & 2. Four taken in round 3.
In today’s NFL, being the top rated RB in the draft doesn’t even guarantee being a first round pick.
I never thought players leaving early with a 2nd round grade was a bad idea. The goal is to get to the NFL and make money. Though Harris would be in a lot better shape if he came back. So many backs ahead of him as well as possibly Cam Akers who not many mention. Come back next season and possibly be the top rb drafted
Same here. Deep positional pool at a low value position. If he got a worse than 3rd round grade, he’s gotta come back and have a complete season in 2020. I worry that if he’s drafted in the 4th round or worse that he’ll never have the buy-in you saw from the Titans to retool the offense around a bruising zone back. Teams are drafting fringe starters if not backups around that spot in the draft. They’re not going to be seeing you as a centerpiece.
Jacobs is the exact type of back the NFL wants. He’s fast, low center of gravity, compact but built, and strong.
OTOH, JJ's slowest 40 was 4.52, which was NH's fastest. IOW, they are in the same ballpark for speed. I don't see NH being that far behind JJ as a prospect. OTOH, I think he's one of those who might be able to better his draft position by coming back...
That would be huge. Harris and Sanders would be a great 1-2 punch next season, and Sanders would be able to learn from Najee for a year.
If NH runs like he did in the last quarter of the season for all of 2020, he will be a late 1st/early 2nd pick.
I agree. I think he has some room to better his draft pick, unlike X...
I’ve gotten myself hyped. After all this good yarn spun, don’t let us down Najee!
So if Najee were to come back who’s transferring? That would make Najee H, Brian R, Trey S, Keilan R, Jerome F, Jase McClendon, Roydell W, Kyle E. Would think that Townsend will move back to WR.
No idea, but Jase, Trey and KRob likely aren't going anywhere.
If my math is correct, that’s 3 times you’ve mentioned he needs to come back. Got any inside info for us or just hopefulness?
I think Damien was one of four RB’s that went in the 3rd round.
