Heading into year three of the Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman era, the Broncos seemingly don’t need a running back as they’ve gotten by without really using Devontae Booker this year, but there might not be a better value to replace Booker on day three of the 2020 NFL Draft than Alabama’s Najee Harris.

Harris is a huge back at 6-foot-2, 227 pounds, and he’s really just starting to come around for the Crimson Tide as a big-time impact player in their offense.

He’s not the level of prospect of a guy like Josh Jacobs or Derrick Henry, but Harris has an intriguing blend of power as a runner and vision after the catch as a receiver, and he’s obviously a big body who can stick his nose into pass protection.

There’s nothing wrong with having some depth at running back. You never know when injuries come up and this guy is a physical runner who could work well in a one-cut offense like the one the Broncos run.
