Steelers 2021 NFL mock draft: Najee Harris edition

It seems the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase has become quite enamored with Alabama running back Najee Harris. In fact, most of the NFL draft world seems to be on the Harris bandwagon. Rightfully so as Harris is an impressive prospect across the board.

So for my first Steelers mock draft of 2021, I decided to do the Harris edition of the simulation. Using the draft simulator at The Draft Network, I only ran a full mock draft when I was able to select Harris in the first round.

Full disclosure, it took six tries before Harris fell to the Steelers in the first round. In the other five simulations, there were some elite prospects on the board as Steelers positions of need.

But we went with Harris and then filled in behind the pick with the guys who filled the Steelers need the best. Read on and let us know what you think.
