There isa lot of streaks that NS will take to retirement with him...
And bama will take to record books with this program...
Hard to see the one you posted....changing in the neat future...
Unless ncaa changes the recruiting to make things more "equal"
Especially the one being rajnked #1 at sometimes during season @13 now...

2021 NFL Draft: Franco Harris isn't worried about boos in Cleveland, wants Steelers to take Najee Harris 24th

The Steelers legend will announce one of the Steelers' Day 2 draft picks from Cleveland

Harris did not hesitate when asked who he would like to see the Steelers take with the 24th overall pick.

"If he's available, I would like to see another Harris in the backfield," Harris said, alluding to Alabama running back Najee Harris. "We need a running game. I can't tell you how disappointing it was last year, we get to within the 5-yard line going into the end zone and we're throwing all the time. We're not pounding it in there and having running backs do their thing. We need a running back that can really make a difference. This Harris kid is a tough kid. I feel he could really make a difference. Him or Travis Etienne from Clemson.

McShay final mock:

6. Waddle (Miami)
10. Surtain (Dallas)
12. D. Smith (Philly)
15. Mac Jones (New England)
24. N. Harris (Pitt)
26. Barmore (Cleveland)

I'm not sure I've ever seen a year where so many media folks agreed on mocks. That probably means all hell will break loose after the 2nd pick and everything gets turned upside down.

That's what I was thinking too!

Was surprised to see Waddle that far ahead of D. Smith - But I suppose goes to show that if you're able to participate in everything, they can find reasons to devalue a guy... I guess it's his weight.

The fact that all Fields has been devalued publicly kind of tells me he has a lot of suitors trying to get him to slip. McShay has him at 9 to the Broncos.... Will be interesting to see if he's still available

Kiper final mock:

3. Mac Jones (San Fran)
6. D. Smith (Miami)
11. Waddle (NYG)
10. Surtain (Dallas)
23. N. Harris (Arizona)
32. Barmore(Tamba Bay)

If Mac falls to 15th pick it will be considered the steal of the draft in coming years. Any team that drafts Fields over Mac deserves to wallow in pig shit purgatory for the next decade

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Either way, I'd love to see Smith or Waddle with Tua.

If I have a few minutes this afternoon I may try to post a few things I’ve heard in recent days/weeks from the NFL side. A lot of it gets outdated quickly though so it may not be worth much. I will share a Kirby Smart story though that won’t surprise anyone, but also doesn’t make him look real good.

I wish Falcons fans saw it that way. They are clamoring for Fields and saying he is a can't miss and will fix everything wrong there. Atlanta would be better off picking Surtain at 4 than Fields.

You may be right... But I'm not quite as confident about Mac. This class will be one to watch for a handful of years... A few guys will def wash out, they always do!

As far as QB, 70% of QB taken in the first round over the last 15-20 years are considered busts. Probably higher but some haven't been in long enough to bust yet.

Justin Fields is fools gold

The Falcons need a QB and Fields is a favorite because he’s a local guy. Whichever QB they pic, I pity him.

At best Fields will be a dollar general version of Teddy Bridgewater after 2-3 years of sitting and learning

They're back high on Jamar Chase. Never hoping a guy fails, but I do hope Smith proves EVERYONE wrong that has questioned him.

Falcons do not need a QB this year that high. They need someone to sit a few years behind Ryan, playing off and on, so they can look at trading Ryan. They should draft a QB or two in later rounds.
