Round 4, Pick 109: Damien Harris | RB | Alabama

Another Alabama offensive skill player for the Jaguars? Sure, why not. And it’s another Alabama stud who slides a bit further than most are projecting right now.

Damien Harris is a legitimate Day-2 prospect who, if running back was given equal value to other position groups, would probably come off the board in the second round. But there’s a really good chance that a running back won’t be selected in the first round this year, and as a result, the whole group is going to slide.

Harris would be the ideal backup plan if Leonard Fournette can’t get his career straightened out. He has three-down traits and while he may not be the flashiest prospect in this class, he’s going to be a productive starting-quality player in the NFL.

A lot of who slides to the fourth round will depend on where these backs settle on teams’ final big boards. It’s very possible Harris can be the second-highest graded running back for one club, but be fifth or sixth for another. And those guys tend to slide.
