10. . RB. Alabama. Damien Harris. 29. player

In both his sophomore and junior campaigns, Damien Harris rushed for over 1,000 yards for Alabama. This year, he only has 771. But he is more than capable of making up the 229 yards left to 1,000 in Alabama’s next two games en route to their eventual College Football Playoff Championship. He is currently the top running back prospect in this year’s draft and still has plenty of opportunities to show teams what he is worth when he is handed the ball on the biggest stage in the next few weeks.

As for the Texans, well, they are pretty solid all the way around. Their defense is young, healthy, and just simply good. Deshaun Watson has recovered well from his torn ACL last season, and DeAndre Hopkins is able to catch pretty much anything in a three-yard vicinity from where he is standing.

The Texans’ run game has been the most inconsistent part of their team. Lamar Miller is a talented back, but is getting older(for running backs that is). Drafting Harris, and giving him a year to learn from a veteran like Lamar Miller, will lead to rushing prosperity for Houston.
