A Letter From the Editor: Is drafting a 1st Round running back really a dying trend?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering Year 3 of the Najee Harris tenure, and there are many fans who follow the team who appreciate what Harris brings to the offense, like him as a player, but also will say there is no need for any team to draft a running back in the 1st Round of the NFL Draft.

With players who were drafted outside the first round, most forget Derrick Henry was a 2nd Round selection, providing plenty of production, getting that cow bell running back doesn’t seem like it is a necessity anymore.
