Excerpt:
Damien Harris, running back (third round, No. 87): He played in two games after rushing for 876 yards and nine touchdowns, and catching 22 passes for 204 yards, in his final season at Alabama. Running backs coach Ivan Fears insisted Harris (5-foot-11, 213 pounds) did everything right behind the scenes, but was simply buried on a deep depth chart in a season when his position group was relatively healthy. Harris' lack of special-teams contributions factored into his minimal playing time. His power-running style, coupled with 2018 first-round pick Sony Michel, gives the Patriots a potentially nice one-two combination.
