SI really liked the pick, giving the Steelers an A+ grade. They think he has Hall Of Fame potential.

The Steelers are getting their next great back—Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, and now Najee Harris. Harris has Hall of Fame potential, and the Steelers addressed their most prominent need. Harris is an elite pass-catcher, can pass block, and is the best ball carrier in the draft. He has rookie of the year written all over him and could help bring the Steelers back to the playoffs. This was the best pick for Pittsburgh's current roster. The offensive line class is excellent, and there will be value in the 2nd round. With the lack of talent later on in the draft at the running back position, the Steelers are getting a true three-down back. This is one of the best picks so far. -- JB
