NFL Mock Draft 2017: Deshaun Watson & Mike Williams Are in Top 5

No. 1 Cleveland Browns: DE Myles Garrett


School: Texas A&M


Position: Defensive End


Class: Junior


Outlook: In our last mock draft, we had the Browns taking a quarterback. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns have an "astronomical grade" on Myles Garrett despite his up and down season. Garrett has all the physical tools needed to succeed as an elite NFL pass rusher. With teams like the Broncos and Seahawks winning Super Bowls with squads built around defense, NFL teams are desperate for players that can get to the quarterback. They have seen how players like Michael Bennett and Von Miller have impacted their entire team. Garrett battled injuries throughout the 2016 season but has enough good film over the course of his career to make him a top pick. The Browns also have the 12th pick thanks to their trade with the Eagles last offseason and could look to get a quarterback with that selection. (Getty)
