The NFL has a lot of good defensive prospects coming into the 2017 NFL Draft. Jonathan Allen and Myles Garrett are battling it out for who is the best among them.

The 2017 NFL Draft probably isn’t the best draft to find a quarterback or left tackle. There just simply aren’t that many with high enough grades at this point. However, the quarterback position is the most reached for position in NFL Draft history.

It’s the hardest position to play, the hardest to evaluate and the most important player on the field. So you can understand why a team that needs one would make that reach. But as the old saying goes, “Defense wins championships.”

And this year, there are a lot of defensive players at many positions that can change a franchise. Edge-rusher Myles Garrett is definitely one of those players. ESPN reported Saturday that the Cleveland Browns have an “astronomical grade” on him.

There were rumors a couple of weeks ago that the team was smitten with quarterback Mitch Trubisky. So if you’re a Browns fan, you should be thanking God about this one. There is no quarterback in this draft that will improve the Browns like Garrett can.

So turn the page to see where everyone goes after he goes No. 1 overall
