2. Tennessee Titans (via LA)- Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&M

Scouting Report

This pick was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams that allowed them to move up and select Jared Goff No. 1 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Tennessee Titans are in the position where they can target the best player available with this pick. It’s an easy decision as Myles Garrett is an elite prospect with the potential to be a dominant pass rusher early in his career.

Garrett is a versatile rusher who can use his speed to attack the edge, counter inside and push the pocket with his strength. His tenacity and not-stop motor helps make him as close to a can’t-miss prospect as we’ve seen in years.

More from With the First Pick

Tennessee doesn’t necessarily have a need at the position, but Garrett would represent an upgrade over Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo. It’s also important to mention the potential savings to the salary cap that would come from letting go one of those two veterans.

Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers is another intriguing option as someone who could help at either linebacker or in the secondary. His switch to linebacker this year has clouded his draft stock some as he already showed enough skills as a cornerback to be a top-10 pick.
