The gap isn’t so big these days but edge rusher Myles Garrett is still the best NFL prospect. At 6’5″, 260 pounds, Garrett has vines for arms to keep offensive linemen off of him. He has everything an edge rusher needs to go with it too.

He has a explosive get-off and continues with great burst off the edge. His ability to bend around the corner is also good for a man his height. And he has the all important motor that won’t quit every defensive lineman needs.

Then he has that array of pass-rush moves he uses at different times to set opposing tackles up. But don’t call him just an edge rusher, he is also very stout against the run. He’s just the guy to put on a defensive line with a guy like Ndamukong Suh.

So with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins take Garrett. And from there, the Dolphins create their version of the “Miami Pound Machine.” Look for the Dolphins to move up the standings after making this pick.
