1. San Francisco 49ers- Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&M

The 49ers have plenty of holes on the roster and really need to just target the best player available. Unfortunately, that means they won’t be able to address their need at the quarterback position. With Garrett, they still get lucky because he has a chance to be a dominant pass rusher.

2. Cleveland Browns- Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama

Cleveland is another team in need of quarterback help but are better served going in a different direction. Jonathan Allen is a physical presence along the defensive line who can shut down the run game. However, it’s his potential as a pass rusher that makes him worthy of a top-5 pick.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan

The Jaguars are a mess right now, but still have a lot of talent on the roster. They’ll have another shot in the 2017 NFL Draft to grab an elite player. Jabrill Peppers would fit as a safety/linebacker  hybrid in Jacksonville. The combination of Peppers and Jalen Ramsey would give the Jaguars two elite defensive backs.

4. Chicago Bears- Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Chicago would rather one of the top-3 defensive prospects but they are already off the board. Instead, they can find a replacement for Alshon Jeffery and some insurance if Kevin White fails to develop. Mike Williams is a long and fluid receiver who knows how to make plays down the field.
