OLB. Texas A&M. Myles Garrett. 2. player. 42. Myles Garrett is the edge rusher prospect of edge rusher prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft. At 6’5″, 262 pounds, there isn’t anything not to like about him at his position. He has long arms, burst off the edge and counter-moves to go with it.
<p>He also has an ever-running motor and can convert speed to power without a problem. Garrett isn’t just a pass rusher either as he is stout at the point of attack against the run. He he’s a good fit for the San Francisco 49ers, who never replaced Aldon Smith.</p>
<p>Garret would be going to a defense that has young interior stud DeForest Buckner on it. So opposing quarterbacks won’t have a place to step up when Garrett beats his man outside. The secondary improving and Navorro Bowman coming back healthy next year is big too.</p>
<p>The defensive personnel would no longer be a problem with the 49ers if they make this pick. The defense would actually be able to win games for the team next year. Head coach chip Kelly would simply have to adjust his offense not to go up-tempo all the time.</p>
