Texans A&M. Myles Garrett. 1. player. 53. The fastest way for the Cleveland Browns to start winning is to build the defense. And in this pass-happy NFL, an edge-rusher is a good piece to build a defense around. Myles Garrett is unquestionably the best edge-rusher prospect coming out and boy do the Browns know it. After the rumors about Trubisky, the Browns’ “astronomical grade” on Garrett is more believable. The Browns are still building a solid front-seven around big nose tackle Danny Shelton. The trade to bring in edge-rusher Jamie Collins from the New England Patriots was a part of it. Garrett looks like he’s going to be the next special edge-rusher to come out in the draft. So look for the Browns to rush the passer well as he makes a big immediate impact in 2017. Cornerback Jamar Taylor just got and extension and hopefully, Joe Haden can stay healthy. If so, the Browns will be much better equipped to deal with the quarterbacks of the AFC North. Robert Griffin III doesn’t look so great at quarterback now but neither do the draft prospects. If the RGIII can’t improve quickly, Jimmy Garoppolo for a second-round pick would massively improve the Browns.. OLB
