1. Cleveland Browns- Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&M

The Cleveland Browns can’t afford to get cute and force a quarterback with this pick. Myles Garrett is the best player in this draft and is capable of being a difference maker from day one. He’s an elite pass rusher who plays with a lot of tenacity.

2. San Francisco 49ers- Tim Williams, Edge, Alabama

San Francisco would love to land Garrett, but will have to settle for the explosive Tim Williams. He’s a different type of prospect in that he’s more athleticism than polish. However, Williams is the most explosive edge rushers in this draft class.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jabrill Peppers, DB/LB, Michigan

Jacksonville has a ton of young talent on the roster which makes it tough to pinpoint where they’ll go with this pick. They need help along the offensive line but there isn’t a lineman worthy of coming off the board this high.

Jabrill Peppers is a versatile defender who can help in coverage and support the run. He’s a tremendous athlete with the potential to develop into a real playmaker. His ability in the return game brings added value to the pick.

4. Chicago Bears- Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama

The Chicago Bears need help at the quarterback position, but again it would be a major reach to select one here. Their best bet is to target the best player available and that would Jonathan Allen. His addition would give the Bears one of the more dynamic front-7s in the league.
