Garrett is a dynamic pass rusher who is the best player in this draft class. He combines his excellent athleticism with a non-stop motor and natural feel for the game. Fournette is an every-down back who will take pressure off of whoever is lining up under center.
DeShaun Watson gives the team a quarterback with a ton of upside. He’s stock has fallen after his inconsistencies this past year, but the raw talent still remains. Hue Jackson has proven in the past he has the ability to develop an offense to help his quarterback.
Gareon Conley is a talented defensive back who could step right in as a starter. He’d give the Browns some depth at the position should they want to explore a trade of Joe Haden.
