DE. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett. 1. player. 53. There is no reason to try to change this one because the Cleveland Browns will pick Myles Garrett. He is the best prospect coming out in this class by the widest of margins. At 6’6″ 270 pounds, he’s a freak athlete, with 40 speed in the 4.5s and a 41-inch vertical leap. <p>He’s also strong as a bull with 33 reps of 225, amazing for someone with 35 1/2-inch-long arms. As far as player comparisons go, I would call him a rich man’s Jadeveon Clowney. While just as fast as Clowney, Garrett is stronger, more explosive and has longer arms.</p> <p>And most importantly for Garrett, he’s a much more skilled pass rusher than Clowney is. Garrett is going to go to Cleveland and become a game-wrecker in the AFC North immediately. He’s going to have a few parts around him on that defensive front-seven too.</p> <p>And to think this is just the first of two first-round picks the Browns have in this draft. They actually have five of the top 65 picks in this draft to fortify their roster. The Browns have a chance to make up a lot of ground on the NFL this year. </p>
