By Tyler Brooke
After another exciting week of college football, here’s a complete updated first-round NFL mock draft.
Another week of college football is in the books, and there are a handful of guys that are starting to make some big names for themselves.
The big names like Myles Garrett and Leonard Fournette already look like top-tier prospects. However, a few other names have started to sneak into the first round after some great starts to this season.
The NFL draft order will continue to change in the coming months, but here is what the first round would look like if the draft was t

This season is going about as expected for the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, that’s not a good thing, because the Browns are 0-3 and looking like the worst team in the NFL. On the bright side, at least they’ll get the No. 1 overall pick with a chance to get the most dominant defender in this year’s draft class.
Texas A&M’s Myles Garrett is an absolute beast at 6’5” and 270 pounds. Not only does he have the size as an edge defender, but he also has the raw power and strength to drive offensive linemen back. He’ll be a dominant force against the run and pass, although it will take some time for him to develop the proper technique to create separation on would-be blockers.
The Browns are desperately missing impact defensive players outside of Joe Haden. Adding someone like Garrett who could make plays in the backfield could help the defense turns things around.
