1. player. 53. . Defensive End. Cleveland Browns. Myles Garrett

It seemed like the no-brainier pick, and the Browns were sure not to mess that up. Garrett was seen by almost everybody as the number one overall player in the 2017 NFL. While there may have been rumors that the Browns would take a quarterback, they took Garrett instead.

Browns fans should be happy with this pick. Garrett should come in and immediately help out on the defensive side of the ball. He has been criticized for taking plays off and not always playing his hardest, but that’s been said about other players who flourished once getting into the NFL.
