Daily Dawg Tags: A draft scenario not involving Myles Garrett
The Cleveland Browns seem to have an easy choice with the No. 1 overall pick, but there are several different routes the team can go.
Reading all the mock drafts coming out right now makes it seem like the NFL Draft is tomorrow and the Cleveland Browns are hopefully about to select a franchise-changing player.
Alas, the draft is still two months away, but the Browns are technically on the clock. And even though Myles Garrett appears to be the favorite to go No. 1 overall, the team has options.
This time of year gives fans plenty of time to come up with countless scenarios, even though the front office may have already decided on Garrett. It is the fun of the offseason, and also a major cause of stress in Cleveland.
Some fans are upset with Garrett for his harmless video asking the Dallas Cowboys to trade up and draft him, but the front office in Cleveland is smart enough to pass it off as meaningless. They want talent, and Garrett has plenty of it.
While Garrett is the obvious choice, we have run several mock draft pieces in which we look at who the Browns will take given different scenarios. The latest one sees who the team will take if Garrett is not selected. Let’s take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
