Daily Dawg Tags: Myles Garrett the clear choice at No. 1 overall
The Cleveland Browns have options, but Myles Garrett continues to prove he is the easy choice to make with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
It is easy to take results from the NFL Combine and overreact. But when it comes to the top prospects in the draft class, the Combine usually serves as proof of why these players are considered the best.
Myles Garrett proved himself Sunday, and those making the draft decisions for the Cleveland Browns got a great view of the showcase.
They must now come to the logical decision of drafting Garrett with the No. 1 overall pick. There may be some urgency to draft a quarterback, but owning the No. 12 overall pick allows the Browns to trade up if they feel that one of the available prospects is a can’t-miss guy.
But it is also possible a quarterback they like drops to No. 12, so using the No. 1 pick on anyone but Garrett would just be foolish.
Aside from a harmless video that was made in jest, Garrett has done nothing that should prevent the Browns from drafting him. In fact, his name should already be on the draft card for the No. 1 overall pick.
The scouting will continue throughout March and April, but the Browns have an easy choice at No. 1 overall. Let’s take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
