Daily Dawg Tags: The certainty surrounding the No. 1 pick
The Cleveland Browns face a lot of uncertainty in the upcoming NFL Draft, but not when it comes to the No. 1 overall pick.
While the Cleveland Browns continue to attend and not attend certain Pro Days, there is little talk of what the team will do with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Myles Garrett has been the consensus No. 1 pick for months, and has done nothing to remove himself from this spot. Some want to cite his harmless video about going to the Dallas Cowboys as evidence for not drafting him, but that is just foolish.
No team would pass on Garrett at this point, and the Browns won’t either. This now shifts the focus to what the team will do with the No. 12 overall pick.
The Browns could still try to swing a trade for Jimmy Garoppolo and include the pick, although that depends on whether the team is even looking for a quarterback. With Brock Osweiler still on the roster, he may be the team’s option for 2017.
The quarterback position is a whole separate discussion, but it is nice to know the team has a clear choice when it comes to the No. 1 pick. Let’s take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
