Browns pick Myles Garrett No
Players usually show off their speed and skills across various tests before team representatives at the NFL’s annual scouting combine, this year’s took place between 28 February and 6 March.
According to multiple reports, the Browns are hoping to grab Trubisky at some point in the first round. An NFL executive told Jeremiah that the Browns take up impact players at picks No. 1 and 12 and trade trade back into the bottom of the first round for Webb.
Ryan Leaf is one of the most infamous NFL draft busts of all time – a label that ultimately led him down a path of drug addiction and jail time long after he’d flushed his football career down the toilet.
Each spring, National Football League fans gather together in one place to boo Roger Goodell and, occasionally, the first-round picks of their favorite teams in a rich tradition known as the National Football League draft. Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett is a generational type talent that cannot just help build, but revolutionize a defense.
But these are the Cleveland Browns we are dealing with here.
Garrett had been considered the likely No. 1 pick for weeks, despite increasing scrutiny and critiques of his play as the draft neared. Yes, the Browns need a quarterback, but the guy that they’re looking at, Mitchell Trubisky, needs a lot of polish, as do most of the quarterbacks in this draft.
Chicago traded up from No. 3 to No. 2, swapping picks with the 49ers, in order to take Trubisky. Cleveland has not drafted a quarterback in the top 20 picks since 1999 when Tim Couch was the No. 1 overall pick. Cleveland needed to get it right with their two picks in the first round, and with plenty of holes to fill on their roster, they certainly did a nice job doing just that.
Goodell, who was speaking at an NFL Play 60 event in the shadow of Thursday’s draft site, did not provide a definitive timetable on when the next draft site would be announced. It doesn’t matter if the organization hasn’t had a reliable quarterback since 1999.
Of the 10 defensive ends drafted No. 1 overall, five have been named first-team All-Pro: Williams, Bruce Smith, Lee Roy Selmon, Too Tall Jones and Bubba Smith.
How big a deal is this?
With their first pick, the Browns selected defensive end Myles Garrett from Texas A&M.
