It’s becoming more apparent by the week how the 2017 NFL mock draft (and the real one) will be shaping up for next April.

Of the Cleveland Browns seems like the shoe-in for the #1 overall pick, but now other teams have slowly cemented themselves in the spots behind them. The question moving forward is what their priorities will be. Don’t act surprised if the Browns lead things off with a pick that most people never would’ve expected.

1. Cleveland Browns

Myles Garrett . 1. player. 53. Every time Cody Kessler steps on the football field for the Cleveland Browns, he seems to play really well. One can understand why the team likes him. The problem is he’s having a really hard time staying healthy. So the Browns still have a big decision ahead in regards to whether they take a quarterback #1 or not. It certainly seems like they’re looking for an excuse not to. If Kessler can finish the season healthy, expect them to look elsewhere. <p>Most experts are in agreement on one thing. It seems like Texas A&M pass rusher Myles Garrett is a cut above the rest of the 2017 class in terms of talent. He is a legitimate pass rusher who can beat blockers almost any way imaginable. The Browns currently have nobody like that on their defense. Jamie Collins looks like their only building block at the moment. Adding Garrett to the roster would be a giant step in the right direction.</p>. DE. Texas A&amp;M
