1. Cleveland Browns

OLB. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett . 1. player. 53. The Robert Griffin III hype train has left the station for the Cleveland Browns. It would seem head coach Hue Jackson may be onto something with the 26-year old former Rookie of the Year. Time will ultimately tell if the gamble pays off but the odds are starting to swing in favor of his being their long-term option. In that case the team will be free use their picks at other key positions. One that should be at the top of the agenda? An edge rusher. <p>It’s time to admit the Barkevious Mingo gamble failed. It happens, but that doesn’t negate the fact Cleveland has no pass rusher they can rely on. They need somebody who can get them a sack when they need it. Myles Garrett is the best in this class by a considerable margin. He’s got size and strength but is also a flexible athlete who can win with speed. His leg drive is explosive enough to a point where he can run stunts to the inside and knife into the backfield. Once he learns how to consistently use his hands, it’s over.</p>
