2017 NFL Mock Draft: Creative Trades Dominate QB Position
By Erik Lambert
The latest 2017 NFL mock draft see a rather surprise series of maneuver that dominate the quarterback market through the early rounds.
At the same time, in a rare occurrence it’s defense that dominates the top 10. Pass rushers, safeties and cornerbacks come off the board in a flurry of moves. All the while one or two playmakers on the offensive side go to teams that so desperately need them. Yet nothing changes at the top. Cleveland remains steadfast in their target of choice. It’s what happens right after that starts to get a little bit crazy.
1. Cleveland Browns
Texas A&M. Myles Garrett . 1. player. 53. At this point it’s no longer a surprise. Myles Garrett is the best overall prospect in the 2017 NFL draft class. It’s not a question. His talent is freakish and he has the production to back it up. Name the last pass rusher of serious merit that the Cleveland Browns have employed. One would have to go all the way back to the 1980s. If they want to get their new defense off the ground, it starts with putting heat on the quarterback. <p>Yes there will be a debate on whether or not they should just get the best quarterback on the board. However, after going 1-15 how is a rookie quarterback going to change that. Even with an improved offensive line this team is miles away from contending. It’s probably best to focus on acquiring the best possible talent they can. Garrett is the only no brainer in this class. They deserve whatever they get if they don’t pick him.</p>. DE
