What Should The Browns Do With The First Pick?

It seems like the overall consensus is to take the defensive end from Texas A&M, Myles Garrett. I, however, believe they should take the best offensive playmaker available. I think that having another weapon to pair with Pryor (if he stays) would be more beneficial than drafting a defensive end. I would say take a QB with the first pick, but I'm not completely sold on any yet. The Browns track record with this also speaks for itself. Who knows what will end up happening? Odds are it will leave us scratching our heads though...


Barring a trade between now and April 27, Cleveland stands to have first crack at a potential franchise QB via the draft. The consensus for now, though, is that Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett will land in that No. 1 spot. Brown did say, without revealing any further specifics, that the Browns had an early order of preference in mind for the draft’s top quarterbacks.

Profile on Garrett:

Dynamic pass rusher with cat-like quickness and a non-stop motor. Garrett overwhelms offensive tackles with his unique combination of speed, quickness and power. He can turn the corner with a slippery dip-and-rip maneuver or attack blockers squarely with a butt-and-jerk move. Garrett's high-revving motor and relentless energy allow him to win after initially being neutralized at the line. With pass rushers coveted at a premium on draft day, and given Garrett's explosiveness, hand skills and takedown prowess, the Texas A&M product is widely considered the No. 1 overall prospect in this draft class.

Still pretty early but a lot can happen between now and the start of the draft. Interested to see if any trades go down that will allude to what the Browns are thinking.
