Texas A&M. Myles Garrett. 1. player. 53. No doubt on this one. The Browns may look at a quarterback, but there isn’t one worthy of the number one overall selection. As the best combination of size, skill, athleticism and production at a premium position, Garrett is the pick. – Andrew Hanlon. Defensive End

Ohio State. Marshon Lattimore. 2. player. 42. The 2-14 49ers have a lot of needs. Cornerback is definitely one of them. Lattimore is an exceptional athlete with the speed to keep up as a number one corner. He was sidelined by injuries throughout his college career, so we haven’t seen close to his best football yet. – Thomas Friesen. Cornerback

player. 57. What they really could use is a young CB here, but after Lattimore went to the 49ers, the Bears would be better off grabbing one of the many guys at that position who could be around at the top of the second round and picking up an impact player for a different spot. Adams gives the team the sort of player who can immediately let them have a good three-safety rotation and provide them with an expected star for the foreseeable future for a team in desperate need of star power. Throughout college his all-around impact on defense lifted his units to a higher level, and he could do the same for the Bears. – Kenn Korb. Safety. LSU. Jamal Adams. 3

The Jaguars have no run game to speak of. Fournette is undeniably a rare talent. His mix of speed and power should make him a force for the Jaguars. – Ryan Schlipp. Running Back. LSU. Leonard Fournette. 4. player. 52
