Okay now is time to post scouting videos of Myles Garrett. The second the Cleveland Browns lost their 15th game of the season, I fully expected Myles Garrett would be the #1 pick. His physical tools are exceptional. But the more I watched film on this guy, the receipts didn't match his hyped price tag.

To go further, the guy looks ordinary A LOT. It's almost shocking how ordinary this guy looks for most parts of a 4 quarter game.

To start Myles Garrett film review, what better game to watch than the 2015 game between Texas A&M vs Auburn and the Browns 2016 3rd round pick, Shon Coleman.





If you don't want to watch the whole game, let me give a summary of Myles Garrett performance:

1st half - Invisible
2nd half - Invisible

1 tackle... which was 25 yards down field.

There ya go. Thanks for coming.

In this game, Auburn gave Garrett no extra attention. Ran at him. Took advantage of Garrett's over-pursuit the whole game.

Shon Coleman put on a clinic. Browns getting him in the 3rd round was a steal.

Bottom line for this game, and for Garrett in general, is that he's a finesse player who needs space to impact the game. If an OL gets hands on him he's 100% ineffective. Not only that, when engaged with an OL, he seems to quit on plays while getting pushed around.

I have no doubt the Browns drafted Coleman largely due to how he made Garrett disappear for a full 60 minutes game.

There's no way the Browns didn't have a higher grade on Joey Bosa than Garrett and they didn't stay @ #2 to draft him last year.

Browns ain't drafting Myles Garrett with the #1 pick in a NFL Draft.

In my humble opinion, this guy is the best pure pass rusher in the draft


I need to wait till the combine to see his explosiveness numbers.

Effort is great, still need explosion and ability to get off the ball.

Malik McDowell is the most talented DL in this draft. Dude is only 20.

Ok, bay-bay
I'm tellin y'all. LSU pro-style offense have made it to where their skill players skill-set translate great in the pros. Go look at OBJ, Jarvis Laundry, Spencer Ware, Alfred Blue. Look at their tape now and look at their tape in college. Their skill set in the pros look nearly identical to what they were doin at LSU.

I like Fournette but I don't see him staying away from nagging injuries during his pro career. He likes contact and he'll get that and then some in the league.

There will be other RBs in this draft with just as good of a career as Fournette.

There is no value for taking Fournette in the top 10 picks.

Fournette is the best player in this draft, only people who nitpick his game say otherwise.

Not even close.

Even if I'm generous to him I can think of 5 players that are vastly better.

Fournette reminds me of Ricky Williams. He'll be a good NFL player. But I don't think he'll be transcendent.

Myles Garrett is the only sure-fire transcendent talent in this draft class.
