Are Browns cooling on DE Garrett? … Not so long ago, one of the givens of the 2017 draft was that Cleveland was enamored with Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett, who most analysts had rated as the clear, consensus top prospect for the upcoming draft. However, there is a bit of a buzz these days that the Browns may have cooled somewhat on Garrett. No question that Garrett is an explosive edge-rusher with a big upside, but there are soem issues with his consistency and his motor. It also didn’t help that Garrett, a Dallas native, made a public plea, albeit jokingly, to Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to make a trade to move him up and select him. At the same time, it appears that New England back-up Jimmy Garoppolo remains the Browns’ top target to address their issues at QB. And with a number of other teams with top picks also reportedly interested in Garoppolo themselves, it may be donning on the Browns that if they really want Garopollo they may have to use the #1 pick to get him.
