The Cleveland Browns have used the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to add former Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett to their defensive front seven.
It's no surprise as Garrett was projected by most to be the No. 1 overall selection. The Browns were rumored to be picking between Garrett and North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
Some have criticized Garrett for taking plays off at times, but most agree he was the best player available in the 2017 NFL Draft. Plus, he loves tacos.
The Browns also have the No. 12 pick in the draft and could trade up if they still want to grab Trubisky.
