2017 NFL Mock Draft: Bears and Colts Shake Up Top 5

OLB. Texas A&amp;M. Myles Garrett . 2. player. 35. The rule of thumb when it comes to trading up in the draft is it better be for a significant player that can change the course of the franchise. Myles Garrett is already becoming the unquestioned top prospect of the 2017 class. Even though Tennessee gives up their extra first-round pick and another third in 2018, they still have a dearth of extra picks at their disposal. This is the kind of move that can jump start their fortunes. <p>The defense has taken some significant steps forward under the guidance of old master defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. There are still some key pieces missing though. Topping the list is a surefire edge rusher opponents will have to game plan for. Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo are decent players, but they aren’t of that caliber.</p> <p>Garrett is. He is the most physically gifted pass rusher to grace college football since Jadeveon Clowney. A tremendous athlete with the size and strength for defensive end but has the bend and athleticism for outside linebacker. He can fit in any scheme and knows how to get after the quarterback. First-step quickness and lower body explosion are also highlights of his game. Just an all-around exciting player.</p>
