Should Browns consider Derek Barnett at No. 1?

It has become widely accepted that the Cleveland Browns will select Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett with the No. 1 overall selection of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The Browns desperately need a disruptive force on defense, so unless head coach Hue Jackson falls in love with a quarterback – or the Browns trade out of the top spot – Garrett seems like the safe pick.

But could the Browns be missing an even better opportunity by overlooking Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett?
