There’s no telling exactly which team will take which player, but Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is likely to be the first overall pick in 2017. Other players like Alabama defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, LSU running back Leonard Fournette and Alabama tight end O.J. Howard all have the potential to go early as well, but quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and Deshaun Watson might end up sneaking into a higher draft pick than expected if a team decides that it desperately needs a QB.
