Myles Garrett plans to stay at home for 2017 NFL Draft

I find it such a non-event and you've got people tweeting him about breaking his leg at the Combine. I guess that stirs something in me.

 

It's certainly not the smartest thing he could've done with his day but he didn't exact Dri Archer it and say that he wouldn't play for anyone but his boyhood team. The Browns can't afford to get butthurt over this, they can't overthink it. So what if the fans hate him? Within a few weeks, he sacks Dalton and Roethlisberger and they'll forget all about it. As a fan base, they've forgot worse.

People on Tweeter are insane is the major takeaway.

When they are about to be your bosses and teammates, it's not.

 

If I'm Cleveland, I avoid this dude. Trade to 3 or 4 and take a QB you like.

If I'm a team that thinks Cleveland is trading out because of this, then I'm offering less for the pick.

Myles Garrett said he was a little caught off guard by the national reaction to his video of him jokingly pleading the Dallas Cowboys to draft him. "I've already said I like the Cowboys because that's my hometown team. But I want to go No. 1. Whoever that is, if that's Cleveland, I have no problem going up there and playing with them. I'm going to love whatever team and organization that I'm a part of."

Zeke pleaded for the cowboys to draft him too and it worked. Still, they didn't need to trade up to do so. This is tacky and not a good way to start off with your new franchise. Perhaps he will luck out and the Browns trade the pick but he should stfu.

 

Rite. Lets see how this plays out. Now we should laugh if the Browns draft him. Which I hope they should, takes a team away from the top 2 QBs

Jim Kelly didn't want to play in Buffalo. It happens.

Neither did Tom Couseneau, Gary Anderson, and Joe Cribbs.

Cornelius Bennett didn't want to play for the Colts.

Elway didn't want to either.

Eli Manning didn't want to play for the Chargers.

Well well well

 

Asked what he felt he had to do to be the No. 1 pick, Garrett said “dominate here and not make any more crazy videos.”

 

The Browns, who hold the No. 1 pick, probably feel obliged to ask Garrett about the video that surfaced on ESPN.com in which Garrett jokingly asked the Cowboys, his hometown team, to draft him. Garrett said he had a formal interview planned with the Browns Saturday night and planned to offer an apology for that video during the meeting. He also called that video his biggest regret.
