Hypothetical: We trade up to No.2 and Browns pass on Garrett - Garrett or Fournette

[Reebis21]

Prior to clicking on this thread, I thought this question was a joke...then the first couple of responses were advocating Fournette and that's when I realized this wasn't a joke...

[therealmjl]

Garrett by a landslide smh

[caatfan]

These two may both turn out to be exceptional players, but Garrett is likely to be top rate for a lot longer than a RB.

[Bronn]

Both are generational talents, but Garrett by a mile.

[Saca312]

This isn't even a question.

Garrett hands down.

Garrett is the best talent in this draft.  Having him learn from some of our vet DEs while on the cheap?  Yes, that's hard to beat.

I love Fournette.  I don't think Cleveland can screw this up by skipping Garrett, but if they did, we'd jump up there to claim him.  

[Catufb85]

Fournette would be my choice. Let the huddlers seek their pitchforks lol.

Garrett being mentored by Julius Peppers gives me absolute cold chills. If we managed to pick him up Id soil myself on the spot.

Myles Garrett. He has the body of a sack master. We know what that looks like and what it can mean for a 4-3 defense that relies on pressure from the front 4. The Carolina Panthers cannot pass on Garrett is he becomes available unless some team offers an outrageous deal. fug Fournette if Garrett is there.

Fug yo couch Fournette!

Neither is worth trading up that high for. We're trying to better the whole team, not better one position

I tell you one thing, nvm I'll make a thread on Thursday

[pantherj]

Fournette is a beast who can truck DBs and LBs and also run away from them and leave them in the dust. Fantastic.

But Garrette, once he has an offseason of weight training, should be able to rush the passer and rack up vicious sacks and consistent pressure. Add him to our already very good d-line and you pretty much take away opposing teams ability to throw the deep ball as much as they want. That means less points, and more turnovers for our opposition. Perfect because we're not a high flying offense.

Respect your intelligence but I think there's a legit question here.  

I would take fournette.  I think he is less of a risk.  Myles garrett could bust.  Happens all the time with these "can't miss" DE's.  if you're picking #2  priority number 1 is picking a player that is GOING to return on investment.  You have a higher chance of that by picking fournette than picking Garrett.   Now,  I'm  NOT saying that fournette couldn't bust,  but I'm saying if we're playing roulette I'm putting my chips on fournette if we talking #2 pick in the draft.  Stakes are too high.  Go with the surer thing.

Illuminating thread. Found some sanjay alts pop up for sure. 

 

This isn't Courtney Brown here folks. Garrett is a guy that can effect so much more than Fournette. Did we not learn in the SB what a top pass rusher can do to completely shut down an offense? Fournette unlike Zeke, isn't getting the best line in 20 years to play behind. Add Garrett and you could be talking about the best Dline in the salary cap era, no offense Texans.
