For the better part of a year (maybe longer), the NFL Draft analyst community has been treating one shared opinion as mathematical certainty: that Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is the best player in the class and a no-brainer to be drafted first overall.
Garrett has been described as "generational" and a "freak" athlete, and has drawn comparisons to NFL Hall of Famer and official all-time sack leader Bruce Smith. Dare to question Garrett's production - he logged 4.5 of his 8.5 sacks last season in a single game against Texas-San Antonio - and one is likely to be summarily dismissed to "watch the tape" or reminded that Garrett suffered an early-season ankle injury, and presumably played through some pain.
