2. player. 59. . Defensive End/EDGE. Miami Dolphins. Myles Garrett

The Miami Dolphins defense isn’t their weakness. But it’s simply too hard to pass up on Texas A&M pass-rusher Myles Garrett at No. 2.

Garrett is the type of player teams can build around, and he’s the clear-cut best defensive option within the draft. And with veteran defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh turning 30 years old next season, the time might be now to start working in an up-and-coming replacement.

Again, I’m not sure Miami finishes with the No. 2 overall pick this year. Remember, power rankings are the current given.

If the Dolphins wind up owning the second pick in the NFL Draft, Garrett has to be the guy.
