We saw this a few years ago during the 2022 NFL Draft when Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback taken in the first round, and he went 20th to the Steelers. That was a QB class widely considered to be weak.

When Myles Garrett requested to be traded from the Browns earlier this month, it sent shockwaves throughout the NFL. But there seems to be an unintended consequence of Garrett wanting to be dealt from the Browns.

Garrett is among the best defensive players in the league, having racked up 102.5 sacks in his career since he was the No. 1 pick in 2017. One of the most entertaining NFL parlor games of the past two weeks, then, has been to construct trades that would land Garrett with different contenders-- the Eagles, the Commanders, the Packers and so on.
