Ranking the last five first overall picks in the NFL draft continued.
# 3 - Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals


The first pick in the 2019 draft has shown just what a supreme dual-threat quarterback he is. Equally adept at throwing the football as he is running it, Murray is a special talent.

His ability to evade pressure is as good as anyone in the game, and when that is combined with his ability to throw the ball deep, Arizona has its quarterback for the next decade. The franchise will have to work out the second half of the season fadeouts, but Murray is a top-tier quarterback, make no mistake.
# 2 - Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals
Few would have predicted the rise of Burrow after his nasty ACL injury in his rookie year of 2020. But the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft showcased his supreme talent in 2021.
He led the Bengals all the way to the Super Bowl, where they ultimately lost to Matthew Stafford and the Rams. Burrow can do it all. He has a great arm, can run it and is great at the line of scrimmage. He finished last season completing 70.4% of his passes, along with 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Burrow is a star.
# 1 - Myles Garrett - Cleveland Browns

The first pick from the 2017 draft is scary on the football field. Since coming into the league, Garrett has had double-digit sacks in four of his five seasons.
In 2021, Garrett totalled 16 sacks in his 17 games, along with a forced fumble and 33 quarterback hits. Often needing a double team to stop him, Garrett is the true definition of a game-wrecker and is the best first overall draft pick of the last five years.
