Best Pass Rushers?

Who do you guys rate as the top 3-5 pass rushers, assuming Myles Garett is #1/

If we don't get him, who'd be other options in the 1st and other rounds???

Thoughts?

Jonathan Allen, Derek Barnett, Tim Williams, Devonte Fields, Carl Lawson. This class is stacked with good pass rushers.
I like Derek Barnett from Tennessee. Very productive in the SEC
As far as pure pass rush skill at edge it goes

Garrett
Tim Williams
Takk McKinley
Carl Lawson
Derek Barnett
Charles Harris

All em them are first round talents.

If we don't get Garrett, Harris will be available later. He isn't having a very good year. Williams, Lawson and Barnett will go in the first. Don't know much about McKinley.
Ryan Anderson from Alabama is a solid 3/4 OLB pass rusher. He is projected to be drafted in the second or third round, so he could be had later in the draft if we elect not to address our pass rushing needs with our first or second picks.

McKinley has 10 sacks this year for UCLA. He has good speed, uses his hands, and is relentless. I've always assumed he'd be a day 2-3 guy, but apparently McShay thinks he has top 50 potential and some scout drew comparisons to DeMarcus Ware. He's from Richmond and was originally committed to Cal (grades).

Myles Garrett is the man no doubt, but let's give some credit to Daeshon Hall too.

I'd go:

Myles Garrett
Charles Harris
Takkarist McKinley
Daeshon Hall

A little overrated IMO. He's a good pass rusher, but not a great one. I think a good comparison is Andre Carter.

Can't (or won't) set the edge against the run, too.

This is true. At his size, he should be much better against the run. Still a good prospect; he belongs in the 30s or 40s IMO. Maybe another Kony Ealy.
