NFL DRAFT PREVIEW APRIL 27-29 PHILADELPHIA Myles Garrett DL, 6-4, 272, Texas A&M Notable: All-American last season and one of the best pass rushers in the country despite some nagging injuries. Scouting report: Elite speed, quickness and strength adds up to a potentially dominant pass rusher with only the need to stay on the field more. Outlook: Odds on favorite to be No. 1 overall pick. Solomon Thomas DL, 6-3, 273, Stanford Notable: Pac-12 defensive player of the year in 2016 and has been gaining steam in the postseason draft process. Scouting report: Gets rid of blockers with strength and quickness, though he might need to add some bulk and power to handle massive NFL linemen. Outlook: Top-five proba- ble. Top-10 seems like a lock. Jamal Adams S, 6-0, 214, LSU Notable: Son of former Kentucky running back George Adams, who played for the New York Giants. Scouting report: Adams gets high marks for leadership, on top of elite athletic ability, and makes it difficult to find flaws here. Outlook: Adams won't go first overall, but he can make the case. Jonathan Allen DL, 6-3, 286, Alabama Notable: Finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2016 and won two defensive player of the year awards (Bednar- ik and Nagurski). Scouting report: A funda- mentally sound and furious competitor, who can play inside and out, but not ideal length on the edge. Outlook: If Allen slips out of the top-10, it won't be very far. Malik Hooker S, 6-1, 206, Ohio State Notable: Hooker was a Division I basketball prospect coming out of high school and started just one season at Ohio State. Scouting report: Side- line-to-sideline range and excellent instincts in the passing game, but needs improvement playing close to the line. Outlook: Safeties are not often selected in the top-10. Hooker and Adams are likely to buck that trend.
