Joe Haden doesn't want his team to overthink its No. 1 draft choice.

The Cleveland Browns cornerback told ESPN's Pat McManamon that his only request to the front office is to make Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett its first pick.

"After number one, I'm good," Haden said. "They can just do whatever they gotta do."

The Browns are reportedly split between Garrett and quarterback Mitch Trubisky at the first pick, though the consensus outside of their building is that they should take the edge rusher.

Haden hasn't just been listening to the draft experts when he said he'd be "super excited" to add Garrett. He's seen the film, too.

"Watching him on tape I just feel like he'll be an immediate impact player and I just feel like he'll be a guy that we could have rushing the passer for years to come," he said.
