Michigan's Rashan Gary may be the most polarizing player in this draft class outside of Okaloma quarterback Kyler Murray. Gary was a top recruit in 2016, and despite the hype, his college career was disappointing. In his three seasons at Michigan, Gary totaled 9.5 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in 34 games. That's not the kind of production that a first-round prospect should have, yet Gary is still getting first-round buzz.

Although he wasn't able to fully realize it (or even come close) in college, Gary has immense potential, arguably more than any other player in this draft. At 6-foot-4 and 277 pounds, Gary has ideal size for a defensive end, but he is best suited to play defensive tackle in the NFL. He has rare athleticism for his size, as he proved at the Combine.

Gary's combination of size, strength, and explosiveness make him a tantalizing prospect, but there is a massive risk in drafting him. His lack of production is extremely concerning, even though he was often double-teamed. He did not learn very many rush moves or counters, which begs the question of how effective coaching will be on him. He doesn't possess elite bend, so if he is played as an edge rusher, he won't be nearly as effective as he would be playing inside. He needs to be drafted into a situation where he can be coached well and use his strengths and versatility as efficiently as possible.

Here are three teams where he can do just that.

3. Cleveland Browns

General manager John Dorsey knows that the Browns need to upgrade their pass rush. The addition of Olivier Vernon fixes the problem on the edge, but now the focus turns to upgrading at defensive tackle.

Larry Ogunjobi is developing into one of the league's most disruptive 1-technique tackles, but Cleveland desperately needs a pass-rushing 3-tech. Houston's Ed Oliver seems like the perfect fit, but it's unlikely he will drop far enough for the Browns to take him. Gary has a much better chance of being available when Cleveland picks at 17, and would present a very interesting scenario.

If the Browns determine that the possible reward is worth the risk, Gary would be a very nice fit between Ogunjobi and Myles Garrett. Gary would be able to use his strength and athleticism to win one-on-one matchups and could move outside in certain situations.

2. Baltimore Ravens

Another AFC North team, the Ravens could be losing pass rusher Za'Darius Smith this offseason, and Terrell Suggs will turn 37 in October and is also a free agent. Baltimore should be looking for a replacement, and Gary would be an excellent project for defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

Gary would be able to rotate between OLB and DE just like he did in college, and depending on how they view his long-term fit, the Ravens could have him either gain some weight to stay at DE or lose some to make him a quicker OLB.

1. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks always seem to be able to get the most out of their talent, and finding a way to unlock Gary's potential would extend Seattle's Super Bowl window. Star DE Frank Clark is currently a free agent and has refused to play on the franchise tag, demanding a long-term deal.

Adding Gary makes sense whether the Seahawks retain Clark or decide they would rather not pay him long-term. With an excellent linebacker group and Jarran Reed in the middle, Seattle presents a great opportunity for Gary to move around and figure out where he will be best-served to play in the pros.

Clark, Gary, and Reed could easily combine for over 30 sacks per season, and defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. would likely be thrilled with a new versatile weapon to experiment with. If the top offensive lineman are gone and Gary is available at 21, it's hard to see the Seahawks passing on the athletic specimen.
