- Indianapolis Colts
Original Pick; Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
New Pick; Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin
Wilson has had a Hall of Fame worthy career while Luck peaked at being a Pro Bowl QB. Wilson is a big upgrade.
2. Washington Football Team
Original Pick; Robert Griffin lll, QB, Baylor
New Pick; Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
RG3 was a phenomenal playmaker his rookie year but injuries ended his career.
3. Cleveland Browns
Original Pick; Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
New Pick; Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
Kuechly was one of the smartest and hardest hitting linebackers of the 2010’s.
4. Minnesota Vikings
Original Pick; Matt Kalil, OT, USC
New Pick; Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
Cox is still causing disruption to this day. Kalil never reached his full potential in the NFL.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Original Pick; Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
New Pick; Chandler Jones, EDGE, Syracuse
Blackmon was suspended indefinitely in 2013 and was never given the opportunity to reach his full potential. Jones is a game wrecker with some of the best blitzing abilities in the league.
6. Dallas Cowboys
Original Pick; Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
New Pick; Bobby Wagner, LB, Utah State
The Cowboys swung and missed with this pick, and with a second opportunity pick a generational talent in Wagner.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Original Pick; Mark Barron; LB/DB, Alabama
New Pick; Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
Gilmore won a Defensive Player of the Year Award and Barron did not. One of those players is clearly better.
8. Miami Dolphins
Original Pick; Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
New Pick; Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State
Tannehill thrived once he left the Dolphins, the same can be said about Cousins after his stint with Washington.
9. Carolina Panthers
Original Pick; Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
New Pick; Melvin Ingram, EDGE, South Carolina
Kuechly is off the board so the Panthers go with plan B.
10. Buffalo Bills
Original Pick; Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
New Pick; LaVonte David, LB, Nebraska
This stellar linebacker class continues with David.
11. Kansas City Chiefs
Original Pick; Dontario Poe, DT, Memphis
New Pick; Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
The Chiefs would no longer need to trade for Alex Smith. Instead they get a young raw talent in Tannehill.
12. Philadelphia Eagles
Original Pick; Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
New Pick; Josh Norman, CB, Coastal Carolina
If the Eagles can get over Norman’s attitude issues they will receive a great lockdown corner.
13. Arizona Cardinals
Original Pick; Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
New Pick; Casey Heyward, CB, Vanderbilt
Heyward has been one of the most reliable corners since his career began.
14. Los Angeles Rams
Original Pick; Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
New Pick; Akiem Hicks, DT, Regina
While Hicks isn’t the best player available he fills a massive hole on the defensive line.
15. Seattle Seahawks
Original Pick; Bruce Irvin, EDGE, West Virginia
New Pick; Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame
While Irvin did have his moments, Smith in the legion of boom would have been a sight to see.
16. New York Jets
Original Pick; Quinton Coples, EDGE, North Carolina
New Pick; Mitchell Schwartz, OT, California
The Jets always have an awful offensive line. Schwartz would be a great start to changing that.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Original Pick; Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
New Pick; David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
The Bengals always have an awful offensive line. DeCastro would be a great start to changing that.
18. Los Angeles Chargers
Original Pick; Melvin Ingram, EDGE, South Carolina
New Pick; Dont’a Hightower, LB, Alabama
Hightower ran over opposing teams and was a huge difference maker.
19. Chicago Bears
Original Pick; Shea McClellin, LB, Boise State
New Pick; T.Y. Hilton, WR, FIU
Hilton is a dynamic playmaker and would help the Bears offense in the passing game.
20. Tennessee Titans
Original Pick; Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
New Pick; Olivier Vernon, EDGE, Miami
Wright was a disappointment while Vernon became a very underrated and valuable lineman.
21. New England Patriots
Original Pick; Chandler Jones; EDGE, Syracuse
New Pick; Brandon Brooks, OG, Miami Ohio
Adding to a spectacular offensive line seems to be the right move here.
22. Cleveland Browns
Original Pick; Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State
New Pick; Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
There are so many holes in this team but Jenkins patches up the secondary.
23. Detroit Lions
Original Pick; Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
New Pick; Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin
The Lions need to do anything they can to protect a young Matthew Stafford.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers
Original Pick; David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
New Pick; Damon Harrison, DT, William Penn
A run clogging defensive lineman is always welcome.
25. New England Patriots
Original Pick; Dont’a Hightower, LB, Alabama
New Pick; Alshon Jeffrey, WR, South Carolina
Another playmaker for the Patriots is always dangerous.
26. Houston Texans
Original Pick; Whitney Mercilus, LB, Illinois
New Pick; Bruce Irvin, EDGE, West Virginia
Irvin has more of a chance to shine with the Texans.
27. Cincinnati Bengals
Original Pick; Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin
New Pick; Kelechi Osemele, OG, Iowa State
With Zeitler off the board the Bengals go with the second option. Osemele and DeCastro would be fantastic.
28. Green Bay Packers
Original Pick; Nick Perry, LB, USC
New Pick; Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
A humungous gap filler, Poe would play well with the Packers.
29. Minnesota Vikings
Original Pick; Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame
New Pick; Whitney Mercilus, LB, Illinois
With Smith off the board the Vikings decide to take a different approach and take Mercilus.
30. San Francisco 49ers
Original Pick; A.J. Jenkins, WR, Illinois
New Pick; Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State
Besides the awful attitude and constant suspensions Burfict was a solid player.
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Original Pick; Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
New Pick; Nick Foles, QB, Arizona
2012 was Josh Freeman’s last decent season. The Bucs should jump aboard the Foles train as soon as possible.
32. New York Giants
Original Pick; David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech
New Pick; Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
The Giants get an upgrade at the running back position to finish off the redraft.
