There have even been rumors that Jordan is on the trade block, as exemplified by Bob Grotz of The Mercury. With the 31st pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys continued to invest in the offensive line, taking center Travis Frederick from Wisconsin with that selection. Hayden was a questionable decision by the Raiders. Out 2020 draft has been graded very highly. Moving away from Jarvis Jones wouldn't help either. 1 overall draft pick. The Vikings are still in the process of developing Rhodes, but he's shown flashes of brilliance. Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report/NBC Sports caught my attention with this one: Rudy Gobert probably goes #1 if you redid the 2013 draft with 100% hindsight, right? With the 2013 NFL Draft just around the corner, we need to start looking at all the information we have and start preparing for our rookie drafts that could make or break your dynasty or redraft teams. The Chargers made a fine draft pick in D.J. New England has Rob Gronkowski, but the Patriots have done well with two good tight ends in the past. Instead, they have to sweat out 30 picks before going with a player at a position of lesser need. This is a case of everyone except the Bills knowing that EJ Manuel was a massive gamble in the first round. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2440474-re-drafting-the-2013-nfl-draft Unable to move up for their man, the Falcons take what they can get here at No 30. 2013 Pick: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan, 2014 Mulligan: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M. 2013 Pick: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State, 2014 Mulligan: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU. In 2013, the Falcons knew the retirement of Tony Gonzalez was coming but failed to address the position. 2014 Mulligan: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. One had it ranked first, the other had it ranked second. Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd was disappointing as a rookie. It's not fair to call Milliner a bust due to his myriad injuries—he's played just eight games the past two years—but the Jets would certainly like a do-over on this selection all the same. But in 2014, he earned a starting job, and by the end of 2015, he had established himself as one of the elite linemen in the game. Despite his talent, it was a bizarre risk to take early in the first round. What was once panned as a reach is now out of reach for New York, which needs help on that offensive line as a result. But during his first full season as a starter in 2014, Hankins was a force to be reckoned with on the Giants defensive line. Would that this were true, the fantasy football implications would be enormous. Namely, the offensive line still needs plenty of work. 8 pick. Jonathan Cooper was a nice pick for the Cardinals at No. Rice's legal issues—not to mention apparent decline last season, given he averaged 2.9 yards per carry—and Pierce's sophomore slump have raised questions about the backfield in Baltimore, though, and how could we let the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year slide out of the first round? In the months leading up to the draft, Star Lotulelei was viewed as a potential No. To make matters worse, the division-rival New England Patriots landed Jamie Collins in the second round, a similar athlete to Jordan who has developed into a superstar and one of the leaders of New England's defense. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes, meanwhile, was a fine rookie cornerback last season. Instead, Mathieu was the best rookie defensive back in the league, able to play free safety and cornerback with ease and aplomb. Hopkins had his moments last season, but poor quarterback play ultimately killed the Texans and Hopkins' rookie season. Like in Kansas City, the Jaguars are in a tough position here at the top of the draft. New Orleans essentially reshirted Armstead as a rookie, giving him snaps in just six games and only inserting him into a starting role twice. Namely, the cornerback position has fallen victim to age and injuries. So since we're now three years removed from the 2013 NFL draft, it's time to look back. Granted, there is plenty of youth there with Kenny Stills and Nick Toon around, but how could New Orleans resist taking Tavon Austin at this point? The Dolphins shocked the NFL world last year by moving all the way up to No. Sylvester Williams is a fine rotational player on that defensive line, but just think of what the Broncos offense might look like with Giovani Bernard back there. Revised Pick: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame. He showcased some of that as a rookie despite lack of usage early in the season, particularly as a kick returner. Bleacher Report 2018 NFL Draft: Redraft : When they speak publicly, general managers won't admit to the desire to pick a different player in hypothetical re-draft scenarios. The Chargers have desperately tried to turn Fluker into a serviceable starter, testing him out at left tackle, right tackle and right guard over the past three seasons. Like Ansah, Mingo fell quite away in the draft. In other, less obvious situations, the best available player will trump team needs. Chris Roling of Bleacher Report takes a look back at the 2018 NFL Draft, to do a complete redraft. The Rams, drafting from St. Louis back in 2013, had the opportunity to pair up the Long brothers but opted for speedster Tavon Austin instead. Warmack is especially effective in the run game, which would have made him an ideal fit for Los Angeles as it builds around Todd Gurley. The rookie caught just 39 passes for 445 yards and two touchdowns on the year. Warford wasn't hyped much coming out of Kentucky, but the Detroit Lions found themselves a steal last year in the big offensive lineman. Of course, we could go in a different direction and just push offensive tackle to the top of the draft-need pile for the 2014 class, but which player is worth selecting No. Since getting his life in order, he's been among the most dominant defensive backs in the league, primarily playing safety for the Cardinals. To combat the mistake of selecting Hayden, the Raiders were forced to dish out a massive contract to free-agent Sean Smith this past offseason and may also be in the market for another cornerback in the 2016 draft. They don't play the same position, but Cooper presents great value here for the Giants, who could use another guard despite signing Geoff Schwartz this offseason. Alas, Austin was swiped out from under them. The Patriots were unable to pull one of their patented draft-day trades in this redraft, so they took what was given here. Actual Pick: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina, Revised Pick: Ryan Schraeder, OT, Valdosta State. Of course, stacking Elam up against the legendary Ed Reed, whom he replaced, might skew perception a bit. Fast-forward to today, when the Cardinals need to address the right tackle position. Elam wasn't dazzling as a rookie, but he was decent in Baltimore's defensive backfield. Meanwhile, their first-round pick, Jarvis Jones, continues to struggle. Opinions of players with rise and fall in the coming years, but after three full seasons, we have a strong grasp on who the top players are and which prospects have turned into busts. Actual Pick: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington, Revised Pick: Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati. Milliner was a disappointment for most of last season, however. Bleacher Report is in re-draft mode and they have recently tackled the task of redrafting the first round of the 2007 and 2008 NFL drafts.. Those … The Patriots brought Ryan along slowly, only inserting him into a starting role for seven games through his first two seasons. In 2013, the Jaguars were in the beginning stages of a rebuilding process under new head coach Gus Bradley and general manager David Caldwell. The talented receiver out of Tennessee was raw, to be sure, but his upside was incredible. In his re-draft of the 2010 NFL Draft, Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport has JPP going off the board to Jacksonville at No. The Cardinals have since traded Cooper to the Patriots in a deal that brought them pass-rusher Chandler Jones. The Bills don't have a massive need at wide receiver, but adding one in this redraft allows them to focus on a different position in the second round instead of taking Robert Woods. It might seem like an unnecessary pick to take a tight end here, but the Patriots are no stranger to unconventional wisdom. With Ogletree already off the board in this redraft, the Rams settle for an upgrade to the offensive line. D.J. 2014 Mulligan: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia. Jonathan Cyprien was a small-school darling out of FIU who wound up being drafted in the early part of the second round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taking a role player like Austin and failing to upgrade the offensive line has haunted the Rams since, as they continue to struggle to put together a quality unit. Through three seasons, Hayden has started just 23 games and is coming off a season in which he ranked 105th out of 111 qualifying cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus. Fluker would solve that problem here, allowing the Dolphins some flexibility in this year's draft. Jordan is a phenomenal athlete, but Miami barely used him last year. 76 overall to No. Mathieu sat out the entire 2012 college football season and eventually slipped to the third round of the draft. At 6'1", Rhodes has impressive length and often lines up against opposing No. Xavier Rhodes is having a decent career in Minnesota and would likely still be a viable option for the Vikings to consider with this pick in a redraft. The rookie leader in sacks last season would be a boon to the Cowboys, who had to let DeMarcus Ware go in free agency this season. With Joeckel gone to the Chiefs here, the Jaguars would be in dire straits at offensive tackle. In hindsight, Richardson could have easily shifted to defensive end and played the same role as Ansah early in his career. The Vikings have been searching for a strong safety to start next to Smith but still haven't found the right fit. Unless his career takes a dramatic turn in a positive direction, Jordan will go down as one of the legendary busts in franchise history. Mingo had twice as many sacks as a rookie—five, which is admittedly not much—and he is simply more athletic with bigger upside. We are getting to the point in this exercise where teams that found value are losing out on the prospects they stole in the 2013 draft. Unfortunately, the Cardinals weren't able to see the fruits of their first-round draft pick last season because of a preseason injury that knocked Cooper out for the season. Tennessee would certainly feel better about its ability to protect Marcus Mariota with Frederick at center. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2049345-re-drafting-the-2013-nfl-draft Through his first two seasons in Washington, Jordan Reed was underutilized and forced to share time with Logan Paulsen and Niles Paul. He's started 44 games in three years and was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2015. The big offensive lineman was a solid right tackle in San Diego, and he was nearly the pick here. And while Patterson has been a special teams asset, he's struggled to make an impact on offense. Most notably, this draft held a future league MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who went 15th overall. Without Rhodes, a weak secondary gets even weaker in Minnesota. Datone Jones has been a productive reserve for the Packers, but obviously GM Ted Thompson had higher hopes for his first-round pick. Naturally, this is a perfect time to revisit the 2013 class. 2013 NFL Mock Re-Draft - 2/23 2017 NFL Draft Re-Grades for Each First-Round Pick - 2/16 Teams Expect Lots of Trades in the 2018 NFL Draft - 1/26 Bell has missed time in his career due to injuries and suspensions, but when he's on the field, he's arguably the most dominant running back in the game. 3 to draft outside linebacker Dion Jordan, a move anticipated by few and perplexing a year later. Offensive guard Larry Warford is the second third-round pick to rise all the way into the first round in this redraft. Philadelphia does have a need at outside linebacker, and removing offensive tackle Lane Johnson from the equation creates another. The Steelers could use help at linebacker, sure. But even with that knowledge, it would be tough to pass up DeAndre Hopkins in a redraft. Lacy bulldozed his way to 1,435 total yards and 11 touchdowns en route to his award, proving his detractors wrong in the process. But a draft class can't truly be evaluated until at least three years down the road. Determining where to place Eddie Lacy in a redraft was a difficult task. What players did they miss out on in the later rounds? Terron Armstead was a third-round selection of the Saints out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and was strictly a developmental prospect. The now longtime Eagles tackle, he started his career with the Bills as an undrafted rookie free agent from Arkansas and the Lions take him No. But it has to be frustrating for the organization watching Ansah develop into a star, racking up 30 sacks in his three years in Detroit. In fact, Ansah recorded more sacks during his rookie year (eight) than Mingo has in his entire NFL career (seven). Revised Pick: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington. Unlike most of the redraft selections, this isn't a case of hindsight being 20/20. No matter, there are more pressing needs in St. Louis. He may not have had that chance to prove himself last year in a crowded backfield, but Lacy would be a significant upgrade at this point. Frederick has developed into arguably the best center in the game and anchors one of the best offensive lines in football. When the ball is in the air, there are few receivers more dangerous than Hopkins due to his great hands and ability to position himself to make the catch. Matt Miller's Midseason 2013 NFL Re-Draft - Bleacher Report Coming out of Missouri Southern, Baltimore eased Williams into the NFL and didn't insert him into a starting role until his second season. Three years later, Dallas gets the last laugh. Lotulelei was one of the top 20 defensive tackles in the league according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Revised Pick: Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin. It turned out the Chiefs felt differently. The talented linebacker out of Oregon was a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate for much of the season after amassing a whopping 159 total tackles as a rookie. They traded left tackle Eugene Monroe away because of his impending free agency. In their defense, neither of the first two offensive linemen selected in 2013—Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel—would be in consideration for this pick in a redraft. Rather than regrade the 2013 draft class, we'll look at it from the perspective a redraft. More to the point, Gronkowski's injury concerns have some thinking the Patriots will take a tight end in the first round of the 2014 draft. There was no way of knowing Jermichael Finley would have a horrific injury last season. Head coach Sean Payton knows a thing or two about maximizing offensive potential in New Orleans, and Austin would be a fantastic addition there. Enter Jonathan Cooper, offensive guard out of North Carolina. He caught just 52 passes for 802 yards and two touchdowns. But Darius Slay has developed into a difference-maker in Detroit and appears to be on the cusp of establishing himself as one of the elite cornerbacks in the league. One of the most shocking first-round picks in 2013 was the Cowboys' selection of Frederick with the 31st pick. Over the past two seasons, Collins has three interceptions, 9.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles. In 2015, however, Ryan made significant strides, starting 14 games with four interceptions and a career-high 58 tackles. 2015 brought more disappointment, as Elam missed the entire year with a biceps tear, and his future with the Ravens is now in question. Dallas got the last laugh, however. In the end, this isn't just about the beginning of the 2014 season. 2014 Mulligan: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee. The Georgia product wasn't terribly good as a rookie, though, and Pittsburgh has a much bigger need at cornerback right now. In recent drafts, quarterbacks were the sought-after position in the first round with players like Cam … 3 last year to the Dolphins, who made a surprising move up to get him. There is a reason he was in the running for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller immediately called it one of the worst picks of the draft. The Bengals miss out on their Pro Bowl tight end in this redraft but are able to replace Eifert with one of the best up-and-coming tight ends in the game. For example, the Vikings won't be given a running back because they clearly wouldn't have drafted one in the first round with Adrian Peterson already in place. Given his early-career success and potential to revert back to that form with improved training, it's likely a team would still take a chance on Lacy in the late first round in a redraft. Also, the teams could only draft current NBA players, so they couldn't draft a retired player like Michael Jordan or a college player like Andrew Wiggins. The former Georgia cornerback was a Pro Bowler with the Bears in 2012 and 2013. But he remains a quality starter and would have been a great fit in Green Bay's secondary. The Giants should be perfectly satisfied with their original selection of Pugh, but he wouldn't still be on the board in a redraft. This is purely a best-player-available situation at this point for the Rams, who aren't in dire need of a linebacker. And these are important because they give us some context when looking back at the class years later. 2014 Mulligan: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State. He proved himself as a rookie with the Eagles, catching 36 passes for 469 yards and four touchdowns despite limited duty in a crowded tight end corps. In hindsight, Buffalo would have been much better off upgrading the offense with another skill position player. Coming out of Clemson there were concerns about Hopkins' lack of speed, but he more than makes up for it with his technique. He went undrafted out of Valdosta State in 2013 before signing with the Falcons. The talented outside linebacker would be a better fit in Ryan's defense too. Just imagine what he could accomplish in Kelly's offense. That is where Eric Reid comes in. 8 last year. After a stellar rookie year, Reid's production has dipped along with the talent around him in San Francisco. The Falcons landed one of the best values of the first round with Desmond Trufant at No. Due to injuries, the Giants shuffled him around to various spots in 2015, and he held his own at guard and even left tackle. On one more Bills-related note in the re-draft, another player Buffalo picked up from that year’s draft is a new first-round pick: offensive lineman Jason Peters. The 2013 draft order has been left intact based on the order the teams selected. Bakhtiari on the roster as insurance behind the since-retired, Ryan Schraeder was barely a fringe prospect in 2013, ranking as the 39th-best offensive tackle in the draft, according to, Schraeder not only earned a roster spot in Atlanta, but he started four games for the Falcons in 2013. Through his first three seasons, Hopkins has steadily improved and now ranks among the elite receivers in the game. Keenan Allen would have been in contention to be the top receiver drafted were it not for a knee injury that likely precipitated a poor combine and draft season in general. A rebuilding organization shouldn't take a developmental prospect in the top 10, which is exactly the trap the Browns fell into in 2013. It was a bit of a reach in the minds of many, but Pugh quickly proved the doubters wrong last season. Without him, however, the Texans are back to one elite but aging receiver in Andre Johnson. The Giants have been searching for a playmaker at linebacker for years, and Ogletree would have filled that void. The Saints could have done worse than Vaccaro, who has been a reliable starter in their secondary for the past three seasons. The Lions seem to be in perpetual need of help in the secondary.
