2012 NFL Re-Draft

If each NFL team could go back and redraft after the 2012 season, I am guessing that the majority of the teams would choose differently in the 1st round. Here is my projections for the 2012 NFL Redraft! (teams slotted in original drafting position and Josh Gordon was not allowed to be drafted because he was a supplemental pick)

1 Colts
- Andrew Luck QB

I think they are more than pleased with their pick. 

2 Rams
- Robert Griffin III  QB

Same pick. Different Team. No way Rams trade this pick after seeing what RG3 can do. 

3 Vikings
- Matt Kalil  OT

When you make the correct selection the 1st time, there is no reason to redo it

4 Browns
- Russell Wilson QB

The Browns FINALLY find their franchise QB. 

5 Buccaneers
- Doug Martin RB

The Bucs get their same man but they have to pick him 26 spots earlier. Proved to be most explosive RB in draft. 

6 Redskins
- Alfred Morris RB

The 6th round pick becomes the 6th overall pick this time around. Without RG3, the Redskins can still have a stabilized running game thanks to Morris. 

7 Jaguars
- Justin Blackmon WR

Really came on in the second half of the season to show that he has serious long term potential and will become an explosive option for the Jags

8 Dolphins
- Luke Kuechly LB

The Cincy kid won Defensive ROY, it only makes sense he is the first defensive player off the board. 

9 Panthers
- Bobby Wagner LB

Arguably had a better first campaign than Kuechly. Will be making plays for years. 

10 Bills
- Alfonzo Dennard CB

When you play the Patriots twice, you better have good defensive backs.

11 Chiefs 
- Fletcher Cox DT

The Chiefs have surprising fire power on offense, but need better athletes on defense. 

12 Seahawks
- T.Y. Hilton WR

T.Y. gives Matt Flynn a speed option to go along with Sidney Rice and Golden Tate. 

13 Cardinals
- Trent Richardson RB

Injury prone Beanie Wells is to big of a question mark to pass on a talent like Richardson. 

14 Cowboys
- Janoris Jenkins CB

After throwing a lot of money at Brandon Carr, the addition of Jenkins will help the Cowboys to defend against the talent passing games of the Eagles and Giants 4 games a year. 

15 Eagles
- Lavonte David LB

Linebackers are key to any defense being dominant and David is a great centerpiece to build a defense around. 

16 Jets
- Vontaze Burfict LB

The days of the Jets having the nasty, hard hitting, and feared defense have past and there is no better player in this draft to bring that tough mindset back than Burfict.

17 Bengals
- Casey Hawyard CB

Great defensive line. Old secondary. Hawyard, who led all Rookies in interceptions, will help to liven up the back end of the defense. 

18 Chargers
- Jonathan Martin OT

Philip Rivers was on his back far too often this season due to a horrible offensive line, and while Martin can not block everyone, at least Rivers will know he will have protection from one spot. 

19 Bears
- Mitchell Schwartz OT

Jay Cutler was on his back far too often this season due to a horrible offensive line, and while Schwartz can not block everyone, at least Cutler will know he will have protection from one spot. Sound familiar?

20 Titans
- Bruce Irvin DE/LB

Character issues behind Irvin, he is the most explosive hybrid player in the draft and will bring some new life to the Titans. 

21 Bengals
- Harrison Smith S

The Bengals continue to revamp their secondary while building one of the strongest units in the NFL. A must if you wish to compete in the Winter months in the AFC North. 

22 Browns
- Mark Barron S

The run on safeties continue as the Browns get some help for TJ Ward at the safety position. 

23 Lions
- Chandler Jones DE

Explosive offense. Porous defense. Jones will help sure up things on that side of the ball. 

24 Steelers 
- Vick Ballard RB

Injury prone Mendenhall has neither proven he can stay healthy or be successful. Time for the Steelers to give Ben a solid running game. 

25 Broncos
- Derrick Wolfe DT

There are not a lot of holes for the Broncos, but the biggest that needed filled was the interior defensive line. The high energy and effort filled Wolfe will shine in Mile High.

26 Texans
- Dont'a Hightower LB

All pros at QB, RB, and WR means that you better build a defense to help establish a winner. Hightower will help Houston to get closer to that Super Bowl. 

27 Patriots
- Stephon Gilmore CB

With the amount of points that the offense scores, the defense must be prepared and able to defend against the pass in high volumes nearly every week. Gilmore will make it difficult on opposing offenses in obvious passing downs. 

28 Packers
- Morris Claiborne CB

See the Patriots reasons. 

29 Ravens
- Courtney Upshaw DT

Another aging defense gets a little younger with the addition of Upshaw.

30 49ers
- Kendall Wright WR

The 49ers have completely revamped their offense to be speed, speed, and more speed. With that said, why not take the fastest receiver in the draft. Pairing Wright with Crabtree and the 49ers have an explosive young receiving tandem. 

31 Patriots
- Quinton Coples DE

We already discussed the high volume of passing plays that Patriot opponents run due to the high scoring Patriot offense so Coples will have lots of chances to get after the QB and record sacks. 

32 Giants
- Dwayne Allen TE

Martellus Bennett started the season well but is only on a one year contract. Allen looks like a budding star at TE and we all know how much Eli loves his TEs.
