Hindsight is 20/20.
(Not sure why it is not 20/10, but we will answer that another day)
What would the 2012 NFL Draft look like today after seeing players actual performance on Sundays? The 2012 NFL Draft Redux is here to answer that very question. Esteemed colleagues have joined in to re-draft the first round and provide quick commentary as to their selections. Follow along and join in the conversation with #2012NFLDraftRedux. Also follow all of our below participants on Twitter.
1. Colts ()
Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford. (Previous pick: Luck, Stanford)
2. Redskins ()
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor. (Previous pick: RG3, QB, Baylor)
3. Browns ()
Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin. (previous pick: Trent Richardson, RB, Bama)
: Most potential of what we've seen this year, best building block for a bad team.
@CorcoranNYC: I'd take him 2nd. with all due respect to RG3, I think Wilson's career will be longer.
4. Vikings ()
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M. (previous pick: Matt Kalil, OT, USC)
: Proving QB is still king, Luck, RG3, Russ Wilson & Tannehill off the board in succession. Baller.
: won't say Kalil wrong pick, but imo, take top QB when you can RT @r_mack Kalil has looked like a pro bowler. Franchise LT's hard to find too
5. Jaguars ()
Mo Claiborne, CB, LSU. (previous pick: Justin Blackmon, WR, OK State)
: Thought about Weeden at 5 but couldn't pass up the best player available
6. Cowboys ()
Matt Kalil, OT, USC. (previous pick: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU)
: With the 6th pick in the #2012NFLDraftRedux, the Cowboys select Matt Kalil…and kick Doug Free’s scrub ass inside where he belongs.
7. Buccaneers ():
Casey Hayward, CB, Vandy (previous pick: Mark Barron, S, Bama)
: Man. There is a LOT on the board at 7 in #2012NFLDraftRedux after QB's went 1-4.
: (Gave heavy thought to Richardson and Barron, as well.)
8. Dolphins ()
Josh Gordon, WR, Baylor. (Original pick: Ryan Tannehill, QB.)
Tough choice. Phins need QB but here would be a reach. Defense is a team strength. Desperately lack a #1 WR
"I don't need no stinking Supplemental Draft" - Josh Gordon
9. Panthers ()
Fletcher Cox, DT, Miss State (previous pick: Luke Keuchly, BC)
My
#2012NFLDraftRedux picks are based off of pre draft evaluations, rookie seasons and current needs. Makes for interesting results.
10. Bills ()
Luke Kuechly, LB, BC (previous pick: Stephon Gilmore, CB South Carolina)
11. Chiefs ()
Michael Brockers, DT, LSU (previous pick: Dontarie Poe, DT, Memphis)

: Seeing as how I can't stand sending Kolb or Skelton out on the field anymore...
14. Rams ()
Mitchell Schwartz, OT, Cal (previous pick: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU)
With the 14th pick in the #2012NFLDraftRedux, the Rams address a glaring ANNUAL need & select Mitchell Schwartz.
15. Seahawks ()
Bruce Irvin, DE, WV (previous pick: same)
16. Jets ()
Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama (previous pick: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina)
@BrendanLeister: The seem to have every need imaginable so I'll go BPA.
17. Bengals ()
Stephon Gilmore, CB, S.Carolina (Previous Pick: Kirkpatrick)
: I went with Gilmore over Zeitler & Martin. I had to take the premium position over RB or OG. Both top OGs available.
18. Chargers ()
Cordy Glenn, OT, Georgia. (previous pick: Melvin Ingram)
19. Bears ()
Kevin Zeitler, G Wisconsin (previous pick: Shea McClellin)
: The primary goal is to protect Jay Cutler, and basically, Kevin Zeitler > bubble wrap
20. Titans ()
Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama (previous pick: Kendall Wright).
21. Patriots ()
Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse (previous pick: Chandler Jones)
: No need to reinvent the wheel here. In Bill we trust.
22. Browns ()
Doug Martin, RB, Boise State (previous pick: Brandon Weeden, QB)
: the Cleveland Browns select The Muscle Hamster, Doug Martin. Scary pairing w/ R.Wilson.
23. Lions ()
T.Y. Hilton, WR/KR, Florida International (Previous pick Reilly Reiff)
: Have fun, defenses.
24. Steeers ()
David DeCastro, G, Stanford (Previous pick same)
25. Patriots ()
Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama (Previous pick same)
