2012 NFL Draft do-over: Despite woes, RGIII still a first-rounder - NFL.com
1. Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Andrew Luck
Do-over: Same
Comment: The Colts go from Peyton Manning to a horrible season and then onto the Andrew Luckera. Some teams have all the "Luck". It's early in the article -- it might get substantially worse.
2. Washington Redskins
Pick: Robert Griffin III
Do-over: Russell Wilson
Comment: Remember that Mike Shanahan is making this pick in 2012 and Griffin is ready-made for his zone-scheme, bootleg-action offense.
3. Cleveland Browns
Pick: Trent Richardson
Do-over: Ryan Tannehill
Comment: While some might go with Luke Kuechly here, the Browns had no answer at QB headed into this draft and Tannehill is flashing enough to take a chance on such an important position for success.
4. Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Matt Kalil
Do-over: Luke Kuechly
Comment: While Kalil has had his moments, Kuechly is a dominant defensive force who is versatile enough to battle against quality offenses within the division in 2012.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Justin Blackmon
Do-over: Alshon Jeffery
Comment: The Jaguars were hoping to find a big target for QB Blaine Gabbert and Jeffery has proven to be reliable and effective. Furthermore, he's proven that his conditioning and speed are not concerns at this level.
6. Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Morris Claiborne
Do-over: Dontari Poe
Comment: Poe was a freak with all of his pre-draft testing and he's flashed that incredible potential enough to warrant a selection here by the Cowboys, who needed defensive line help at the time.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Mark Barron
Do-over: Alfred Morris
Comment: Tampa was looking for a running back in 2012 and that's what we'll give them in the re-draft. Morris has size and the ability to be a workhorse, which is what the team was looking for.
8. Miami Dolphins
Pick: Ryan Tannehill
Do-over: Nick Foles
Comment: If you think this is too early, then consider that many thought the Dolphins took Tannehill too early in the original 2012 draft. Using hindsight, Foles has shown enough to potentially reach for a QB here.
9. Carolina Panthers
Pick: Luke Kuechly
Do-over: Bobby Wagner
Comment: The Panthers miss out on all-everything Kuechly in the redraft, but they land another mega athlete who can run and chase all over the field.
10. Buffalo Bills
Pick: Stephon Gilmore
Do-over: T.Y. Hilton
Comment: The Bills took an undersized WR in the third round (T.J. Graham) of the 2012 draft and missed. This time, they hit with a dynamic talent who has big-play potential.
