NFL Draft Re-Do

[.GR]

By now, you know the drill. Our fifth annual December NFL re-draft is an exercise in knowing now what we wish we would have known then. In our re-selected first round, rookie-season production for the most part wins out over projection, and hindsight always proves 20-20. Which is why it was a no-brainer to kick off our draft re-do with Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, who have looked like anything but rookie quarterbacks in 2008.

I don't like the re-do my happy what we got in the first round. Felix will be back next year and Mike Jenkins will be a monster in couple years and he has Terence Newman to teach him all the little things that make players better, same goes for Orlando Scandrick.

Vernon Gholston hasn't done <Censored>...

This is dumb, I'll tell you why.

Knowing what we know now, the Dolphins would not take a QB first overall. Chad Pennington has been VERY good for them (people are even talking MVP), and Jake Long is amazing, and is still going to be for a long time. I REALLY doubt they would take Ryan.

The Saints aren't going to take a RB, they'd have 4 then. Makes no sense, they need help elsewhere STILL.

I'm not saying McFadden should be taken 4th overall, but Chris Johnson would likely be getting the same amount of carries (none) with the same terrible line, he'd be doing nothing.

It says the Lions should take a WR (I assume because they dealt Roy Williams) Then for the Cowboys, it has them taking a WR, saying they would not have had to overpay for Williams if they had picked Donnie Avery.. something doesn't add up here lol.

Well, they haven't really given him a chance to play. I thought i moved him to getting picked later. I'll fix it.

I think it was fine, he wasn't suppose to be amazing right away, he was a work in progress, but his potential is HUGE, which is why they took him
