» More draft do-overs: 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2008 There's nothing like looking back at a draft armed with information and insight on how players and teams have developed since that point. In 2010, the debate at the top of the board centered on the whether Sam Bradford was worthy of being the No. 1 overall pick despite barely playing his final season at Oklahoma due to an injury. Although he exhibited qualities that convinced the overwhelming majority of scouts that he was worthy of being considered a franchise quarterback,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey, the dominant performance of Ndamukong Suh put the St. Louis Rams in an awkward position of deciding between the best player available in the draft or the top quarterback in a weak class. With every decision creating a domino effect on the draft board, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the 2010 draft and see what could've transpired if the St. Louis Rams made a different decision at the top of the board. Here's how it shook out in my mind: 2010 NFLDraft -- Round 1 Pk Team Player Pos. College 1 Rams Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma 2 Lions Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska 3 Buccaneers Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma 4 Redskins Trent Williams OT Oklahoma 5 Chiefs Eric Berry SS Tennessee 6 Seahawks Russell Okung OT Oklahoma State 7 Browns Joe Haden CB Florida 8 Raiders Rolando McClain LB Alabama 9 Bills C.J.

St. Louis Rams Pick: Sam Bradford Do-over: Ndamukong Suh Comment: The Rams desperately needed a franchise quarterback in 2010, but Bradford has certainly underwhelmed team officials with his performance as a starter. Thus, the Rams' brass would likely nab the meanest and most disruptive defensive tackle in football in a do-over scenario. 2. Detroit Lions Pick: Ndamukong Suh Do-over: Jimmy Graham Comment: Imagine if Calvin Johnson had a legitimate weapon on the opposite of the field to command coverage. Graham would not only draw extra attention in the middle, but he would feast on the one-on-one matchups with his superior size, speed and athleticism. More important, the Graham would team with Johnson to give Matthew Stafford a pair of big-bodied pass catchers to target on the perimeter. 3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick: Gerald McCoy Do-over: Same Comment: It took McCoy a few seasons to blossom into a Pro Bowl-caliber playmaker, but the Buccaneers defense has certainly benefitted from the presence of a disruptive force in the middle. 4. Washington Redskins Pick: Trent Williams Do-over: Jason Pierre-Paul Comment: It's hard to express dissatisfaction with a two-time Pro Bowler,Michael Cooper Jersey, but the Redskins would certainly welcome a freakish pass rusher like Pierre-Paul on a defense that's struggled in recent years. 5. Kansas City Chiefs Pick: Eric Berry Do-over: Same Comment: Safeties weren't viewed as marquee defenders in 2010, but the pass-centric nature of the current NFL has made it imperative to have a playmaker in the middle of the field. Berry has certainly been an impact player since stepping into the lineup as a ball-hawking safety with corner-like cover skills. 6. Seattle Seahawks Pick: Russell Okung Do-over: Earl Thomas Comment: Thomas is the diminutive member of the Legion of Boom, but astute observers view him as the linchpin of the defense with his exceptional instincts, awareness and leadership skills. 7. Cleveland Browns Pick: Joe Haden Do-over: Sam Bradford Comment: The Browns' quarterback woes have kept the team from seriously competing for the AFC North title since the franchise's reincarnation in 1999. Although Bradford has his flaws as a quarterback, he is certainly an upgrade over the duds that have manned the position over the past decade. 8. Oakland Raiders Pick: Rolando McClain Do-over: Dez Bryant Comment: The late Al Davis would've loved to add a passionate playmaker like Bryant in a 2010 re-do. Although Bryant has shown questionable maturity at times, there is no disputing his production or potential as a No. 1 receiver in a system designed to feature his dynamic skills as a pass catcher. 9. Buffalo Bills Pick: C.J. Spiller Do-over: Demaryius Thomas Comment: The Bills could use a dominant pass catcher on the perimeter with the size, speed and physicality to overwhelm defenders in one-on-one matchups. Thomas has quietly developed into one of the top players at his position,Discount Nike Air Max 1, exhibiting a game that is extremely polished and refined for a young player. 2014 NFL Draft Winds College Football 24/7 takes a look at the rumors connecting draft prospects with NFL teams leading up to the 2014 NFL Draft.» AFC East | North | South | West» NFC East | North | South | WestMore:» Tracking teams' interest in top prospects 10. Jacksonville Jaguars Pick: Tyson Alualu Do-over: Rob Gronkowski Comment: Former GM Gene Smith shocked the football world with the selection of Alualu. The Cal standout has been solid for the Jaguars,Swingman Clyde Drexler Jersey, but a swap for Gronkowski would give the team a supreme playmaker to build the passing game around. 11. San Francisco 49ers Pick: Anthony Davis Do-over: Trent Williams Comment: Davis has been an integral part of the 49ers' offensive dominance at the point of attack, but Williams is a superior athlete and player on the edge. His presence would take the 49ers offense to another level. 12. San Diego Chargers Pick: Ryan Mathews Do-over: Joe Haden Comment: Mathews was drafted to replace the legendary LaDainian Tomlinson,Adidas Neo Scarpe Uomo, but he hasn't played up to expectations. Haden would give the team a playmaking cover corner to matchup with the elite receivers running roughshod over opponents in the AFC. 13. Philadelphia Eagles Pick: Brandon Graham Do-over: Greg Hardy Comment: The Kracken wouldn't make it out of the first round in a draft do-over due to his explosive pass-rush skills and disruptive potential. Hardy would've teamed with Trent Cole to form a devastating pass-rush tandem in Philly.

Seattle Seahawks Pick: Earl Thomas Do-over: Kam Chancellor Comment: The Seahawks double-dipped in the safety market to create the Legion of Boom in 2010. In a do-over scenario, I can envision Pete Carroll grabbing his enforcer in the first round to dissuade opponents from taking shots down the middle of the field. 15. New York Giants Pick: Jason Pierre-Paul Do-over: C.J. Spiller Comment: The G-Men could use Spiller's speed and explosiveness in an offense that's struggled mustering a consistent running game over the past few seasons. 16. Tennessee Titans Pick: Derrick Morgan Do-over: NaVorro Bowman Comment: Bowman has quietly become one of the top players at his position. The Pro Bowler is an instinctive defender with strong hands and a knack for finding the ball at the point of attack. 17. San Francisco 49ers Pick: Mike Iupati Do-over: Same Comment: Jim Harbaugh's impressive work with the offense started with the careful construction of dominant frontline that features hard-nosed blockers at every position. Iupati pummels defenders at the line of scrimmage, creating big holes for Frank Gore and others on power runs between the tackles. 18. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick: Maurkice Pouncey Do-over: Same Comment: Pouncey has been the Steelers' top offensive lineman since stepping into the starting lineup as a rookie starter. I'm sure Mike Tomlin wouldn't change a thing if given a chance to reshuffle the deck. 19. Atlanta Falcons Pick: Sean Weatherspoon Do-over: Daryl Washington Comment: Weatherspoon has been extremely productive for the Falcons, but Washington has been a disruptive force as a second-level defender. He specializes in creating turnovers, which is desperately needed by a Falcons defense that struggled generating stops or takeaways last season. 20. Houston Texans Pick: Kareem Jackson Do-over: Rodger Saffold Comment: Saffold isn't a sexy pick for the Texans, but he is a solid starting offensive tackle ideally suited to play in the zone-based scheme that's helped the unit rank as one of the top rushing attacks with Arian Foster in the backfield. 21. Cincinnati Bengals Pick: Jermaine Gresham Do-over: T.J. Ward Comment: Marvin Lewis' defensive background would lead him to take a teeth-rattling hitter in the backend to fortify a defense built on grit, toughness and intimidation. 22. Denver Broncos Pick: Demaryius Thomas Do-over: Anthony Davis Comment: The loss of Thomas would weaken the Broncos' offense under Peyton Manning,Nike Air Max 90 Camo Blue, but Davis' insertion into the line up would give the team more toughness and physicality at the point of attack. After watching the Seahawks bully the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, the move to acquire Davis would help the unit matchup better with an NFC heavyweight. 23. Green Bay Packers Pick: Bryan Bulaga Do-over: Sean Lee Comment: A knee injury kept Lee out of the first round in the original draft, but his production and instincts would make him hard to ignore at this point. 24. Dallas Cowboys Pick: Dez Bryant Do-over: Sean Weatherspoon Comment: Jerry Jones made a bold move to grab Bryant in 2010, but he would have to settle for Weatherspoon in this do-over. The loquacious defender has been on the cusp of earning all-star recognition throughout his career. More important, Weatherspoon's leadership skills would be a welcome addition to a Cowboys' defense in desperate need of an identity. 2014 NFL DraftDraft Tracker:» Rounds | Teams | Players | Positions | HistoryDraft coverage:» 2014 draft grades: How did each team fare?» Silver: Inside look at historic event in St. Louis» Brandt: Top undrafted players | Signings» Schein: Texans, Falcons revitalized in draft» Draft trade tracker: Details of all the movesInteract:» Fan War Rooms | Ballot | Predict the Pick | TwitterVideo:» Fan Pass: Behind the scenes with top prospects» First draft: Get to know top draft prospects» NFL comparisons for top draft prospects» Combine workouts: Scout top prospectsPre-draft events:» Senior Bowl | NFL Scouting Combine | Pro days 25. Denver Broncos Pick: Tim Tebow Do-over: Same Comment: It's easy to dismiss Tebow's success as a winning quarterback in the NFL, but coaches pay close attention to guys who win big games in the postseason. Tebow captured a pair of BCS titles as collegian and helped the Broncos win a division crown as a young player,Tiago Splitter Hawks Jersey, so it's possible Fox would strongly consider the former Heisman Trophy winner in a re-do. 26. Arizona Cardinals Pick: Dan Williams Do-over: Antonio Brown Comment: The Cardinals have traditionally played with big-bodied receivers on the perimeter, but Brown's speed and quickness as a slot receiver would give opponents problems with Larry Fitzgerald on the outside. 27. New England Patriots Pick: Devin McCourty Do-over: Same Comment: McCourty has been one of Bill Belichick's best defenders since his arrival in 2010. He has shown the ability to thrive at corner or safety,Nike Roshe Run Print Mens, which makes him a valuable asset on a defense that uses multiple packages on nickel downs. 28. Miami Dolphins Pick: Jared Odrick Do-over: Alterraun Verner Comment: Odrick has been a solid player for the Dolphins,Nike Air Max 2015 Mens, but the team would've benefitted from the presence of a hard-nosed cover corner like Verner. The Pro Bowl selection is a polished technician with outstanding ball skills and awareness. 29. New York Jets Pick: Kyle Wilson Do-over: Lamarr Houston Comment: Rex Ryan loves pass rushers with speed, quickness and athleticism. Houston's versatility and body control would make him a perfect fit in Ryan's hybrid schemes. 30. Detroit Lions Pick: Jahvid Best Do-over: Ryan Mathews Comment: Best showed a big-time playmaking ability prior to a series of concussions prematurely ended his career. In hindsight, the Lions would nab a running back with a nice blend of skills to complement Matthew Stafford in the backfield. 31. Indianapolis Colts Pick: Jerry Hughes Do-over: Eric Decker Comment: Reggie Wayne is firmly entrenched as the Colts' No. 1 receiver, but he needs a complementary playmaker to open up the field for Andrew Luck. Decker has shined as a side dish for most of his career and I would expect him to post big numbers opposite Wayne in Indy. 32. New Orleans Saints Pick: Patrick Robinson Do-over: Jermaine Gresham Comment: Sean Payton turned Jimmy Graham into a bona fide superstar in his offense. Although Gresham is not nearly an athlete of Gresham's character, he is a polished route runner with a knack for getting open down the field. Given Payton's exceptional skills as a play designer, it is possible Gresham would thrive as the Queen of the chessboard in the Saints offense. Follow Bucky Brooks on Twitter @BuckyBrooks. |
