Picks
1-10 | 11-20 | 21-31

11. Buccaneers - CB Vernon Hargreaves III
Original pick: CB Vernon Hargreaves III

Hargreaves turned into a solid counter piece opposite Brent Grimes late in the season, and could prove to be a No. 1 lockdown corner in the years to come.

12. Saints - DT Sheldon Rankins
Original pick: DT Sheldon Rankins

Rankins provided an immediate upgrade and spark to the Saints' defensive line once he recovered from injury in Week 9. He and Nick Fairley form a dynamic duo for New Orleans in the middle.

13. Dolphins - CB Eli Apple
Original pick: OT Laremy Tunsil

The Dolphins thought they hit the jackpot when Tunsil fell to 13 last spring, but they quickly discovered they didn't really have a role for him, while their secondary was lacking playmakers.

14. Raiders - LB Deion Jones
Original pick: S Karl Joseph

The Raiders vastly improved their players on the line of scrimmage and in the backfield on defense last year, but their linebacking corps is missing something. Seeing as Jones did everything for Atlanta, he would solve a lot of Oakland's problems.

15. Browns - OT Taylor Decker
Original pick: WR Corey Coleman

To have any semblance of an offensive rhythm, a complete offensive line is required. The Browns figured that out in free agency this year, though they could have gotten an early start with Decker, who happens to be an Ohio native.

16. Lions - S Keanu Neal
Original pick: OT Taylor Decker

If a slam dunk offensive lineman like Decker was no longer available, adding a quality defender like Neal to the Lions' secondary would have been a nice addition for Detroit.

17. Falcons - S Karl Joseph
Original pick: S Keanu Neal

A redraft doesn't change the fact that the Falcons would need a safety, so the next-best guy available makes sense.

18. Colts - EDGE Leonard Floyd
Original pick: C Ryan Kelly

Even if the Colts knew they'd be adding Jabaal Sheard, John Simon, and Barkevious Mingo in a year's time, Floyd would be a welcome addition to Indy's revamped pass rush.

19. Bills - EDGE Noah Spence
Original pick: EDGE Shaq Lawson

Lawson couldn't get himself on the field for 2016, so we're not quite sure what he is yet. We already know Spence is a handful to deal with on the edge.

20. Jets - QB Jared Goff
Original pick: LB Darron Lee

The Jets wasted a second-round pick on Christian Hackenberg right before linebackers Deion Jones and Su'a Cravens went off the board. Let's flip the order of the positions this time.

Picks 1-10 | 11-20 | 21-31
