2024 NFL re-draft: How many 1st-round picks change?
What would NFL teams do if they got a chance to redo the 2024 draft?
We look at how a re-draft might go using the final order from draft night and no new trades.
New pick: QB Caleb Williams
Original pick: QB Caleb Williams
Williams has shown flashes of elite playmaking ability, particularly in recent weeks.
New pick: QB Jayden Daniels
Original pick: QB Jayden Daniels
Daniels has been a dynamic threat and injected life into the Commanders franchise.
New pick: QB Drake Maye
Original pick: QB Drake Maye
The Patriots still have plenty of holes, but Maye is New England's quarterback of the future.
New pick: WR Malik Nabers
Original pick: WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
Nabers (671) has over 100 yards more than Harrison (546) despite significantly worse quarterback play and two fewer games.
New pick: OL Joe Alt
Original pick: OL Joe Alt
Jim Harbaugh views offensive linemen as weapons and Alt has been one thus far. He's the fifth-ranked right tackle by overall PFF grade.
New pick: WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
Original pick: WR Malik Nabers
Nabers has outproduced Harrison in yardage, but the latter is still a mismatch as a rookie. He's scored six touchdowns while averaging 15.2 yards per catch.
New pick: TE Brock Bowers
Original pick: OL JC Latham
Bowers is ninth in receiving yards (744) and second in receptions (74) among all players. He leads all tight ends in both categories.
New pick: EDGE Jared Verse
Original pick: QB Michael Penix Jr.
The Falcons have the fewest sacks this season (10) by a wide margin. Verse has 4.5 sacks and is the runaway leader for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
New pick: WR Brian Thomas Jr.
Original pick: WR Rome Odunze
Thomas' ability to threaten defenses vertically would pair beautifully with Williams' playmaking.
New pick: QB J.J. McCarthy
Original pick: QB J.J. McCarthy
Minnesota sticks with McCarthy despite Sam Darnold's surprising production. The former Wolverine remains the Vikings' future.
New pick: OL JC Latham
Original pick: OL Olu Fashanu
Latham has a better overall PFF grade than Fashanu while playing significantly more snaps.
New pick: QB Bo Nix
Original pick: QB Bo Nix
Nix has narrowed the gap between himself and Daniels for Offensive Rookie of the Year. He has the Broncos in a playoff position in the loaded AFC.
New pick: QB Michael Penix Jr.
Original pick: TE Brock Bowers
Penix would provide the Raiders a strong-armed quarterback to build around.
New pick: WR Rome Odunze
Original pick: OL Taliese Fuaga
Wide receiver was a question mark behind Chris Olave entering the draft. Odunze would give the Saints another potential star.
New pick: CB Quinyon Mitchell
Original pick: EDGE Laiatu Latu
Mitchell has played almost every snap for the Eagles and would immediately upgrade a Colts defense that ranks 27th in passing yards allowed per contest.
New pick: EDGE Laiatu Latu
Original pick: DL Byron Murphy II
Latu drops just one spot and gets to learn under Mike Macdonald while bolstering a pass-rushing unit that's tied for 13th in total sacks.
New pick: DL Braden Fiske
Original pick: EDGE Dallas Turner
Fiske has been a terror for the Rams and leads all rookies with six sacks.
New pick: OL Olu Fashanu
Original pick: OL Amarius Mims
A defensive player had to be considered, but Fashanu's tremendous upside prevents him from sliding any further.
New pick: EDGE Chop Robinson
Original pick: EDGE Jared Verse
Robinson has caught fire lately, posting all of his 3.5 sacks over his past four games.
New pick: CB Cooper DeJean
Original pick: OL Troy Fautanu
The Steelers' top-10 defense would be even scarier with DeJean patrolling the secondary.
New pick: OL Taliese Fuaga
Original pick: EDGE Chop Robinson
Fuaga would help the Dolphins establish the run more reliably, setting up Miami's play-action passing game.
New pick: CB Kool-Aid McKinstry
Original pick: CB Quinyon Mitchell
McKinstry is a solid consolation prize with Mitchell and DeJean off the board.
New pick: OL Dominick Puni
Original pick: WR Brian Thomas Jr.
Puni, a top-11 guard in overall PFF grade, jumps from the third round to the first to bolster a struggling offensive line.
New pick: CB Kamari Lassiter
Original pick: CB Terrion Arnold
Lassiter has allowed just a 56 passer rating when targeted, per PFF.
New pick: S Evan Williams
Original pick: OL Jordan Morgan
Williams gains the most from a re-draft, rocketing from being selected in the fourth to the first by the same team. He's been one of the NFL's best safeties and played all over the field.
New pick: OL Zach Frazier
Original pick: OL Graham Barton
Frazier has been a bully in the run game while allowing only one sack. He's also been flagged just once.
New pick: DL Byron Murphy II
Original pick: DL Darius Robinson
Robinson hasn't been able to suit up this year because of injury, so the Cardinals take Murphy as they push for an NFC West crown.
New pick: WR Ladd McConkey
Original pick: WR Xavier Worthy
Patrick Mahomes would undoubtedly appreciate McConkey's route-running and sure hands. Only Bowers has more receiving yards among rookie pass-catchers.
New pick: OL Troy Fautanu
Original pick: OL Tyler Guyton
The Cowboys' offensive line isn't the unit it once was. Fautanu's athleticism and versatility would be appreciated for years to come.
New pick: EDGE Dallas Turner
Original pick: CB Nate Wiggins
Edge rushers with traits as freaky as Turner's aren't normally available this late in the first. The Ravens jump at the chance to develop Turner.
New pick: OL Jackson Powers-Johnson
Original pick: WR Ricky Pearsall
Kyle Shanahan loves to run the ball. Powers-Johnson is an excellent people-mover with the ability to play center and both guard spots.
New pick: WR Keon Coleman
Original pick: WR Xavier Legette
Coleman sneaks into the first and gives the Panthers a strong, big-bodied receiver who's posted more yardage than Legette in fewer games.
