New No.1 Overall Draft Picks

Hi, today I thought I would make a post about re making some of the past no. 1 overall draft picks due to how the players in their class performed. I'm going to do 2010-2015 drafts today and maybe another day I will do even earlier drafts. Some quick news alerts: Colts sign Andrew Luck to the most expensive contract in NFL history. Seahawks and Doug Baldwin re-sign. Johnny Manziel suspended for 4 games next season. Sheldon Richardson suspended 1 game. Rolando McClain suspended for 10 games. Here it is:

Buccaneers No. 1 Overall Pick in 2015 Draft: QB Jameis Winston
Do-Over No. 1 Pick: SAME
WHY: Jameis didn't have an AMAZING year but he was a top 15 QB and the Buccaneers wouldn't have done as well as they did without a QB. They needed a QB and Jameis was pretty good for them and I can see him as a future star. The Bucs were spot on with their pick

Texans No. 1 Overall Pick in 2014 Draft: DE Jadeveon Clowney
Do-Over No. 1 Pick: QB Blake Bortles
WHY: Clowney was a monster in college at pass rusher but the second he started with the Texans, he was trash. Clowney has showed sparks of being good in the future but for the last few years what the Texans have needed is a QB. Blake Bortles was the best QB in the class and he performed as a top 4 QB last season, if the Texans had that paired with top 5 WR DeAndre Hopkins they could have gone deep into the playoffs.

Chiefs No. 1 Overall Pick in 2013 Draft: OT Eric Fisher
Do-Over No. 1 Pick: S/CB Tyrann Mathieu
WHY: It's always good to have a great offensive line but the Chiefs are in need of a cornerback to help Marcus Peters. With Mathieu he could play corner and safety when they need it and Mathieu is such an explosive player. He is a super athlete and any team would love to have him and with him, the Chiefs could have had the no. 1 D last year adding such a skilled player. Let me just add that Mathieu is an amazing return man and could help them in the returning position too. He is the complete skilled package.

Colts No. 1 Overall Pick in 2012 Draft: QB Andrew Luck
Do-Over No. 1 Pick: SAME
WHY: Before Luck the Colts had no one at QB. Peyton Manning had been cut and the Colts had had a disaster season. Then when they drafted Luck they had a comeback year and were a great team making it to the divisional playoff game before losing to the Patriots. Without Luck who would the Colts be, some garbage last place team. If you don't think Luck is good, your one of the only people because the Colts organization thinks he's so good that they recently signed Luck to the most expensive contract in NFL HISTORY! Luck makes the Colts a contender.

Panthers No. 1 Overall Pick in 2011 Draft: QB Cam Newton
Do-Over No. 1 Pick: SAME
WHY: Before Cam Newton the Panthers had no one at QB. Now they have a player who won last years Offensive Player of the Year and league MVP who lead their team to the Superbowl. Why would the Panthers draft someone else? Cam had one of the best seasons by a QB in NFL history last year. He is a super athlete and that was a great use of a first pick by the Panthers

Rams No. 1 Overall Pick in 2010 Draft: QB Sam Bradford
Do-Over: QB Tim Tebow
WHY: It pains me to re-draft this pick. The Rams needed a QB and Sam Bradford was amazing in college but hot garbage in the NFL. The reason this pains me is because the Rams needed to pick a QB in this draft but Bradford and Tebow were the only two decent QB's in this draft so it pains me to make the first overall pick not an amazing pick. I think that Tebow COULD have made a difference if the Rams got him because at least Tebow wasn't terrible for the Broncos. If the Rams drafted him he could have been better and maybe a starter to this day. Tebow could have changed the Rams.

There are some re-draft no. 1 overall picks. Thanks for reading!
