You can do this for every team, every year, there are always guys teams shouldn't have drafted and other guys they didn't draft that turned out better. That's the whole point of the draft, no team ever gets every top player at their pick.
I think a better thing to do would be to ask, which teams draft would you take over ours? Basically if we could swap the entire draft with another team. Looking over every other teams draft I don't see any draft that was considerably better than ours, and would keep ours compared to any other team.
For example, some people mention Cushing on here, but how did the rest of the Texans draft go, was it that much better than ours?
1: Brian Cushing, LB
2: Connor Barwin, DE
3: Antoine Caldwell, G
4: Glover Quin, DB
4: Anthony Hill, TE
5: James Casey, TE
6: Brice McCain, DB
7: Troy Nolan, DB
Would Cushing be worth swapping the entire draft? IMO it wouldn't be and I would rather keep our draft.

Instead of trading two third rounders for Quinn.
1st Round
9th Pick-DT BJ Raji
Denver Trades with Green Bay up to 9 from 12 and takes DT BJ Raji. Denver gives up third rounder.
18th pick-CB Vontae Davis
2nd Round
Denver Still Takes McBath but doesn't trade 2010s first rounder
3rd round
WR Mike Wallace
Denver still has it's 14th overall.
Now Denver can draft in the first round for 2010
ILB Rolando McClain
DT Dan Williams in the first round
Denver's Starting Front seven on Defense for 2010
RDE-BJ Raji (1st rounder)
NT-Dan Williams (1st rounder)
LDE-Ryan McBean (great player until hurt)
OLB-Elvis Dumervil (NFL Sack Leader)
ILB-DJ Williams (1st rounder)
ILB-Rolando McClian (1st Rounder)
OLB-Mario Haggan
Denver's Defense is now established for five years.
Too bad we took a RB, a 4-3 DE, an undersized bust CB, and a Blocking TE in the first two rounds last year.Leave a comment:

It would have been interesting to see a re-draft thread right after the draft.Leave a comment:

1st round was fine, can't really complain.
The 2nd round there was a lot of doubt:
Maualuga instead of Alphonso Smith
Shonn Greene instead of Richard QuinnLeave a comment:

12-Orakpo
Apparently we didn't take him cause Nolan didn't want him. Well look how that turned out.
18-Percy Harvin
What did our offense miss? Pure explosion, and big play capability. Good thing Knowshon had what, 2 runs over 25 yards?
37-Jarius Bryd
Dude is an animal, Alphonso Smith's rookie year was one of the most disappointing things I've ever seen as a Bronco fan.Leave a comment:

The problem with your redraft game is that many of the players would go much higher if you did every team re-doing thier picks. Like Oher, Harvin, Mathews, Cushing, Byrd, and Orakpo would all be in the top 10
But I will play anyway, trying to judge the right amount of rise and fall.
12, OLB Robert Ayers
18, DT Evander "Ziggy" Hood
37, NT Terrance Knighton
48, CB Sean Smith
64, FS Darcell McBath
114, TE Anthony Hill
132, WR Johnny KnoxLeave a comment:

[QUOTE=MorenoFan27;3163072]well my mock draft that year had us taking Cushing 12th and Rey maulaga 18th then in the third we didnt trade up just had our regular pick and got McCoy.
Then when relizing Orakpo was in our hands I immediatley was jumping up and down in the buffalo wild wings basically expecting us to take him.
and Rey maulaga at our 18th wouldnt have surprised anybody cause he was expected to go way earlier then drafted.
So heres mine (not trading up or anything and basically my mock draft before the draft)
12 - ORAKPO -- dumbest idea to skip on this guy
18 - Rey M. -- turned out to be great rookie (despite what just happend off field) BUT I LOST MY BET saying he would win DROY
48 - LeSean McCoy - i believe is a good RB who will be a sleeper in fantasy drafts like this years RAY RICE (picked him in a **** load)
[/QUOTE
I almost lost my mind when we did not draft Orakpo. I think Jerry with our second pick of the first round would have solidified our Dline for years to come. With either of these picks (18 or 37) why we didn't draft Rey Rey I will never know. Alphonso Smith in the second will take some time to find out if we were right but I think we did alright with the pick but he was not worth the value. We possibly could pick up Haden this year and I think if he is available with our 10/11 pick he would of been a better pickup than Smith last year. We still would of had pick 14 and we could of picked up someone like Iupati or McClain or Bryant. Why in the world did we trade up to get Quinn. I don't even know why we drafted him at all let alone trade up. Jaron Gilbert would of been a nice pickup with that pick.Leave a comment:

Moreno Ayers Smith McBath Quinn.
I'll take em all. Who knows what kinda years any other rookie would have in any other setting. Its not applicable to look as Orakpos stats and be like aw man he would have done just as good here.
In fact he had over a 3rd of his sacks in one game. Doesn't scream consistancy to me.Leave a comment:
