School: LSU
Position: QB
Original Pick: Joe Burrow

Some could argue Justin Herbert is the pick here but the Bengals would be smart to stick with Burrow. Prior to the injury, he showed that he has what it takes to develop into a franchise quarterback that can change the trajectory of the organization.

Throwing for 2,688 yards, 13 touchdowns and just five interceptions in 10 games is not too shabby. Neither is a 65.3 completion percentage. As long as Cincinnati can protect Burrow and he recovers from his injury at full strength, there is no reason to doubt that he can emerge as one of the next stars of the game.

School: Oregon
Position: QB
Original Pick: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State

It's a tough decision as Young showed in Year 1 he is a generational-type talent that instantly changes an offense. Still, quarterback rules all and Washington is still searching for the answer.

Herbert is the solution, as he has the makeup of a long-term option under center that will stabilize a position that hasn't had real consistency or explosiveness in years.

Young will be missed, but Herbert is the choice here.

School: Ohio State
Position: DE
Original Pick: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State

The Lions become one of the biggest winners of this redraft as Young drops to them. It's a no-brainer as they get a cornerstone of the defense for years to come.

"},{"index":4,"title":"New York Giants: Tristan Wirfs","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Wirfs_T_USATSI_15086441.jpg","credit":"© Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623713747,"caption":"

School: Iowa
Position: OT
Original Pick: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

Thomas seemed like the best prospect to some going into the draft, but Wirfs emerged as the top tackle after one season. Over 1,000 snaps and just one sack allowed while being an anchor for the Super Bowl Champions is about as good as it gets for a rookie.

The Giants will take that, as Wirfs becomes perfect protection for Daniel Jones.

"},{"index":5,"title":"Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Tagovailoa_T_USATSI_15392002.jpg","credit":"© Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623714071,"caption":"

School: Alabama
Position: QB
Original Pick: Tua Tagovailoa

It wasn't an ideal first season for Tagovailoa as he bounced in and out of the starting role and failed to really impress. Still, he's young and the ceiling is one that Miami needs. Giving up on him after that sample size isn't the right move.

"},{"index":6,"title":"Los Angeles Chargers: Jalen Hurts","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Hurts_J_USATSI_15436729.jpg","credit":"© Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623714264,"caption":"

School: Oklahoma
Position: QB
Original Pick: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

Hurts wasn't unbelievable in his short time as the starter for the Eagles, but he showed enough to warrant an opportunity to be an NFL quarterback for a team.

Missing out on Herbert, the Chargers take a chance on him and hope he too can be a franchise passer. Hurts can sit behind Tyrod Taylor in Year 1, and his ability to throw and run makes him a dynamic option that could pair well with the likes of Keenan Allen in the long run. Los Angeles still needs a QB, even if it's not the one they originally got.

"},{"index":7,"title":"Carolina Panthers: Antoine Winfield Jr.","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Winfield_A_USATSI_15119976.jpg","credit":"© Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623714678,"caption":"

School: Minnesota
Position: S
Original Pick: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn

Brown was solid for the Panthers during his rookie season as he got more comfortable, but solidifying the secondary is important. Winfield showed his ability to man the final line of defense while being a physical tackler. With 64 tackles and three sacks to go along with six pass defenses, he was all over the field for Tampa Bay.

"},{"index":8,"title":"Arizona Cardinals: Isaiah Simmons","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Simmons_I_USATSI_14970344.jpg","credit":"© Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623715051,"caption":"

School: Clemson
Position: LB
Original Pick: Isaiah Simmons

This is another example of not throwing in the towel on a player after one year. Simmons' athleticism and ability to play all over the field is just too much to give up on even after some struggles in 2020.

Once he finds the right spot and gets more comfortable in the defense, he could easily become the player Arizona was hoping for at No. 8.

"},{"index":9,"title":"Jacksonville Jaguars: Justin Jefferson","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Jefferson_J_USATSI_15340863.jpg","credit":"© Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623780270,"caption":"

School: LSU
Position: WR
Original Pick: C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida

Henderson can still develop into a piece in the secondary and we'll have more on that later. Yet, the Jaguars could really set themselves up well for the future by grabbing a receiver that put up 1,400 yards in his rookie season.

Jefferson may not shine as much immediately in Jacksonville given the QB situation in 2020, but he's a clear playmaker. Imagine a world where Trevor Lawrence and he get to form a duo, that would be a scary thought for opposing defenses.

"},{"index":10,"title":"Cleveland Browns: Jedrick Wills Jr. ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Wills_J_USATSI_15072911.jpg","credit":"© Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623780525,"caption":"

School: Alabama
Position: T
Original Pick: Jedrick Wills Jr.

No need to overthink this here. The Browns got a player that upgraded the offensive line and made a difference in Year 1 to help the team reach the playoffs. It'd be smart to repeat that scenario.

"},{"index":11,"title":"New York Jets: Mekhi Becton","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Becton_M_USATSI_15477366.jpg","credit":"© Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623780839,"caption":"

School: Louisville
Position: T
Original Pick: Mekhi Becton

Becton was strong when he was on the field in 2020 and his ceiling is still very high as he enters Year 2. Maybe he could have gone even higher this time around, but the Jets get lucky and grab him at No. 11 again.

"},{"index":12,"title":"Las Vegas Raiders: CeeDee Lamb","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Lamb_C_USATSI_15021602.jpg","credit":"© Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623781165,"caption":"

School: Oklahoma
Position: WR
Original Pick: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Ruggs' speed makes him a fine choice but Lamb proved to be one of the best receivers out of the 2020 class based on the one-year sample size. He's a complete pass-catcher that would immediately become one of Derek Carr's favorite targets.

"},{"index":13,"title":"Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Andrew Thomas","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Thomas_A_USATSI_14932576.jpg","credit":"© Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623781409,"caption":"

School: Georgia
Position: T
Original Pick: Tristan Wirfs, T, Iowa

The Buccaneers miss out on Wirfs this time around and so they have to hope that Thomas -- who struggled at times with the Giants but was a highly-touted prospect -- develops better with them right off the bat.

"},{"index":14,"title":"San Francisco 49ers: Jerry Jeudy ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Jeudy_J_USATSI_15178659.jpg","credit":"© Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623781780,"caption":"

School: Alabama
Position: WR
Original Pick: Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina

Jeudy -- despite having inconsistent QB play -- showed his playmaking ability and superb route-running ability with the Broncos. Now, he'll join a San Francisco team that was depleted at the position at times.

"},{"index":15,"title":"Denver Broncos: Chase Claypool","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Claypool_C_USATSI_15347642.jpg","credit":" © Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623782031,"caption":"

School: Notre Dame
Position: WR
Original Pick: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

Denver has Jeudy stolen a pick prior, and so Claypool becomes the selection here. The TikTok star is also a very good receiver with explosive tendencies and a knack for finding the endzone.

"},{"index":16,"title":"Atlanta Falcons: A.J. Terrell","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Terrell_A_USATSI_16230787.jpg","credit":"© Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623782213,"caption":"

School: Clemson
Position: CB
Original Pick: A.J. Terrell

Terrell was a bright spot in what was a rough year for Atlanta's defense and deserves to remain the No. 16 pick.

"},{"index":17,"title":"Dallas Cowboys: Trevon Diggs","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Diggs_T_USATSI_15366138.jpg","credit":"© Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623782466,"caption":"

School: Alabama
Position: CB
Original Pick: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

Stick with what you know. Diggs struggled at points but overall it was an impressive campaign for Dallas' second-round pick. Lock him up here rather than risk another team stealing him.

"},{"index":18,"title":"Miami Dolphins: Jeremy Chinn","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Chinn_J_USATSI_15020599.jpg","credit":"© Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623783159,"caption":"

School: Southern Illinois
Position: S
Original Pick: Austin Jackson, T, USC

Chinn became one of the best players of the class as he created multiple big plays on defense for Carolina. Miami gets a core piece for its secondary moving forward.

"},{"index":19,"title":"Las Vegas Raiders: Jaylon Johnson","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Johnson_J_USATSI_14927840_1.jpg","credit":"© Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623783415,"caption":"

School: Utah
Position: CB
Original Pick: Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State

The Raiders took the Bears' first-round selection so they might as well steal one of their picks as well. Johnson emerged as a key member of Chicago's backline defense and would fit well in Las Vegas.

"},{"index":20,"title":"Jacksonville Jaguars: C.J. Henderson","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Henderson_C_USATSI_14937173.jpg","credit":"© Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623783903,"caption":"

School: Florida
Position: CB
Original Pick: K'Lavon Chaisson, DE, LSU

Henderson showed flashes of why he was a Top 10 pick the first time around, as his length and coverage skills can allow him to take tough assignments. However, inconsistencies and injuries were concerning right off the bat as he appeared in just eight games.

He's still worth a flag for the Jaguars, this time at No. 20.

"},{"index":21,"title":"Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Aiyuk","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Aiyuk_B_USATSI_15340069_0.jpg","credit":"© Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623787106,"caption":"

School: Arizona State
Position: WR
Original Pick: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU

Swap one versatile receiver for another and the Eagles wind up with a player that can line up all over the field and provide some much-needed big-play ability.

"},{"index":22,"title":"Minnesota Vikings: Tee Higgins","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Higgins_T_USATSI_15391804.jpg","credit":"© Sam Greene/The Enquirer via Imagn Content Services, LLC","published":1623788085,"caption":"

School: Clemson
Position: WR
Original Pick: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

The Vikings become one of the losers of this redraft as they lose a future All-Pro talent in Jefferson.

There are a lot of routes to go there, but having another dynamic receiver did make the Vikings offense better in 2020. Higgins had a strong season (908 yards and six TDs) and can slide in and produce in a unit that features Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen.

"},{"index":23,"title":"Los Angeles Chargers: Patrick Queen","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Queen_P_USATSI_15143554.jpg","credit":"© Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623788372,"caption":"

School: LSU
Position: LB
Original Pick: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Queen and Murray were neck-and-neck prior to the draft process last year and both put up very similar numbers during their rookie campaigns.

For fun, let's switch it up and see what happens if LA goes the other way. Queen did have more success getting to the QB and finding the endzone.

"},{"index":24,"title":"New Orleans Saints: Cesar Ruiz","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Ruiz_C_USATSI_14099738.jpg","credit":"© Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623788828,"caption":"

School: Michigan
Position: C
Original Pick: Cesar Ruiz

Ruiz was solid in the middle of the O-Line when he was needed and should become a consistent force protecting whoever is under center in the future.

"},{"index":25,"title":"San Francisco 49ers: Jeff Okudah","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Okudah_J_USATSI_15214197_0.jpg","credit":"© Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623789447,"caption":"

School: Ohio State
Position: CB
Original Pick: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State

Okudah has the makeup of a cornerback that can cover the top receivers, it's just going to take some time. His rookie season was a struggle and he didn't have much help around him, either.

For the 49ers, it's a chance to see if a talented corner can develop at the next level to become the next cornerstone of the secondary.

"},{"index":26,"title":"Green Bay Packers: Michael Pittman Jr.","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Pittman_M_USATSI_17094101.jpg","credit":"© Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623789836,"caption":"

School: USC
Position: WR
Original Pick: Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

Did we just save the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers? Sure they can prep for the future but look where it got them.

Much like Tee Higgins jumping from the 2nd round to the 1st, Michael Pittman Jr. is another receiver who climbs from his original selection to give the Packers a No. 1 target.

"},{"index":27,"title":"Seattle Seahawks: Kamren Curl","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Curl_K_USATSI_15312477.jpg","credit":"© Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623790519,"caption":"

School: Arkansas
Position: S
Original Pick: Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech

From seventh-round steal to first-round pick, Curl was a diamond in the rough for the Washington Football Team in 2020. He filled in admirably when Landon Collins went down and proved he can make big plays, cover the pass and wrap up as a tackler.

There is no flying under-the-radar this time around as he goes to a Seattle team that couldn't stop much of anything in 2020.

"},{"index":28,"title":"Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Murray","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Murray_K_USATSI_15214477.jpg","credit":"© Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623791289,"caption":"

School: Oklahoma
Position: LB
Original Pick: Patrick Queen, LB, LSU

As mentioned before, we'll see what happens if the roles are reversed between the two top linebackers going into the draft.

Baltimore still lands a capable, middle of the defense player.

"},{"index":29,"title":"Tennessee Titans: Austin Jackson","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Jackson_A_USATSI_15340141.jpg","credit":"© Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623791584,"caption":"

School: USC
Position: T
Original Pick: Isaiah Wilson, T, Georgia

The Wilson pick did not work out, and while Jackson wasn't incredible in Year 1, he was solid and a much-better addition to the offensive line for the Titans.

"},{"index":30,"title":"Miami Dolphins: L'Jarius Sneed","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Sneed_L_USATSI_15447655.jpg","credit":"© Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623791813,"caption":"

School: Louisiana Tech
Position: S/CB
Original Pick: Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn

With three interceptions and 31 solo tackles, Sneed was a productive part of Kansas City's secondary. After grabbing Chinn earlier, Miami has set itself up well for the future.

"},{"index":31,"title":"Minnesota Vikings: Cameron Dantzler","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Dantzler_C_USATSI_15276533.jpg","credit":"© Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623792370,"caption":"

School: Mississippi State
Position: CB
Original Pick: Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU

Dantzler was one of just two rookie cornerbacks to post a PFF grade of 70.0 or better. So, it makes sense for the Vikings to grab him at the backend of the first instead of waiting until the third -- where he would no longer be.

"},{"index":32,"title":"Kansas City Chiefs: Clyde Edwards-Helaire","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Helaire_C_USATSI_15177150.jpg","credit":"© Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports","published":1623792735,"caption":"

School: LSU
Position: RB
Original Pick: Clyde Edwards-Helaire

CEH wasn't the superstar right out of the gate that some fantasy players hoped for but he was still rather good. With over 1,000 total yards and five touchdowns, he showed flashes of how explosive he can be in Kansas City's offense. If he can remain healthy, he'll only get better.

One could argue that the Chiefs should address OL depth here, but there isn't a sure-fire option. Additionally, while Jonathan Taylor is available, Edwards-Helaire is the better fit.
