2014 NFL Redraft: Rebuilding the first round based on PFF grades and data

The 2014 NFL Draft is reimagined with the benefit of hindsight, showcasing how teams would select differently based on the success of the players since then. Topping the list is Aaron Donald, the legendary defensive player who would have gone first overall. Following him, consistent wide receiver Mike Evans makes his mark as the second pick, continuing his streak of 1,000-yard seasons. Other notable selections include Derek Carr, Khalil Mack, and C.J. Mosley, all reflecting the talent that emerged from this draft.

The redraft serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the NFL Draft, where teams often miss on potential superstars. Notably, the Houston Texans originally selected Jadeveon Clowney but would take Donald instead, a move that would have significantly altered the franchise's trajectory. Similarly, the St. Louis Rams, who originally picked Greg Robinson, would have benefited immensely from selecting Evans, cementing their offense for years to come. This redraft highlights how teams can learn from past mistakes and better assess talent with the knowledge gained from players' careers.
