We asked our NFL Nation reporters to make new picks and re-draft the first two rounds of the 2018 NFL draft, Nos. 1-64.
What if the Giants had passed on Saquon Barkley and taken a quarterback? What if the Dolphins had started their rebuild early and grabbed Lamar Jackson at Pick 11? What if the Ravens hadn't been able to pick their quarterback of the future at the end of Round 1? The dominoes are endless.
We're starting this re-draft with a clean slate -- the order below is from when the draft began on April 26, 2018. That means no trades allowed. That's why you see teams picking in their original spots throughout.
Jump to: 1-64 re-draft
ROUND 1
1. Cleveland Browns
Original pick: Baker Mayfield, QB
New pick: Baker Mayfield, QB
There's zero reason to change this pick. Mayfield energized the team and city in a fantastic rookie season. -- Pat McManamon
2. New York Giants
Original pick: Saquon Barkley, RB
New pick: Sam Darnold, QB
This has nothing to do with Barkley. He was everything the Giants expected and more. But the 5-11 campaign only punctuated this organization's need for a quarterback with Eli Manning in decline. -- Jordan Raanan
3. New York Jets (from IND)
Original pick: Sam Darnold, QB
New pick: Josh Allen, QB
After trading up from No. 6, the Jets were committed to taking a quarterback, even if it meant passing on Barkley. They ranked Josh Rosen over Josh Allen, but we're reversing the order after seeing the way Allen outplayed Rosen as a rookie. -- Rich Cimini
4. Cleveland Browns (from HOU)
Original pick: Denzel Ward, CB
New pick: Saquon Barkley, RB
Two factors here: The Browns had Barkley ranked among their top one or two players, and Nick Chubb's rookie season means he would never be available in the second round. Barkley is a special talent and too good to pass up here. He and Mayfield put the best two players in the draft on the same offense. -- Pat McManamon
5. Denver Broncos
Original pick: Bradley Chubb, OLB
New pick: Bradley Chubb, OLB
The same scenario stayed in place for the Broncos. With Mayfield and Darnold -- the quarterbacks they liked best -- off the board, they would have looked to trade down, as they did on draft day. But Denver would have scuttled those plans when Chubb was still available. The Broncos' enthusiasm was well-founded, as Chubb was one of the league's best rookies, finishing with 12 sacks. -- Jeff Legwold
6. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ)
Original pick: Quenton Nelson, G
New pick: Quenton Nelson, G
The board allowed the Colts to again take Nelson, who didn't miss a snap and made the All-Pro team as a rookie. He was a major factor in the unit's giving up an NFL-low 18 sacks. -- Mike Wells
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Original pick: Josh Allen, QB (BUF traded up)
New pick: Derwin James, S
The Bucs need an upgrade at safety, and James is a playmaker and a ball hawk. James' physical style would be the perfect complement to Justin Evans' range. James had three interceptions and eight pass breakups, and he has a shot at being named Defensive Rookie of the Year. -- Jenna Laine
8. Chicago Bears
Original pick: Roquan Smith, LB
New pick: Roquan Smith, LB
Smith is still the choice. The Georgia product finished with a team-high 122 tackles -- the second most tackles ever by a Bears rookie, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher. -- Jeff Dickerson
9. San Francisco 49ers
Original pick: Mike McGlinchey, OT
New pick: Darius Leonard, LB
McGlinchey was good, and the Niners don't regret taking him, but a re-draft offers the benefit of hindsight. Knowing what we know about Reuben Foster and the team's need for star power on defense, Leonard was simply too good to pass up. -- Nick Wagoner
10. Oakland Raiders
Original pick: Josh Rosen, QB (ARI traded up)
New pick: Denzel Ward, CB
Keep the Raiders' real first-round draft pick while adding a Pro Bowler to pair up with an emerging stud? Sign me up. Putting Ward opposite a finally healthy Gareon Conley, a former Ohio State teammate who had three picks in 2018, would provide a sense of familiarity. -- Paul Gutierrez
11. Miami Dolphins
Original pick: Minkah Fitzpatrick, S
New pick: Lamar Jackson, QB
Fitzpatrick was a strong pick for the Dolphins, and he will be a central player for the defense for years to come. But they desperately need a young franchise quarterback. Jackson immediately speeds up the timeline on the team's rebuild, allowing a smooth transition from Ryan Tannehill. -- Cameron Wolfe
12. Buffalo Bills (from CIN)
Original pick: Vita Vea, DT (TB traded up)
New pick: Josh Rosen, QB
Some Bills fans were upset during the draft when Buffalo traded up to No. 7 and took Allen instead of Rosen. Some might not be happy that Rosen is the choice here, but he is the only remaining quarterback who makes sense without the ability to trade up. -- Mike Rodak
13. Washington Redskins
Original pick: Daron Payne, DT
New pick: Minkah Fitzpatrick, S
Payne was a good choice; he's a solid player. But the Redskins liked Fitzpatrick before the draft, and they might have taken him ahead of Payne. His versatility in the secondary is a major plus; he also provides a future leader in the backfield. Also, knowing that the Redskins can get Tim Settle in later rounds -- as they did in April -- allows them to bypass a defensive lineman here. -- John Keim
14. Green Bay Packers
Original pick: Marcus Davenport, DE (NO traded up)
New pick: Jaire Alexander, CB
The Packers took Alexander at No. 18 after they traded picks, but they'd take him again at No. 14 after the impact he made on their defense. It appears they finally got it right with one of their early-round cornerback picks. Alexander was a pass-breakup machine as a rookie. -- Rob Demovsky
15. Arizona Cardinals
Original pick: Kolton Miller, OT (OAK pick in ARI trade up)
New pick: Mike McGlinchey, OT
If all the quarterbacks are off the board at No. 15, Arizona needs the next-best thing: someone to protect the quarterback. Drafting McGlinchey could give Arizona a young right tackle to complement D.J. Humphries at left tackle. -- Josh Weinfuss
16. Baltimore Ravens
Original pick: Tremaine Edmunds, LB (BUF traded up)
New pick: Calvin Ridley, WR
With Lamar Jackson being selected in the top 10 instead of lasting until the bottom of the first round, the Ravens take the top wide receiver in the draft. Baltimore has repeatedly needed more playmakers on the outside, and Ridley can make an immediate impact, especially in the red zone. Under this scenario, however, the Ravens wouldn't land their future franchise quarterback, and Joe Flacco likely remains the starter in 2019. -- Jamison Hensley
17. Los Angeles Chargers
Original pick: Derwin James, S
New pick: Leighton Vander Esch, LB
With James off the board in the top 10, the Chargers fill another need at linebacker. They struggled to stop the run in a humbling loss to the Patriots in the divisional round with linebackers Denzel Perryman, Jatavis Brown and Kyzir White all on injured reserve. Vander Esch adds athleticism and playmaking ability. -- Eric D. Williams
18. Seattle Seahawks
Original pick: Jaire Alexander, CB (GB traded up)
New pick: Tremaine Edmunds, LB
The Seahawks drafted Rashaad Penny to reinforce their run-centric offense after trading down at the end of Round 1. Penny showed some encouraging flashes, and he projects to have a larger role next season, but Edmunds is the better choice in this scenario. He would have been valuable when K.J. Wright went out because of a knee injury. -- Brady Henderson
19. Dallas Cowboys
Original pick: Leighton Vander Esch, LB
New pick: Dallas Goedert, TE
The Cowboys liked Goedert entering the draft. Although this might be a little high for a tight end, there's not a defensive player worth selecting at a position of need, as Vander Esch was last April. -- Todd Archer
20. Detroit Lions
Original pick: Frank Ragnow, C/G
New pick: Will Hernandez, G
I could have stuck with Ragnow here because he played well as a rookie. But considering how the club used Ragnow -- as a guard, not a center -- Hernandez seemed to make more sense because he is a natural guard who had a strong season and could be a future stalwart. Detroit couldn't have gone wrong with either player, though. -- Michael Rothstein
21. Cincinnati Bengals (from BUF)
Original pick: Billy Price, C
New pick: Frank Ragnow, C
Ragnow had the edge over Price in the original draft, and with him available, the Bengals stick with the same position but get their first choice. Since Ragnow also can play guard, the Bengals could've played him ahead of Alex Redmond and allowed Trey Hopkins to play center, giving them some flexibility. -- Katherine Terrell
22. Buffalo Bills (from KC)
Original pick: Rashaan Evans, LB (TEN traded up)
New pick: Billy Price, C
The Bills' offensive line was a disaster, and it will be a focal point of the 2019 offseason. Ragnow would have been the choice here, but the Bills will settle for Price. -- Mike Rodak
23. New England Patriots (from LAR)
Original pick: Isaiah Wynn, OT/G
New pick: Daron Payne, DT
The Patriots might have their left tackle of the future in Wynn, so the move to Payne is only a result of Wynn's spending his rookie season on injured reserve after tearing his Achilles tendon. Payne played at Alabama under Nick Saban, one of Bill Belichick's close friends in the business, and he plays a hard-to-fill position at the heart of the line of scrimmage. The pick also forecasts ahead to 2019, when Malcom Brown and Danny Shelton are unrestricted free agents. -- Mike Reiss
24. Carolina Panthers
Original pick: DJ Moore, WR
New pick: DJ Moore, WR
Nothing would have changed here. The Panthers needed a top wide receiver and felt Moore was the best in the draft, selecting him over Ridley. With Ridley gone here, the option remained Moore, who proved worthy of being the No. 1 receiver the second half of the season. -- David Newton
25. Tennessee Titans
Original pick: Hayden Hurst, TE (BAL pick from TEN trade up)
New pick: Harold Landry, OLB
Landry was the best remaining edge rusher on the board, and that was a position of need for the Titans. Instead of giving up draft capital to move up and pick Landry in the second round, the team picks him here. Landry gives the Titans a promising player who can anchor their pass rush for years to come, which is especially important with the expiring contracts for Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo. -- Turron Davenport
26. Atlanta Falcons
Original pick: Calvin Ridley, WR
New pick: Braden Smith, G/OT
The Falcons should have considered upgrading the offensive line over adding another receiver to begin with, so why not look at a versatile lineman such as Smith? He is capable of playing guard and tackle, and he would have been a starter on the Falcons' line. -- Vaughn McClure
27. New Orleans Saints
Original pick: Rashaad Penny, RB (SEA traded up with GB from earlier NO deal)
New pick: Marcus Davenport, DE
This is an easy choice for the Saints, since they land the same guy at No. 27 after trading all the way up to No. 14 to get him in the real thing. The reason New Orleans coveted Davenport was that elite edge rushers have become the second-hardest commodity to acquire, after quarterbacks. He has the chance to become one after a promising rookie year that included 4.5 sacks and 12 QB hits. -- Mike Triplett
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Original pick: Terrell Edmunds, S
New pick: Nick Chubb, RB
With Le'Veon Bell most likely heading to a new team, the Steelers have a chance to rebuild their running game and provide more balance for the offense. Chubb is the best back in the draft not named Saquon Barkley and can pair with James Conner for a vicious tandem. The top defensive playmakers were off the board, so Pittsburgh must get secondary help in the second round. -- Jeremy Fowler
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
Original pick: Taven Bryan, DT
New pick: Christian Kirk, WR
The Jaguars needed to add a playmaker -- not take a player with an eye toward 2019 -- and Kirk is the best receiver on the board here. -- Mike DiRocco
30. Minnesota Vikings
Original pick: Mike Hughes, CB
New pick: James Daniels, C/G
Would drafting an interior lineman at No. 30 have solved all of the Vikings' problems along the offensive line? Probably not. But going with Daniels, who became a full-time starter for the Bears around the same time Brian O'Neill became a full-time starter in Minnesota, would have allowed Mike Remmers to move back to right tackle and aided some of the Vikings' issues at guard. -- Courtney Cronin
31. New England Patriots
Original pick: Sony Michel, RB
New pick: Sony Michel, RB
As he showed in a divisional-round win over the Chargers, 5-foot-11, 215-pound Michel can be a go-to option in the most important game of the season. Asked what traits stand out in Michel, Bill Belichick said, "He's had a lot of production in his career; we'd seen it certainly when he was in college. Good vision. Strong. Runs with good pad level. Gains yards after contact. He's got a good set of running skills." -- Mike Reiss
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Original pick: Lamar Jackson, QB (BAL traded up)
New pick: Courtland Sutton, WR
The Eagles' first selection in the real draft came at No. 49, as they picked tight end Dallas Goedert, who was snatched up by Dallas here. The Eagles need a steady presence opposite Alshon Jeffery, and Sutton would provide that. Philly will gladly take 6-3, 216-pound Sutton, who had 42 catches for 704 yards and four TDs for the Broncos. His 16.8 yards per reception ranked seventh in the NFL. -- Tim McManus
ROUND 2
33. Cleveland Browns
Original pick: Austin Corbett, G/OT
New pick: Donte Jackson, CB
Jackson was the second-best corner in the class. Not getting Denzel Ward in the first round hurts and makes taking a corner here necessary. -- Pat McManamon
34. New York Giants
Original pick: Will Hernandez, G
New pick: Phillip Lindsay, RB
Since the Giants didn't take Barkley in the first round, a Pro Bowl running back in the second round was too good to pass up. Hernandez already was gone in this scenario, but an offensive lineman was in consideration. If the draft unfolded this way, the Giants would've had to address the O-line in later rounds. Lindsay went undrafted in April. -- Jordan Raanan
35. Cleveland Browns (from HOU)
Original pick: Nick Chubb, RB
New pick: Da'Shawn Hand, DL
Hand can play inside and out, and he provides depth and possibilities for different combinations on the defensive front with the Browns' other players. -- Pat McManamon
36. Indianapolis Colts
Original pick: Darius Leonard, LB
New pick: Sam Hubbard, DE
The Colts need all the help they can get in the pass-rush department. Hubbard had six sacks and 9.5 tackles for a loss as a rookie. -- Mike Wells
37. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ)
Original pick: Braden Smith, G/OT
New pick: Fred Warner, LB
With Darius Leonard jumping all the way up to No. 9 here, Warner will be the focal point of the linebacker group for years to come. Warner finished 12th in the league in tackles with 124. -- Mike Wells
38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Original pick: Ronald Jones II, RB
New pick: Vita Vea, DT
In this scenario, the Bucs manage to get a game-wrecking safety in James and the player they drafted in Round 1. Despite a slow start due to a calf injury, Vea emerged midway through the season, recording three sacks and four tackles for a loss. Plus, he gives the defensive line future security with its leader, Gerald McCoy, getting older. -- Jenna Laine
39. Chicago Bears
Original pick: James Daniels, C/G
New pick: Anthony Miller, WR
Daniels already is off the board here, and Miller's future is extremely bright. After battling shoulder issues most of the season, Miller still finished with 33 catches for 423 yards and seven touchdowns. -- Jeff Dickerson
40. Denver Broncos
Original pick: Courtland Sutton, WR
New pick: Isaiah Oliver, CB
The Broncos wanted Sutton with this pick, and they might even have tried to move up in the re-draft scenario if they believed he was going to be selected earlier. They also would have eyed offensive line help, including James Daniels, given his versatility on the inside at both guard and center. But in the end, Oliver is a player they knew well and liked, so he would have gotten a long look here, as would have Isaiah Wynn. -- Jeff Legwold
41. Oakland Raiders
Original pick: Harold Landry, OLB (TEN traded up)
New pick: Kolton Miller, OT
Miller, thrust into action sooner than preferred at left tackle, is still available in the second round. He impressed early, before knee and elbow issues slowed him, and contributed to Derek Carr's taking a few too many lumps -- a career-high 51 sacks after being sacked a combined 36 times the previous two seasons. But the Raiders would love the value of the pick, especially in a position of need. -- Paul Gutierrez
42. Miami Dolphins
Original pick: Mike Gesicki, TE
New pick: Maurice Hurst, DT
Hurst was a possible first-round pick before a heart issue contributed to his falling to the fifth round; but he didn't have problems as a rookie, racking up four sacks along the interior of the Raiders' defensive line. In this re-draft, Hurst provides much-needed interior pass rush for Miami. -- Cameron Wolfe
43. New England Patriots (from SF)
Original pick: Kerryon Johnson, RB (DET traded up)
New pick: Isaiah Wynn, OT/G
At 6-2 and 310 pounds, Wynn doesn't have the prototypical physical makeup for a franchise left tackle, but that's where the Patriots projected him to play after picking him at No. 23. Some teams viewed him more as a guard, which might have lowered his value overall. So, one fascinating thing to consider in the re-draft is whether the Patriots would have had a chance to select Wynn at No. 31 or this pick at 43, had they passed on him with their top selection. -- Mike Reiss
44. Washington Redskins
Original pick: Dante Pettis, WR (SF traded up)
New pick: Rashaan Evans, LB
The Redskins continue the Alabama pipeline by adding a talented linebacker with good speed and athleticism who can help in running and passing situations. With Fitzpatrick and Evans, the Redskins start to build a quality defense with leaders at each level (along with 2017 first-round pick Jonathan Allen on the line). The versatility of Evans and Fitzpatrick would provide the chance to be creative and match up versus modern offenses. -- John Keim
45. Green Bay Packers
Original pick: Josh Jackson, CB
New pick: Dante Pettis, WR
The chance to grab a playmaking receiver was too good to pass up here. Pettis was tied for third among rookie receivers with five touchdown catches. He was first in yards per catch (17.3). -- Rob Demovsky
46. Cincinnati Bengals
Original pick: Breeland Speaks, DE (KC traded up)
New pick: Jessie Bates, S
Bates was the Bengals' best rookie, so it makes sense they would stick with him, especially with their third-round pick Sam Hubbard off the board. Bates will be a starter for years to come, and his selection paved the way for the team to part ways with veteran George Iloka. -- Katherine Terrell
47. Arizona Cardinals
Original pick: Christian Kirk, WR
New pick: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR
One of the Cardinals' liabilities was at receiver, a position they addressed by drafting Kirk in the second round. But since he's off the board here, 6-4 Valdes-Scantling might be a better pick, giving the Cardinals a target who could work the sidelines and corners of the end zone. -- Josh Weinfuss
48. Los Angeles Chargers
Original pick: Uchenna Nwosu, OLB
New pick: Uchenna Nwosu, OLB
The Chargers stick with the original choice here. The Southern California product played 251 defensive snaps as a rookie, totaling 27 combined tackles and 3.5 sacks. He also had a strip sack of Lamar Jackson to seal the wild-card playoff win over the Ravens. The Chargers like Nwosu's potential and versatility. -- Eric D. Williams
49. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ via SEA)
Original pick: Dallas Goedert, TE (PHI traded up)
New pick: Tyquan Lewis, DL
A foot injury caused Lewis to miss time at the start of the season, and another knee injury in Week 17 caused him to miss the two playoff games. But Lewis' ability to play inside and on the outside is a value to the Colts. He started six of the eight games he played and had two sacks and three tackles for a loss. -- Mike Wells
50. Dallas Cowboys
Original pick: Connor Williams, G
New pick: Connor Williams, G
Williams played better after returning from midseason knee surgery, and the Cowboys believe in his upside, so I'm passing on a defender here to continue to bolster the offensive line. -- Todd Archer
51. Detroit Lions
Original pick: Anthony Miller, WR (CHI traded up with NE)
New pick: Kerryon Johnson, RB
The Lions needed a running back in this draft, and with Johnson still sitting there at Detroit's original spot, taking him again after a strong rookie year makes sense. He is the present and future for Detroit. Rashaad Penny was an intriguing option, but Johnson's play earned him the stick-with-him selection. -- Michael Rothstein
52. Baltimore Ravens
Original pick: Kemoko Turay, OLB (IND pick from PHI trade up)
New pick: Mark Andrews, TE
By not re-signing Benjamin Watson in free agency, the Ravens need to draft a pass-catching tight end. That's why Baltimore selected Hayden Hurst in the first round and Andrews in the third. But the Ravens can't wait that late for Andrews, who was the most productive rookie tight end. He was the most consistent big-play target in the Ravens' passing game. -- Jamison Hensley
53. Buffalo Bills
Original pick: M.J. Stewart, CB (TB pick from trade with BUF)
New pick: Rashaad Penny, RB
The Seahawks reached for Penny in the actual draft, and his rookie season was underwhelming. But he presents better value at this point and would be the young replacement to LeSean McCoy the Bills desperately need. -- Mike Rodak
54. Kansas City Chiefs
Original pick: Jessie Bates, S (CIN pick from KC trade up)
New pick: Josh Jackson, CB
The Chiefs traded up in reality to select Breeland Speaks, who was mostly a backup as a rookie; he was a consideration here, because Dee Ford will be a free agent this offseason and Justin Houston will have turned 30 years old in January. But Jackson would fit in well. The Chiefs need to restock at cornerback, where starter Steven Nelson is a free agent. -- Adam Teicher
55. Carolina Panthers
Original pick: Donte Jackson, CB
New pick: Mason Rudolph, QB
Had the Panthers known Cam Newton was going to experience shoulder issues, they would have drafted a quarterback here to start building as a precaution. Rudolph was the best available. With Newton's shoulder still an issue moving into this offseason, the team likely will use a pick in the 2019 draft on a quarterback. -- David Newton
56. Buffalo Bills (from LAR)
Original pick: Duke Dawson, CB (NE traded up with TB, who got pick from BUF)
New pick: Hayden Hurst, TE
Hurst was a disappointment as a rookie, but he represents better value late in the second round. Buffalo received little production from Charles Clay in 2018, putting his roster spot in jeopardy in 2019. Taking a swing on Hurst's talent would make sense here. -- Mike Rodak
57. Tennessee Titans
Original pick: P.J. Hall, DL (OAK pick from TEN trade up)
New pick: Antonio Callaway, WR
The Titans needed a versatile receiver who can add explosiveness and double as a punt returner. They get both at the bottom of the second round in Callaway. Off-field issues caused him to drop in April, but there's no mistaking his ability to impact games. -- Turron Davenport
58. Atlanta Falcons
Original pick: Isaiah Oliver, CB
New pick: B.J. Hill, DT
Oliver is off the board, and he would be the pick again if he weren't. So instead, we'll go with a guy who played on the interior of the defensive line in college and showed his ability to pass rush for the Giants as a rookie (5.5 sacks). -- Vaughn McClure
59. San Francisco 49ers (from NO)
Original pick: Derrius Guice, RB (WSH pick from SF trade)
New pick: Justin Reid, S
A bevy of injuries at safety meant the Niners finished the season with six safeties playing at least 300 snaps. Reid had a solid rookie season and would have offered some much-needed stability in the secondary. -- Nick Wagoner
60. Pittsburgh Steelers
Original pick: James Washington, WR
New pick: Terrell Edmunds, S
The Steelers' original first-round pick falls to them in the second. The organization would be happy. Edmunds proved reliable in a starter's role, playing a team-high 1,190 snaps with 78 tackles and an interception. His tackling needs improvement, but he is a rangy athlete in the open field. Taking Edmunds is a close call over cornerbacks Mike Hughes and J.C. Jackson. -- Jeremy Fowler
61. Jacksonville Jaguars
Original pick: DJ Chark, WR
New pick: Orlando Brown Jr., OT
The Jaguars said they had a first-round grade on Chark, but he was a big disappointment as a rookie because of ball-security issues and drops. Brown is a nasty player who would have been a huge help after injuries devastated the offensive line, though it's highly likely he could have beaten out veteran Jermey Parnell in camp. -- Mike DiRocco
62. Minnesota Vikings
Original pick: Brian O'Neill, OT
New pick: Mike Hughes, CB
The Vikings still get the corner they wanted while addressing the offensive line with their first-round pick. Hughes, who tore the ACL in his left knee in October, is going to be a major part of what the Vikings do in the secondary, given his flexibility to play in the slot and outside. -- Courtney Cronin
63. New England Patriots
Original pick: Carlton Davis, CB (TB pick from NE trade)
New pick: J.C. Jackson, CB
The Patriots signed Jackson as an undrafted free agent, and he ended up playing in 13 games (five starts), elevating to a top role in crunch time opposite Stephon Gilmore. Jackson had three interceptions and played 38 percent of the defensive snaps overall. That's great value for an undrafted free agent and now worthy of second-round status. -- Mike Reiss
64. Cleveland Browns (from PHI)
Original pick: Tyquan Lewis, DL (IND traded up with CLE)
New pick: Genard Avery, LB
It would have been nice if Callaway were available here, but a pass-rushing linebacker who showed early-down potential also fits. -- Pat McManamon
