2013 NFL Re-Draft: Chiefs Get Le’Veon Bell, Packers Land Trufant

2013 NFL Re-Draft: Chiefs Get Le’Veon Bell, Packers Land Trufant

It's been four full seasons since those chosen in the 2013 NFL Draft heard their names called, a substantial enough length of time to further assess the class. 

Here is a re-do of that draft, replacing actual selections with the class' most valuable players to date, using Pro-Football-Reference.com's Career Approximate Value (CarAV).

AV is explained by Doug Drinen here.

ACTUAL                                               REDRAFT

No. Team Actual Pick CarAV Re-Draft CarAV
1 Kansas City Eric Fisher, OT — Central Michigan 27 Le'Veon Bell, RB — Michigan St. 43
2 Jacksonville Luke Joeckel, OT — Texas A&M 17 David Bakhtiari, OT — Colorado 41
3 Miami Dion Jordan, DE — Oregon 3 Travis Frederick, C 39
4 Philadelphia Lane Johnson, OT — Oklahoma 22 Eddie Lacy, RB — Alabama 34
5 Detroit Ezekiel Ansah, DE — BYU 30 Kyle Long, OG 33
6 Cleveland Barkevious Mingo, LB — LSU 12 Jamie Collins, LB — So. Miss 33
7 Arizona Jonathan Cooper, OG — North Carolina 7 DeAndre Hopkins, WR 31
8 St. Louis Tavon Austin, WR — West Virginia 20 Alec Ogletree, LB 31
9 NY Jets Dee Millner, CB — Alabama 6 Ezekiel Ansah, DE 30
10 Tennessee Chance Warmack, OG — Alabama 19 D.J. Fluker, OT 30
11 San Diego D.J. Fluker, OT — Alabama 30 Giovani Bernard, RB — North Carolina 29
12 Oakland D.J. Hayden, CB — Houston 10 Eric Fisher, OT 27
13 NY Jets Sheldon Richardson, DT — Missouri 26 Kawann Short, DT — Purdue 27
14 Carolina Star Lotulelei — Utah 26 Travis Kelce, TE — Cincinnati 27
15 New Orleans Kenny Vaccaro, S — Texas 18 Jordan Mills, OT — Louisiana Tech 27
16 Buffalo EJ Manuel, QB — Florida St. 10 Sheldon Richardson, DT 26
17 Pittsburgh Jarvis Jones, LB — Georgia 18 Star Lotulelei, DT 26
18 San Francisco Eric Reid, S — LSU 23 Larry Warford, OG — Kentucky 25
19 NY Giants Justin Pugh, OT — Syracuse 23 Brandon Williams, DT — Missouri So. 24
20 Chicago Kyle Long, OG — Oregon 33 Eric Reid, S 23
21 Cincinnati Tyler Eifert, TE — Notre Dame 12 Justin Pugh, OT 23
22 Atlanta Desmond Trufant, CB — Washington 22 Xavier Rhodes, CB 23
23 Minnesota Sharrif Floyd, DT — Florida 13 Sylvester Williams, DT 23
24 Indiananapolis Bjoern Werner, DE — Florida St. 10 Terrance Williams, WR — Baylor 23
25 Minnesota Xavier Rhodes, CB — Florida St. 23 Lane Johnson, OT 22
26 Green Bay Datone Jones, DE — UCLA 9 Desmond Trufant, CB 22
27 Houston DeAndre Hopkins, WR — Clemson 31 Bennie Logan, DT — LSU 22
28 Denver Sylvester Williams, DT — North Carolina 23 Terron Armstead, OT — Ark. Pine-Bluff 22
29 Minnesota Cordarrelle Patterson, WR — Tennessee 18 Kenny Stills, WR — Oklahoma 22
30 St. Louis Alec Ogletree, LB — Georgia 31 Ricky Wagner, OT — Wisconsin 22
31 Dallas Travis Frederick, C — Wisconsin 39 Jonathan Cyprien, S — Fla. International 21
32 Baltimore  Matt Elam, CB– Florida 12 Zach Ertz, TE — Stanford 21

While the top of the draft would change if all 32 teams could do it over again, the to players by AV may not be the Top 2 picks.

Kansas City probably passes on Bell, even in hindsight, since Jamaal Charles had just come off nearly 2,800 yards in 30 games the previous two years and had four years left on his contract that the time. But Bell certainly would have a first-round pick rather than sliding to No. 48 overall. The Chiefs are doing just fine with Fisher, who has been strong after a sluggish start to his career.

Miami missed out on a star center in Travis Frederick at No. 3 but had already selected three-time Pro Bowl selection Mike Pouncey in 2011. Perhaps the Dolphins end up with Bell in a real-life re-draft? 

Jacksonville at No. 2 still get their tackle, but it's David Bakhtiari in this scenario. While Eddie Lacy's CarAv is significant higher than that of Lane Johnson, the Eagles probably wouldn't go back and make that swap considering the current status of each player — Lacy has been injured and Johnson has been very good opposite Jason Peters.

Arizona at No. 7 probably opts for another option, whether that be WR DeAndre Hopkins or LB Alec Ogletree and Oakland at No. 12 likely would take a number of other options with the struggles of D.J, Hayden.

The same can be said for Buffalo at No. 16 (EJ Manuel, QB) and Green Bay at No. 26 (Datone Jones, DE), among others.

Those who wouldn't change a thing? Dallas at No. 31 (Frederick), St. Louis at No. 30 (Ogletree) and Houston at No. 27 (Hopkins)

The Vikings did well with cornerback Xavier Rhodes at No. 25 but would they swap that pick out for Johnson to lend some life to the Minnesota offensive line? Perhaps.
