NFL evaluators will wait for three years to determine whether their prized prospects have lived up to the expectations that accompanied their arrivals as top picks. With the 2015 regular season in the books -- and with the Chiefs, who had the top pick in 2013, still alive in the playoffs -- it's a great time to assess the 2013 class and conduct a redo based on what we now know about the top players. After taking some time to reassess the prospects and the pressing needs of each team, here’s how the 2013 draft would look if the general managers took another stab at the selection process.
1. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Pick:Eric Fisher
Do-over:DeAndre Hopkins
Comment: Hopkins would give the Chiefs an explosive WR1 to build around with Alex Smith at the controls.
2. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Pick:Luke Joeckel
Do-over:Ezekiel Ansah
Comment: The Jaguars have desperately needed an athletic DPR with explosive rush skills to feature off the edges in Gus Bradley's scheme.
3. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Pick:Dion Jordan
Do-over:Kyle Long
Comment: Long entered the NFL as a developmental prospect, but has blossomed into a Pro Bowl-caliber blocker at multiple spots.
4. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Pick:Lane Johnson
Do-over:Lane Johnson
Comment: The Eagles have fielded one of the NFL's top offensive lines since Johnson teamed with Jason Peters to solidify the edges as athletic bookends.
5. DETROIT LIONS
Pick:Ezekiel Ansah
Do-over:Le'Veon Bell
Comment: Bell would've followed in the footsteps of Billy Sims and Barry Sanders as an electric runner blazing the turf in the Motor City.
6. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Pick:Barkevious Mingo
Do-over:Sheldon Richardson
Comment: Richardson is a perfect fit for the Dawg Pound as a destructive force with immense talent and a surly attitude.
7. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Pick:Jonathan Cooper
Do-over:Tyrann Mathieu
Comment: The "Honey Badger" is the Cardinals' best player, and the heart and soul of a championship-caliber defense.
8. RAMS
Pick:Tavon Austin
Do-over: Same
Comment: Jeff Fisher hasn't fully maximized the diminutive playmaker's talents due to suspect quarterback play, but Austin's flashy game would make him a marquee name in Hollywood.
9. NEW YORK JETS
Pick:Dee Milliner
Do-over:Tyler Eifert
Comment: The Jets haven't had a dynamic "MOF" playmaker since Mickey Shuler roamed Shea Stadium in the 1980s.
10. TENNESSEE TITANS
Pick:Chance Warmack
Do-over:Travis Frederick
Comment: The perennial Pro Bowler would be the perfect pivot to protect Marcus Mariota from taking shots from interior pass rushers.
11. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Pick:D.J. Fluker
Do-over:Kawann Short
Comment: The Chargers could use a rugged interior defender with a nice mix of run-stopping ability and pass-rush skills.
12. OAKLAND RAIDERS
Pick:D.J. Hayden
Do-over:Cordarrelle Patterson
Comment: Patterson's speed and big-play ability as a kick returner would make him an ideal Raider selection.
13. NEW YORK JETS
Pick:Sheldon Richardson
Do-over:Desmond Trufant
Comment: Todd Bowles loves cover corners with the awareness and ball skills that Trufant displays on the island.
14. CAROLINA PANTHERS
Pick:Star Lotulelei
Do-over:Jamie Collins
Comment: Imagine if the Panthers could trot out Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and Collins in their base defense. It would be a scary combination of defenders to feature in an aggressive zone-blitz scheme.
15. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Pick:Kenny Vaccaro
Do-over:Keenan Allen
Comment: The Saints could use a big-bodied WR1 like Allen to feature in Sean Payton's aggressive aerial attack.
16. BUFFALO BILLS
Pick:EJ Manuel
Do-over:Chance Warmack
Comment: Warmack is the perfect people-mover to thrive in the Bills' ground-and-pound scheme.
17. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Pick:Jarvis Jones
Do-over:Xavier Rhodes
Comment: Mike Tomlin likes long, rangy corners with ball skills to play in the Steelers' revamped zone-based scheme. Rhodes has grown into a top-notch defender early in his career.
18. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Pick:Eric Reid
Do-over: Same
Comment: Given Reid's quick ascension to the ranks of the elite, the 49ers would gladly take the ex-LSU standout in a redo.
19. NEW YORK GIANTS
Pick:Justin Pugh
Do-over:Travis Kelce
Comment: The G-Men have traditionally gotten production from late-round or undrafted prospects at the position, but a talented pass-catcher like Kelce would merit serious consideration at the top of the draft.
20. CHICAGO BEARS
Pick:Kyle Long
Do-over:Eric Fisher
Comment: Despite his impressive physical dimensions, the Bears would need to patiently wait for Fisher to develop into a quality starter at left or right tackle.
21. CINCINNATI BENGALS
Pick:Tyler Eifert
Do-over:Jordan Reed
Comment: The Bengals' electric offense would certainly benefit from a mismatch player like Reed on the perimeter. The hybrid playmaker would alleviate some of the pressure on A.J. Green to carry the passing game as a WR1.
22. ATLANTA FALCONS
Pick:Desmond Trufant
Do-over:Eddie Lacy
23. MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Pick:Sharrif Floyd
Do-over: Same
Comment: Mike Zimmer has quickly transformed the Vikings into a bully in the NFC behind a rugged defense that overpowers opponents in the middle. Floyd is a big part of the reconstruction with his dominance as an interior defender.
24. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Pick:Bjoern Werner
Do-over:Luke Joeckel
Comment: It would be wise for the Colts to invest in an edge blocker to protect the team's biggest asset (Andrew Luck).
25. MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Pick:Xavier Rhodes
Do-over:D.J. Fluker
Comment: With Adrian Peterson in the backfield, it's always a smart decision to add a people-pusher to the mix to upgrade the rushing attack.
26. GREEN BAY PACKERS
Pick:Datone Jones
Do-over:Kenny Vaccaro
Comment: After watching Charles Woodson dominate in Lambeau with his diverse skill set, the Packers would certainly entertain the idea of adding a versatile defender like Vaccaro to the lineup.
27. HOUSTON TEXANS
Pick:DeAndre Hopkins
Do-over:Justin Pugh
Comment: Pugh's versatility (offensive guard/tackle) would provide Bill O'Brien with lineup flexibility on game day.
28. DENVER BRONCOS
Pick:Sylvester Williams
Do-over:Jarvis Jones
Comment: Wade Phillips collects pass rushers like trading cards, so the Broncos would have a tough time bypassing Jones at this stage of the draft.
29. MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Do-over:Alec Ogletree
Comment: Ogletree's speed and athleticism would shine in Zimmer's attack-style defense.
30. RAMS
Pick:Alec Ogletree
Do-over:Manti Te'o
Comment: With the girlfriend hoax in the rearview mirror, Jeff Fisher would likely make a play for the intuitive tackling machine.
31. DALLAS COWBOYS
Pick:Travis Frederick
Do-over:Latavius Murray
Comment: Murray would absolutely kill it behind the Cowboys' star-studded offensive line that routinely mauls defenders at the point of attack.
32. BALTIMORE RAVENS
Pick:Matt Elam
Do-over:Darius Slay
Comment: Slay would solve the Ravens' cornerback woes with his sticky cover skills on the perimeter.
