The 2016 NFL Draft was one of the more interesting ones in recent memory. The Rams would make a blockbuster trade that, unfortunately for Los Angeles fans, has not panned out to any degree thus far.
They’re not the only team that would like a second chance at this draft, though. Even if it wasn’t as extreme as the Rams’ blunder, almost every team would have liked another shot.
There was a lot of high-profile draft picks outside of the first round including Dak Prescott, Tyreek Hill, Derrick Henry, and others. It happens in every draft, but this one seemed like a swing and a miss for most NFL experts, especially consider the talent taken near the top of the board.
In terms of predicting how each player’s NFL career would pan out, this was one of the most unpredictable drafts of all time.
In the first round, 11 players selected would eventually reach an NFL Pro Bowl. Beyond that, 10 players who were either taken in later rounds or completely undrafted would find a way to reach Pro Bowl status.
In this scenario, teams will get a second chance to make the right choice. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll be using the final draft order from the 2016 NFL Draft, including trades to get to that spot.
Hindsight is 20/20, so each team will end up with the perfect possible player for their team in the 2016 NFL Draft. Who will make the right decisions this time around?
