2011 NFL Draft Revisited
 

Was looking at the 2011 draft again and, man, it is shaping up to be a monster. Take a look at the 10 guys picked ahead of J.J. -

1. Cam Newton
2. Von Miller
3. Marcell Dareus
4. A. J. Green
5. Patrick Peterson
6. Julio Jones
7. Aldon Smith
8. Jake Locker
9. Tyrone Smith
10. Blaine Gabbert
11. J.J. Watt

Despite J.J. being arguably the best defensive player in football, there is a decent chance that 6 of those teams wouldn't trade who they drafted for him (Newton, Miller, Green, Peterson, Jones, and Smith). That's crazy. Plus, several of these guys can already make a pretty good claim to being one of the best players at their respective positions, despite only being in the league for a year and a half.

I am thankful that Jacksonville's GM is so inept. What if they had taken Watt? What would their DL look like with Watt added to it?
