A couple of weeks ago, we posted about the re-do of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft that SB Nation bloggers conducted. In that re-draft, I selected QB Patrick Mahomes at No. 1 overall and WR Chris Godwin at No. 12 overall.
The second round of the re-draft is now complete. The Browns had two more picks: No. 33 and No. 52 overall. What I found in this exercise is that it actually became really tough to draft in the second round, despite the hindsight. That is because in most drafts, there are so many misses in the first round: but in the re-draft, the best of the best 32 players were already taken, so there is no such thing as finding a gem any more.
