DRAFT REDUX: WHAT THE 2009 DRAFT MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE IF TEAMS KNEW THEN WHAT THEY KNOW NOW!

13. Sebastian Vollmer

23. Austin Collie (over Kenny Britt or Mike Wallace?)

I was hoping we would get Kenny Britt last year and I rate him ahead of Collie or Wallace

Vollmer's a top 5 pick in any redo IMO.

Let's not go crazy. The only tackle that would go that high in a redo is Oher. Vollmer had his struggles just like the rest of the o-line

Really? One sack allowed? Twelve pressures?

He was the best rookie OT, better than Oher, and certainly better than Loadholt.

I'm going to kinda of agree here, Oher was Solid but a lot of the hype came from that movie.. Vollmer was as good or a notch below.. And i say notch below because of the injury..

Vollmer's rookie season was a resounding success.

Collie would have been an excellent pic, however long term I'm pleased that they grabbed Butler, Chung and Brace in Rd 2. Gotta give the rooks time to develop.

If he hadn't been catching passes from Manning would anyone even have heard of him ? Think there is a chance you could take one of 20 receivers in last years draft, stick them in the Colts offence and they would catch plenty of pig skin. Not saying he isn't a good receiver but I personally think it's a big stretch to say he is a 1st round talent.

Wow Matthews and Laurinaitus, both could have been Patriots. Ouch ! What a kick in the arse passing on those two.

I wonder what the 2009 draft redux will look like after the 2010 season after some of the rookies from this class have their so-called, "sophomore slump"? Hopefully Sanchez gets it.
