Mel Kiper 2005 redraft

[ctpatsfan77]

It's on ESPN Insider, so I can't share the whole thing, but according to Reiss:

Logan Mankins goes from #32 to the Vikings at #19
Robbie Gould (Pats UDFA) goes from UDFA to #30 [As Kiper notes, it's in terms of production; he'd never put a kicker in round 1.]
Matt Cassel goes from #230 to #7.

I think I may be missing the point of this article. Is this really Mel Kiper Jr. looking back in hindsight and telling us who he thinks what teams should have picked back in 2005 based on what we know now?

If so then isn't this like me writing an article about what lottery numbers I would have picked for the past two years based on what I know now?

He is not talking about what picks teams should have made, but how things worked out. For me, what is interesting is that the article emphasizes how much of a crapshoot the draft is. Belichick keeps saying that, but people routinely do not understand it. Apparently, it needs to be said over and over and over again.

I can't wait for Kiper to do a 2010 redraft sometime down the road where he tries to make the argument that St. Louis would take Clausen over Bradford if they could do it over again.
