Draft Do-Over: 10 Players the Patriots Could Have Drafted Instead of Ryan Mallett

1) Richard Sherman — How interesting would this have been? Sherman’s vocal persona might contradict Bill Belichick’s in-house style, but there’s no denying his ability. Of course, hindsight being 20/20, Sherman would be a top five pick in the 2011 draft.

If he was on the team in 2014, however, would the team still have targeted Darrelle Revis? Who knows, maybe that changes the course of history. But there’s no question he would be an impact player for this team.

Actual Draft Position: Round 5, 154 overall
