Today we’re going to be redrafting every number one overall pick since 2000 no more whiffs or bus just the best player going number one overall every single time we’re going to be looking at every draft individually so each draft doesn’t affect the draft order or the draft pick

For the next year because that would make things way too complicated and I simply just don’t have the brain power to figure that out so we’re just going to go draft by draft and figure out who the most deserving player to go number one was with the first pick in the 2000

NFL Draft the Cleveland Browns no longer select Courtney Brown and instead take Tom Brady it’s an Nob brainer Tom Brady is the greatest NFL football player of all time and the Browns have been looking for an answer at QB pretty much since they’ve existed he’s the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards and

Passing touchdowns a three-time MVP and while we don’t know for certain if Tom Brady becomes Tom Brady if he goes to Cleveland he’s almost certainly better than Courtney Brown who spent six injury plague seasons in Cleveland before ringing bounc from the league with the first pick in the 2001 NFL draft the

Atlanta Falcons no longer take Michael Vic and instead take Drew Brees Michael Vic was an amazing player in his own right and if he didn’t get kicked out of the league for two years from his dog fighting Scandal there’s a good chance I’d still have him going number one but

Knowing what we know now the Falcons have the opportunity to take a quarterback who plays at a really high level for a really long time and doesn’t get busted for any off the- field stuff reeze was taken with the last pick of the second round by the Chargers but

Really hit his stride with the saint he led the league in passing yards on seven different occasions was a 13 Time pro bowler a Super Bowl MVP and had one of the most ridiculous stretches of quarterback play where he had three straight 5,000 passing yards season Not

Only would Breeze give the Falcons a franchise QB but it would stop their division rival Saints from ever getting their fingers on him with the first pick in the 2002 NFL draft the Houston Texans are no longer taking David Carr and instead take Ed Reed David Carr wasn’t

Exactly put in a situation to succeed as he was put behind the worst offensive line that made him the most sack QB in the league three of his five years in Houston he played 10 seasons in the league retiring with more career touchdowns and interceptions and now

Instead of Carr the Houston Texans get arguably the greatest safety of all time he’s an NFL Hall of Famer five time first First Team all pro a Super Bowl champ and the 2004 Defensive Player of the Year taking Ed Reed here could have potentially changed the course of the

Texans franchise forever with the first pick in the 2003 NFL draft the Cincinnati Bengals no longer select Carson Palmer and instead take Troy palalo Carson Palmer had a very solid NFL career where he made the Pro Bowl three times and was the best QB taken from this draft however he ended up

Playing the best football of his career for another franchise and the Bangles like the Falcons earlier got to steal a Hall of Famer from a division rival palalo originally went 16th over all to the Pittsburgh Steelers where he went on to become one of the best safeties in

The history of the NFL he made the cover of Madden was a four time all proo two-time Super Bowl champ the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year and like I said earlier an NFL Hall of Famer with a chance to make a division Rivals life harder on offense and make their life

Easier on offense as well this pick just makes so much sense for the Bengals with the first pick in the 2004 NFL draft the San Diego Chargers no longer select Eli Manning and instead take Larry Fitzgerald looking back with the power of hindsight this pick really didn’t

Make a lot of sense not only did Manning publicly state that he didn’t want to play for the Chargers but they already had a future Hall of Famer and Drew Brees they ended up taking Manning and trading him to the New York Giants in exchange for Philip Rivers who would sit

Behind Breeze for two seasons before finally getting the starting job in 2006 when Breeze left for the Saints looking back you might wonder why the Chargers would move on from Breeze after two very solid Seasons well due to him suffering a potentially career ending injury in

2005 in which he tore his labor and hyperextended his arm the Chargers offered him a contract for very little guaranteed money which caused him to leavee for the Saints lir Fitzgerald is one of the greatest wide receivers the NFL has ever seen he had more career

Tackles than drops was an 11 Time pro bowler second alltime in receiving yards sixth in receiving touchdowns and is also a Walter Payton Man of the Year winner adding fits to two Hall of Famers and Drew Brees and leaman Tomlinson would help to create one of the best

Trios the NFL has ever seen on offense with the first pick of the 2005 NFL draft the San Francisco 49ers no longer take Alex Smith and instead take Aaron Rogers of all the picks that we’ve gone over so far this one actually had a realistic shot of happening at the time

Many believe Rogers was going to go number one overall due to the fact that he was a California Native and attended the University of California on paper it was a match made in heaven however the 49ers selected Alex Smith who would go on to have a very respectable career but

Nothing compared to what Rogers did Rogers slid all the way to the Packers at pick 24 where he sat behind Brett farward for 3 years before becoming the full-time starter in 2008 and after that he never looked back putting together a Hall of Fame resume so far in his career

Rogers has won a Super Bowl a Super Bowl MVP four NFL MVPs and is a 10 times pro bowler the 49ers haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1994 they managed to lose in the playoffs and a million different heartbreaking ways while always having good offensive weapons and consistently

Feeling like they were a QB away from winning and while Rogers on the other hand and while Rogers on the other hand has a Super Bowl ring it feels like he would have a lot more if he had better offensive weapons both parties could avoid these problems by the 49ers taking

Him here instead of Alex Smith and could potentially carry the 49ers Dynasty into the 21st century with the first pick in the 2006 in NFL draft the Houston Texans no longer take Mario Williams and now select jar Evans as you can tell this wasn’t exactly the strongest NFL draft

Class there were a ton of very good players in this draft but there wasn’t a really a generational Talent Mari Williams had a very decent NFL career but didn’t quite live up to the expectations that come with being a number one overall pick he had nearly

100 career sacks and even had an all pro appearance but after being taken with 108th overall pick in the draft jari Evans ended up making the most All Pro first teams out of any player in the draft of four and was tied with the second most Pro Bowl appear es with six

Over the course of a 12year career at Right Guard and by taking him the Texans could have possibly changed the course of David Carr’s career by bringing bringing him in a half decent offensive lineman with a first pick in the 2007 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders no longer

Select JaMarcus Russell and now select Calvin Johnson JaMarcus Russell is widely regarded as the biggest bust in NFL history he was lazy he was consistently overrate and out of shape he had a life coach give up on him because he was so hopeless and even had an instance where coaches didn’t believe

He was watching film so they gave him blank caves and he proceeded to come back to practice the next day and tell them that he had watched The Blitz packages that they had given him what makes his pick sting even more is that the next two picks were NFL Hall of

Famers and Calvin Johnson and Joe Thomas and players like Adrien Peterson Patrick Willis Marshon Lynch a third Hall of Famer and derell Rivas and Greg olssen all went in the first round as well and went on to have much better careers than than Russell I have the Raiders taking

Calvin Johnson cuz Not only was he a freak of nature running a 4340 with a 42-in vertical but he holds the record for most receiving yards in a single season with 1,964 had a 329 yard receiving game was a three-time All Pro and would cover the Raiders butts for that horrible Darius

Hayward Bay pick a couple years down the line Calvin Johnson goes from having his talents wasted on the Lions to having it Wasted by the Raiders but hey at least he’ll be warm in Oakland when it happens with the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft the Miami Dolphins no longer

Select Jake Long and instead take Matt Ryan Jake long was not a bad player by any means he put together a pretty solid career where he had an all pro selection was a four Time pro bowler but throughout his entire tenure in Miami they were looking for a franchise QB

With the closest thing they got to doing so being Ryan tannahill does adding Matt Ryan bring them a Super Bowl I’m not sure because the AFC was so loaded at the time but adding a QB with an NFL MVP over 60,000 career passing yards and four Pro Bowl appearances would be a

Definite upgrade over Ryan tanah Hill and Chad Pennington with the first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the Detroit Lions still select Matthew Stafford he might not have been able to lead them to any playoff wins but Stafford is still the greatest QB in the franchise’s history

Not only did pass over 4,19 yards and 282 touchdowns over the course of 12 Years with the team but he’s also a key part of the trade that set up the franchise for the success that they’re having today they got their new franchise QB and Jared gof and use the

Picks they got to draft players that are having a big impact on their success today such as Brian Branch jir Gibbs Sam leapa and Jameson Williams I think the Lions would still select Stafford 100 times out of 100 if they knew it would lead to the revitalization of their

Franchise and City and their first playoff win in division title in over 30 years with the first first pick of the 2010 NFL draft the St Louis Rams no longer select Sam Bradford and instead select Rob gronowski Bradford won offensive rookie of the year after signing a record-breaking rookie

Contract worth $78 million over 6 years but really didn’t accomplish much after that because he just couldn’t stay healthy this pick is especially ugly when you consider the next six players taken were perennial pro bowlers on top of players like Earl Thomas Jason Pierre Paul Mike iopa Maris pouncy Demaryius

Thomas Dez Bryant and Deon mccordi who also went later in the first round heading gron to a team that had Danny amandola as its leading receiver in Bradford’s rookie season would make the life of every QB that came in after Bradford tremendously easier Not only was grank a big Target that every QB

Could throw the ball to just knowing that he would come down with it but he was Unstoppable after the catch throwing step arms and running through people on a regular basis Not only was he a great receiver but he was also a great run blocker which would make the life of

Running backs like Steven Jackson Trey Mason and Todd gurley’s life way easier I think Ray fans would be a million times happier with grank knowing they got a five Time pro bowler four time all pro with nearly 10,000 career receiving yards and nearly 100 career touchdowns over Bradford who left the team in

Pieces and peaked in his rookie season with the first pick in the 2011 NFL draft the Carolina Panthers still select Cam Newton they’re about seven players worthy of the Hall of Fame taken after cam but I still have the Panthers taking him here cam is the greatest QB in the

Franchises history and was the best QB taken in the draft he’s the Panthers alltime leader in passing yards leading the next closest QB by about 10,000 yards the Panthers all-time leader in passing touchdowns leading the next closest quarterback by about 75 he won a

Rookie of the year and an MVP and L A Panthers offense with a poor offense of line and tedin Jr as his leading receiver to a 15-1 record in a Super Bowl appearance obviously Panthers fans would like to change the outcome of that Super Bowl but they don’t get there

Without Cam and before a shoulder injury in 2018 that derailed the rest of his career he was on a Hall of Fame Pace like a lot of the players in his class and I’m not sure drafting any other player in this class is going to get

Them to the Super Bowl with the first pick in the 20 2012 NFL draft the Indianapolis Colts no longer select Andrew Luck and instead take Russell Wilson don’t get me wrong Andrew Luck was a great player while he played he was a four-time pro bowler and the 2018

Comeback player of the year but he retired in the middle of his Prime at just 29 years old due to a slew of injuries he faced behind that horrible Colts offensive line Wilson has obviously taken a little bit of a hit to his reputation the last few seasons due

To the way he’s played with the Broncos but he was also considered a top five QB in the league for a number of seasons is a nine times pro bowler a Super Bowl champ the 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year and a slightly better improviser

Than Andrew Luck the Colts not only get another top QB in the class but they also get another a couple years of highle QB play with the first pick in the 2013 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs no longer select Eric Fischer and instead select Travis Kelsey obviously

The Chiefs already took Kelsey in the third round but the point of the video is to have the best or most deserving player go number one overall fish had a respectable playing career playing nine Seasons with two pro bowls but Kelsey is in the discussion for the greatest tight

End of all time he has four all Pros eight Pro bowls multiple Playoff records and over 11,000 career receiving yards plus Fischer wasn’t even the best tackle taken in the draft with David baari teron Armstead and Lane Johnson all being selected after him with the first

Pick in the 2014 NFL draft the Houston Texans no longer take JD ofan Clowny and instead take Aaron Donald in his 10 seasons in the league Donald has managed to make the Pro Bowl every season he’s had eight All Pro selections and he’s a three-time defensive player of the year

Clowney has been able to make the Pro Bowl three times but he is nowhere near the defensive monster that Aaron Donald is JJ W was obviously on the decline at the point that Donald came into the league but they make a dynamic duo for a

Couple of years it would make for one of the most legendary passes of the torch ever with the first pick of the 2015 NFL draft the Tampa Bay Buccaneers no longer Select jamus Winston and instead select Omari Cooper jamus Winston showed flashes a promise but he’s going to be

More remembered for his silly antics like eating the W dancing in the locker room after tearing his ACL and handing it off to Jamal Williams so he can get a touchdown instead of kneeling it out of a victory formation and his Infamous 30 touchdown 30 interception season Amari

Cooper on the other hand has consistently been one of the top receivers in the league since being drafted making five Pro bowls in 10 seasons and has had over a thousand receiving yards every year but two while also being one of the best route runners in the entire league pairing him up with

Mike Evans would give the Bucks one of the best receiving Duos in the entire league for at least half a decade with a first pick in the 2016 NFL draft the Los Angeles Rams still select Jared gof if the Rams didn’t trade their 2016 and

2017 first round picks go up and get him I might be more inclined to change my answer but due to the fact that they don’t have a first rounder The Following season they didn’t have another capable QB on the roster at the time there wasn’t a significantly better QB in the

Class and he was involved in the trade that brought in the QB that led them to their first Super Bowl I don’t have them taking another player here plus it’s not like golf was a scrub while he was playing in La he had two seasons with over 4,500 passing yards and two Pro

Bowl appearances while playing in La while also leading them to a Super Bowl appearance with the first pick in the 2017 NFL draft clev Browns no longer take miles Garrett and instead select Patrick Mahomes miles Garrett has been one of the best defensive players in the league since being drafted but like I

Said earlier the Browns have been searching for an answer at QB literally since their franchise was reintroduced to the league and what’s better than a guy who might be the goat when it’s all said and done Mahomes already has two MVPs and two rings while only being 28

Years old and would help the Browns finally end their years of misery with the first pick in the 2018 NFL draft the Cleveland Browns no longer select Baker Mayfield and instead to select Lamar Jackson Lamar has already won MVP and is likely to win another this season while

Baker is on his fourth team in the last three seasons Lamar is the greatest rushing QB the league has ever seen it would be entering a very run-heavy offense with Nick chub in the back can you imagine how Unstoppable that offense would be with the first pick in the 2019

NFL draft the Arizona Cardinals no longer select Kyler Murray and instead take Nick Bosa in his pre-draft interviews with the Cardinals Bosa said that he would haunt the Cardinals if they pass on him and it’s safe to say he has he has made the Pro Bowl every

Season that he’s been healthy he won Defensive Rookie of the Year in his first first season and has a defensive player of the year award under his belt already and has a Super Bowl appearance while the Cardinals have One Singular playoff appearance in Kyler’s time in Arizona Bosa doesn’t really address a

Need at quarterback but if the Cardinals could go back in time I think they would take Bosa 100 times out of a 100 especially knowing that they would be hurting their division rivals in the process with the first pick in the 2020 NFL draft the Cincinnati Bengals still

Select Joe burrow in the two seasons that burrow has been 100% healthy the Bengals have ended their seasons in the Super Bowl and AFC Championship respectively and the fact that he is clear the best QB in this draft class and what was a loaded QB class makes his

Pick even easier the man pretty much single-handedly turned the team around and it’d be stupid to move on with the first pick in the 2021 NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars no longer select Trevor Lawrence and now instead select Mah Parsons Trevor Lawrence’s career so far has been a series of ups and downs

And a lack in consistency he’s shown the ability to be the Jags franchise guy but he has yet to put it together in a full season outside of 2022 meanwhile Mah Parson has looked like a generational defensive Talent he’s finished in the top two for Defensive Player of the Year

Twice is a two-time All Pro and has made the Pro Bowl every season of his young NFL career while taking Parson might mean that the Jags are passing on their franchise QB it brings a generational talent to the team which is something they currently lack not to mention the

Fact that it pairs Parsons next to Josh Allen to form a dynamic duo off the edge and a nightmare for opposing QBs with the first pick in the 2022 NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars no longer select Trayvon Walker and instead select s Garder at this point in time s has

Without a doubt been the best player in the draft class he took home defensive player of the year he’s already had two First Team all pros and has arguably been the best corner in the NFL since he stepped on to the field meanwhile Walker is yet to fully hit his stride and yes

There was a big Improvement between his rookie season and this season but you’d be silly to even consider taking him over sauce with the first pick in the 2023 NFL draft the Carolina Panthers no longer take Bryce young and instead select CJ strout Bryce young is not

Exactly been set up for success in Carolina but it’s no secret that watching him and shroud play quarterback this season has been like like night and day while Bryce young finished his rookie season with under 3,000 passing yards and nearly even in picks and touchdowns and let a Panthers team

Without a first round pick to a 2 and 15 record Cedar strad looks like one of the top QBs in the entire league not only did he pass for over 4,000 yards with 23 passing touchdowns and five interceptions but he also turned the Texans around from having the second

Pick in the year prior to winning their division and even picked up a playoff win in the process it is really early to say Bryce young is a bus but after year one give me CJ Stout all right I fixed every number one overall pick since 2000

  1. Interesting video. Your 2011 Cam Newton as #1 is totally indefensible. 3x DPoY JJ Watt, to me, would be the pick. Jason Kelce, the best Center in NFL history, would be second choice. I'd take Vonn Miller over Cam Newton. I get that Cam's shoulder injury derailed his career but the guy wasn't better than Watt, Kelce or Miller. He's also a bizarre guy whereas Watt was the most philanthropic athlete the city of Houston ever had. Watt was amazing for the city. Kelce also has been great for Philadelphia.

  2. Fitzgerald over Manning, Rivers and Roethlisberger?

    Here's an exercise for you. Make a list of the top 10 wide receivers playing in the last 20 or so years.
    Rice, Moss, Fitzgerald, Calvin, Owens, Carter, Largent, maybe some newer guys like Justin Jefferson, Adams, Chase. Pretty impressive list.
    Only Rice has a ring and two of the greatest QBs of all time were throwing him the ball.
    Tory Holt and Mike Evans are the only WRs taken in the top 10 of the draft to win rings playing for the team that drafted them, and neither of them were a key component for those championships.
    The media hypes up wideouts for fantasy football, betting and shit like that, but the team with the healthiest roster and a winning record by Thanksgiving will usually win the Superbowl.
    Winning the Superbowl is all that matters. Just ask Dan Marino.

  3. 2001: My San Diego Chargers got it right and snagged LaDainian Tomlinson.
    Didn't win shit, but instead a great 'What if'.
    Brees, Tomlinson, Gates and that D? Then adding Larry Fitz, too?
    I nearly orgasmed.
    Fuck Dean Spanos!!

  4. You lost me when you would choose Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen in the 2018 draft even choosing Parsons over Lawrence come on man you’re more intelligent than that aren’t you

  5. Great video! I do have to push back on Russ being the pick for the Colts in 2012, keeping Peyton Manning around and trying to use that pick for either a weapon for him or try to get a massive haul to beef up the O-line as Manning still had quite a few years of elite football in him. Thanks for making this video though it was a fun watch!

  6. I like the video, but it also makes the assumption that these players would have also had as much success with all the surrounding components including coaching.
