2011
DRAFT REVISTED
(Ed
note: Of course there are no do-overs when it comes to the draft, but
just for fun here's what the 2011 draft might have looked like if teams
knew now what they didn't know back in April. The whole exercise is
compromised by trades that occurred the draft so for simplicity's sake
the revisted draft is based on the selection order heading into the
draft)
