Too bad the NFL didn't punish NE for Spygate in a more efficient manner: Forfeit their HIGHEST #1 pick (since they had 2 at the time). We'd be picking 10th, but in reality 9th--would have really opened up the options.
REVISED 1st round draft order...
1 Miami Dolphins
2 St. Louis Rams
3 Atlanta Falcons
4 Oakland Raiders
5 Kansas City Chiefs
6 New York Jets
7 New England Patriots (from 49ers) FORFEITED
8 Baltimore Ravens
9 Cincinnati Bengals
10 New Orleans Saints
11 Buffalo Bills
12 Denver Broncos
13 Carolina Panthers
14 Chicago Bears
15 Detroit Lions
16 Arizona Cardinals
17 Minnesota Vikings
18 Houston Texans
19 Philadelphia Eagles
20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21 Washington Redskins
22 Dallas Cowboys (from Browns)
23 Pittsburgh Steelers
24 Tennessee Titans
25 Seattle Seahawks
26 Jacksonville Jaguars
27 San Diego Chargers
28 Dallas Cowboys
29 San Francisco 49ers (from Ind.)
30 Green Bay Packers
31 New England Patriots
32 New York Giants
Wonder how that would change the draft?
