The following seven teams had at least two players poached from their rosters. They get one extra pick for every extra player they lost.
The catch is they can only choose from teams that did not have a player taken. For example, with the 33rd pick the Bengals had their choice of any player (drafted between 2020 and 2024) from the Ravens, Saints, Falcons, Broncos, Titans, Chiefs, Browns and Bills.
The other catch is only one player can be taken from those eight teams. So once the Bengals selected Kyle Hamilton 33rd, no other Raven could be selected.
The Lions had three players taken in the first 32 picks, so they get two comp picks.
33. Cincinnati Bengals: Kyle Hamilton, S
Players lost: Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase
Player added: Brock Bowers
The Bengals add the top safety in this exercise. At only 23 years old, Kyle Hamilton is a player Cincinnati could build around for the next decade.
As talented as Bowers and Hamilton are, I'm sure Bengals fans will enjoy the reality of having Burrow and Chase for the next decade.
34. Dallas Cowboys: Chris Olave, WR
Players lost: Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb
Player added: Justin Jefferson
An Olave-Jefferson pairing could make the Cowboys the most explosive offense in football. And though the defense might struggle without a replacement for Parsons, there wasn't a pass-rusher available who could have the type of impact Olave could for Dallas.
35. Detroit Lions: Drake London, WR
Players lost: Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson, Amon-Ra St. Brown
Player added: Will Anderson Jr.
This exercise shows how loaded the Lions are with young talent. They were the only team with three players poached, and Sam LaPorta easily could have been selected as well.
Detroit already found its Hutchinson replacement in Anderson, and now it gets a St. Brown fill-in. Drake London hasn't had a prolific season yet (1,771 receiving yards in two seasons), but with quality QB play, he should have a breakout year in 2024.
36. Houston Texans: Patrick Surtain II, CB
Players lost: C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr.
Player added: Kayvon Thibodeaux
As noted on the Thibodeaux slide, the Texans would surely attempt to trade for a veteran QB so as to not waste a year of this loaded roster.
Assuming they would be successful in their veteran QB quest, the Texans would then shore up their CB room by taking Patrick Surtain II, who would form an amazing tandem with Derek Stingley Jr.
37. Philadelphia Eagles: JC Latham, OT
Players lost: Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith
Player added: Patrick Queen
If there's one thing Howie Roseman and Jeff Stoutland love, it's drafting long-term succession plans along the offensive line. They're set long-term at left tackle with Jordan Mailata, but 34-year-old right tackle Lane Johnson is entering the twilight of his career.
B/R scout Brandon Thorn said Latham has a "striking blend of size, play strength, power and competitive toughness to overwhelm defenders in the run and pass game." Put him in Stoutland University behind Johnson for the next year or two, and the Eagles would have their tackle spots squared away for the next half-decade or more.
38. Chicago Bears: Creed Humphrey, C
Player lost: WR Rome Odunze
The Bears selected Caleb Williams with the ninth pick of this re-draft, and the question here is whether to build around him with a wide receiver or an offensive lineman.
This was a difficult choice between Xavier Worthy and Creed Humphrey, but Humphrey would instantly replace Ryan Bates at center, whereas Worthy would likely not make a big immediate impact while competing for targets with Keenan Allen and DJ Moore.
39. Detroit Lions: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB
Players lost: Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson, Amon-Ra St. Brown
Players added: Will Anderson Jr., Drake London
In this alternate reality, the Lions would likely trade for a veteran offensive tackle to replace Sewell—perhaps Morgan Moses, who would be available because the Jets took Sewell—and fix their only major weakness. That would clear the way for them to upgrade at linebacker.
The PFF grades of Alex Anzalone (68.1), Derrick Barnes (62.1) and Jack Campbell (57.3) show they were serviceable last year, and Campbell could break out in his second season. But Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (75.3) would be their best linebacker and immediately turn this unit into a major strength.
40. New York Jets: Keon Coleman, WR
Players lost: Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson
Player added: Penei Sewell
Coleman is already a media (and fan) darling in Buffalo. Just imagine this man in the New York City market. On the field, the 2024 No. 33 pick out of Florida State has the skills to address Wilson's loss and become a go-to target for Aaron Rodgers as a younger version of Allen Robinson.
As B/R's Derrik Klassen noted: "Coleman is a throwback X receiver. ... For teams looking for a top target outside the numbers, he fits the bill. Coleman's physicality and ball skills give him a high floor, and he has just enough pop down the field and with the ball in his hands to be a real difference-maker." Much like Josh Allen-to-Coleman figures to be in real life, Rodgers-to-Coleman would be lethal—especially with Sewell anchoring the O-line.
