33. Houston Texans – Ra’Shede Hageman, DE, Minnesota
Antonio Smith has been solid for the Texans for a lot of years. They should and could look early to replace Smith opposite J.J. Watt. Hageman slides right into their laps.
34. Washington Redskins – Cyrus Kouandijo, OT, Alabama
Kouandijo has experienced the late swoon of draft prospects that struggle at the Combine and with medical questions. I think this is a fair landing spot for him given his failure to produce to his talent level.
35. Cleveland Browns – Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State
What the Browns pass on Carr and Garoppolo for another defender. With Hoyer in place, I don’t think they feel forced to take one high and will wait until the 3rd to take a guy. Shazier could team with Karlos Dansby to give the Browns a very formidable, athletic duo of inside backers.
36. Oakland Raiders – Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
Let me say, I don’t think this one happens at this spot. Oakland might be a prime candidate to trade back into the first to grab up Carr, if he’s still available.
37. Atlanta Falcons – Dee Ford, OLB, Auburn
Dee Ford can bring it off the edge and the Falcons could use a guy that can wreak havoc on QB’s. A start of Matthews and Ford is really solid for the Falcons.
38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech
The Bucs could go guard or wide receiver here and I wouldn’t be shocked. That said, I don’t know how they pass on a guy like Amaro at this point.
39. Jacksonville Jaguars – Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois
If the Jags can pull off Clowney/Garappolo they will be my premature winners of the draft.
40. Minnesota Vikings – Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU
Van Noy fills a big need for the Vikings and gives them a guy that has a knack for making big plays on the defensive side of the ball.
41. Buffalo Bills – Marqise Lee, WR, USC
Surrounding EJ Manuel with weapons isn’t a bad idea and pairing Stevie Johnson, Robert Woods, and TJ Graham with Lee gives him a nice group to grow with. This is all value pick.
42. Tennessee Titans – Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio St.
Once Chris Johnson is cast off the Titans are stuck with Shonn Greene, who underwhelms me from a personal standpoint. Hyde gives them a guy that can carry the load over the long-term.
43. New York Giants – David Yankey, G, Stanford
The Giants are in need on the OL and many think Yankey is a first round talent. I don’t value him that highly but he appears to be a good fit.
44. St. Louis Rams – Lamarcus Joyner, S, Florida St.
I’m the president of the Joyner fanclub. He could play a host of spots on the Rams defense and I love the fit.
45. Detroit Lions – Davante Adams, WR, Fresno St.
Golden Tate was a great addition for the Lions but they would be best served with him in the slot and another vertical threat on the outside.
46. Pittsburgh Steelers – Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame
The Steelers passed on Eric Ebron in round one so they get a great value in round two in Troy Niklas. Niklas is a monster target with underrated athleticism.
47. Dallas Cowboys – Terrence Brooks, S, Florida St.
Many will view this as a reach but watch a little bit of Brooks and you’ll know why he is going to hear his name called before many in the media project.
48. Baltimore Ravens – Allen Robinson, WR, Penn St.
The Ravens added Steve Smith this offseason but still could use a young receiver to pair with Torrey Smith over the long haul.
49. New York Jets – Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood
The Jets missed out on the cornerback market in free agency, so John Idzik gets one that matches his want to spend.
50. Miami Dolphins – Tre Mason, RB, Auburn
Lamar Miller was a bit of a disappointment in 2013, so I can’t see the Dolphins passing on a guy with the upside of Mason to wait on Miller to develop.
51. Chicago Bears – Deone Bucannon, S, Washington St.
Bucannon is an absolute steal at this point in the draft in my not so humble opinion. He’s a prototypical SS that can play in the box and is more than formidable covering with range.
52. Arizona Cardinals – Demarcus Lawrence, OLB, Boise St.
The Cardinals defense was pretty good in 2013, so why two defenders in the first two rounds? The answer is fairly simple – look at the division. Lawrence is a first round talent with some maturity questions but is too good a value at this point to pass on.
53. Green Bay Packers – Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame
Many have Tuitt as a first rounder. I don’t see it and I think he could be headed for a mid-second round selection. This could be his floor as the Packers need big bodies on the DL.
54. Philadelphia Eagles – Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska
The Eagles want big, physical defenders and they don’t fit that bill more at the CB position than SJB.
55. Cincinnati Bengals – Jack Mewhort, OT, Ohio St.
The Bengals lost Anthony Collins in free agency which could have a bigger impact than many think.
56. San Francisco 49ers – Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
The Niners were able to re-sign Anquan Boldin but are likely still in the market for a long-term solution at the position opposite Michael Crabtree.
57. San Diego Chargers – Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech
The Chargers need an impactful edge rusher and Attaochu gives them that. He was at his best with his hand in the dirt at GT but it should be a fairly easy transition.
58. New Orleans Saints – Weston Richburg, C, Colorado St.
The Saints need to start finding some solid protectors for Drew Brees and Richburg is a plug and play center. I think he’s a future Pro Bowler at the center position, so getting him at the bottom of round two is a steal.
59. Indianapolis Colts – Joel Bitonio, OG, Nevada
Bitonio is quickly rising up the media draft boards and would be a great value if the Colts could land him this late in the 2nd.
60. San Francisco 49ers – Marcus Martin, G/C, USC
Marcus Martin could play any of the interior spots on the 49ers OL. With contracts expiring they have some current and future holes to fill.
61. Carolina Panthers – Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU
The Panthers get a major steal here if Landry makes his way down this far in the draft. I’m not comparison-guy but everyone is getting an Anquan Boldin vibe from him.
62. New England Patriots – Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
The Pats find themselves a great fit and they should be able to keep ASJ in line and get the most out of enormous talent.
63. Denver Broncos – Dakota Dozier, OG, Furman
The Broncos need help in the interior of the OL after losing Zane Beadles to the Jaguars. Dozier is a former tackle that projects well to guard in the NFL.
64. Seattle Seahawks – Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon St.
The Seahawks need to retool some on their DL depth. Crichton could be a great fit in this defense and wind up a steal in the draft with the right fit.
