Round 2 Review


Round 2

33 Rams: Brian Quick, WR, Grade: B
34 Colts: Coby Fleener, TE,  Grade: A-
35 Ravens: Courtney Upshaw, DE/LB,The rich get richer I thought Upshaw was a first round talent, not the quickest guy but he’s got a great motor and should contribute right away for the Ravens. Grade: A+
36 Broncos: Derek Wolfe, DT, interesting pick here, good player with great production, should be able to play multiple positions along the line and be able to show improvement next to some good young players a mile high. Grade: B
37 Browns: Mithcell Schwartz, OT, at least three better tackles left on the board especially for RTs in Glenn, Martin and Massie. I like the thought, but I’m just not sure I understand the player. Grade: C-
38 Jaguars: Andre Branch, DE, good pick here for the Jaguars a team that seems to be looking for pass rush every year. Branch should provide some of that if he can perform consistently. Grade: B-
39 Rams: Janoris Jenkins, CB, like this pick here. He has had some off the field issues and had to transfer out of Florida but he would have been a top 10 pick in this draft. Grade A-
40 Panthers: Amini Silatolu, OG, very good player will be making the adjustment down to guard at the next level but from all accounts a very physically stout player. Grade: B+
41 Bills: Cordy Glenn, OT, like this pick a lot this is great value at this point, Glenn has first round talent is SEC tested. Should be able to slot in at least at RT and could be solid at LT. Grade A+
42 Dolphins: Jonathan Martin, OT, the line in Miami just got real better and should be a very good tackle in the NFL for a decade. Grade: B
TRADE: NYJ to 43, SEA to 47, 4th & 5th, great hall for the Seahawks for this pick as they get more than some got late in the 1st for their pick. Grades: NYJ C+, SEA A+
43 Jets: Stephen Hill, I like the pick more than the trade thought he could go late first, Jets hope he can develop like Thomas did in Denver. I like the pick but it isn’t without risk. Grade: B
44 Chiefs: Jeff Allen OT, good pass protector who might have to move inside in the pros good pick for the Chiefs who were looking for more of a guard choice instead of Massie. Grade: B-
TRADE: CHI to 45, STL to 50 & 150
45 Bears: Alshon Jeffrey, WR, a weight problem an inconsistent production in senior year but has ability to be an absolute beast for the Bears if he’s motivated. Grade: C+
46 Eagles: Mychal Kendricks, LB, instant upgrade in the middle of the field for the eagles defense and can really move on the field. Should be very versatile in Philly. Grade: A-
47 Seahawks: Bobby Wagner, LB, this is a much better pick for the Seahawks good solid player form Utah State, good motor needs some training but anything would have been an upgrade over the round 1 pick. Grade: C
48 Patriots: Tayvon Wilson, S, REACH didn’t see this coming there are a lot of good defensive backs on the board and the Pats went with a kid that I can’t say I ever noticed in all the Big Ten football I’ve watched. Grade: F
49 Chargers: Kendall Reyes, DT, a beast in the Big East last season and should provide a solid impact up front for the Chargers and can play all three DL positions. Grade: A-
50 Rams: Isaiah Pead, is an interesting prospect and should provide a nice player to spell Stephen Jackson some this season and maybe increase his longevity. Had a great Senior Bowl. Grade: B-
TRADE: GB to 51, PHI to 59 & 129, good move for both teams although once again in this round the rate of return has been pretty high to move up even a couple of spots. Grades: GB B, PHI A-
51 Packers: Jerel Worthy, DT, love this pick for the Packers. Provides needed depth along the defensive line alongside B.J. Raji and Pickett. Should provide immediate impact, maybe even more than Perry in round 1. Grade: A
52 Titans: Zach Brown, OLB, lots of talent here for the Titans but can he put it all together on the football field.  Grade: B-
53 Bengals: Devon Still, DT, another very good Big Ten defensive tackle comes off the board. Had a very good year at Penn State and should jump right into the defensive rotations in Cincy. Injury concerns but overall a solid pick. Grade: B-
54 Lions: Ryan Broyles, WR, was a huge contributor on the Oklahoma Sooners, who fell apart on offense after he went out. Very good player should have a shot to contribute in Detroit. Grade: B
55 Falcons: Peter Konz, OC, good player from Wisconsin had a late first early second grade on most boards should be a good player for Atlanta. Grade: A-
56 Steelers: Mike Adams, OT, fills a very good need for Pittsburgh and picks up a late first round talent. The Steelers have upgraded two spots on the line with their first two picks and it should pay off sooner rather than later. Grade: A
57 Broncos: Brock Osweiler, QB, much will be made of his height and “lack” of athletic ability but the kid has some upside and has the opportunity to sit for a couple of years before being thrown to the lions. Grade: C
58 Buccaneers: Lavonte David, LB, this is shaping up to be a very good draft for the Buccaneers. David is around the ball all the time, can drop in coverage and can play sideline to sideline. Grade: A+
59 Eagles: Vinny Curry, OLB, another good addition for the Eagles defense and should be able to provide some more versatility to the Eagles and play both with his hand in the ground and upright. Grade: A+
60 Ravens: Kelechi Osemele, OT, may have to move inside for the Ravens but a player who should help an interior line that is getting a bit weathered. Will be a transition period for him. Grade: B-
61 49ers: LaMichael James, RB, very good runner can do work in between the tackles which may surprise people at the next level. I think he could be a poor mans feature back and rich man’s Reggie Bush when he gets in the league. Grade: B+
62 Packers: Casey Hayward, CB, loved this round for the Packers and Heyward should add much needed value at the CB position with Woodsen getting older and maybe looking at a shift to safety the Packers needed to address their defensive backfield. Grade: B
63 Giants:  Rueben Randle, WR, like the pick provides some upside for a receiving corps who lost smith last year. Randle was a bit inconsistent but I’m not sure if that was a QB issue or a Randle issue overall I really like the pick. Grade: B-
