Here we are the
second round, let’s see how this went down.
1)
Green Bay Packers from Cleveland – Kevin King,
CB, Washingotn – Grade: A
I like
it. Long corner with well above average athleticism.
Trade:
Jacksonville:
34 – Grade: B
Seattle:
35 & 187 – Grade: B+
Pretty
even, no qualms on either side.
2)
Jacksonville Jaguars from Seattle from San
Francisco – Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama – Grade B-
Would
have preferred Lamp here, but a solid pick none-the-less.
3)
Seattle Seahawks from Jacksonville – Malik
McDowell, Int, Michigan State – Grade: A
Malik
may end up being the best value in this draft. Good place to pick a player with
what appears to be a wide array of uncertainties for his career.
Trade:
Arizona:
36 – Grade: F
Chicago:
45, 119, 197, and ’18 4th – Grade: A+
Great
job getting great value here for Chicago after yesterday’s debacle. Arizona
must have loved Budda to give up almost twice the value for the pick.
4)
Arizona Cardinals from Chicago – Budda Baker, S,
Washington – Grade A-
Price
to get him doesn’t matter here. Love Budda as a player he makes that defense
even more multiple and interchangeable.
Trade:
Buffalo:
37 & 149 – Grade: B
Los
Angeles (N): 44 & 91 – Grade: B
Another
pretty even one. The Rams got almost the same value as Seattle up top.
5)
Buffalo Bills from Los Angeles (N) – Zay Jones,
WR, East Carolina – Grade: B-
Big
fan of Zay, like the value, but there were still players here that I would have
preferred.
6)
San Diego Chargers - Forrest Lamp, G, Western
Kentucky – Grade: A+
Love
what the Chargers did for both Gordon and Rivers today.
7)
New York Jets – Marcus Maye, S, Florida – Grade:
C+
Better
DBs there for the Jets, and they now have three highly drafted young safeties
for two spots.
8)
Carolina Panthers – Curtis Samuel, WR, Ohio
State – Grade: A
Dave
continues to help Cam.
Trade:
Minnesota:
41 – Grade: B-
Cincinnati:
48 & 128 – Grade: B+
This
one leans Cincy’s way just a bit more than you’d like.
9)
Minnesota Vikings from Cincinnati– Dalvin Cook,
RB, Florida State – Grade: A
Good
value here. Should be a nice compliment to Murray.
10) New
Orleans Saints – Marcus Williams, S, Utah – Grade: B+
Was
one of my top five safeties and the Saints need a shit ton of help on D.
11) Philadelphia
Eagles - Sidney Jones, CB, Washington – Grade: B-
Not
going to be factor this season, but if he returns fully healthy this could be
an A+ when we look back at this draft.
12) Los
Angeles Rams from Buffalo – Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama – Grade: C+
He
was my 80% of Engram player, but that’s a value in the 3rd or 4th
not the upper half of the second round.
13) Chicago
Bears from Arizona – Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland – Grade: C
Was
never as high on Shaheen as everyone else, but he can block and is freaky
athletic for 280 pounds.
14) Indianapolis
Colts – Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida – Grade: A
The
Colts continue to bolster their weaknesses.
15) Baltimore
Ravens – Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston – Grade: D+
I like Bowser, but there were a bunch of edges left on the
board that I liked better.
16) Cincinnati
Bengals from Minnesota – Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma – Grade: C
I
hope Mixon has changed. See what I wrote about Conley in round one for the
grade explanation.
17) Washington
Redskins – Ryan Anderson, OLB, Alabama – Grade: C-
Anderson
has short arms, health concerns, and didn’t dominate the way you’d like against
lower competition.
18) Tampa
Bay Buccaneers – Justin Evans, S, Texas A&M – Grade: C+
Evans
wasn’t a bad pick. (Paused, came back. That seemed about right.)
19) Denver
Broncos – DeMarcus Walker, Edge, Florida State – Grade: D+
Bad
athlete, great production and behind a bunch of edge players still left on the
board.
20) Cleveland
Browns from Tennessee – DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame – Grade: A
Love
this pick and would have been alright with this when they drafted back up into
the first round.
21) Detroit
Lions – Teez Tabor, CB, Florida – Grade: C+
Teez
tested out poorly, but played like a beast. So A tape, D athletic testing C+
grade.
22) Miami
Dolphins – Raekwon Macmillan, OBLB, Ohio State – Grade: A
At
worst the Dolphins got an extremely solid middle linebacker, at best they got a
very good middle linebacker. In the third. Nice job.
23) New
York Giants – Dalvin Tomlinson, Int, Alabama – Grade: B
Tomlinson
is a good solid player and my #13 interior lineman. Good pick, some better
talent on the board in my opinion, but hardly a waste.
24) Oakland
Radiers – Obi Melifonwu, SS, UCONN – Grade: A
Talked
about Obi playing different than you’d expect someone with his physicals to
play the safety position. Louis Riddick mentioned just such a thing on the ESPN
broadcast. But the kid can play the pass very well and plays physically enough.
25) Houston
Texans – Zach Cunningham, OBLB, Vanderbilt – Grade: A+
Everything
I said about McMillan above plus 10%.
26) Seattle
Seahawks – Ethan Pocic, C, LSU – Grade: B-
The
only reason this isn’t a C+ is because… “holy shit, holy shit, the Seahawks
picked a lineman”
27) Kansas
City – Tanoh Kpassagnon, DL, Villanova – Grade: A
Great
name, great kid, great Senior Bowl, very nice pick.
28) Dallas
Cowboys – Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado – Grade: A+
Great
value for the Cowboys who add athleticism to their defense again.
29) Green
Bay Packers – Josh Jones, S, NC State – Grade: C+
Not
bad value on my board, but he was inconsistent at NC State and there are
corners that I like better than Jones.
30) Pittsburgh
Steelers – JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC – Grade: C+
A
handful of guys I like that can do similar thins to JuJu left on the board.
Trade:
Buffalo: 63 – Grade:
C
Atlanta: 75, 149, 156
– Grade: A
31) Buffalo
Bills from Atlanta – Dion Dawkins, OL, Temple – Grade: D+
Moton
is still there. Levin is still there. McDermott is still there.
32) Carolina
Panthers from New England – Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan – Grade: A+
Panthers
help Cam again and get the best lineman left on my board.
As we look at the
third round this is where I start to grade less purely on my board and more on
fit. A little more off the cuff on the grades.
Round 3
33) Cleveland
Browns – Larry Ogunjobi, Int, Charlotte – Grade: A
Good
small school player, give the Browns another athletic body in the front 7.
34) San
Francisco 49ers – Akhello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado – Grade: A
Trade:
New Orleans: 66 –
Grade: B-
San Francisco: 229
& ’18 2nd – Grade: B+
35) New
Orleans Saints from San Francisco from Chicago – Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee –
Grade: C+
36) Jacksonville
Jaguars – Dawuane Smoot, Edge, Illinois – Grade: C-
37) Los
Angeles Rams – Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington – Grade: D+
Good
player. Many receivers I like better.
Trade:
Minnesota: 70 –
Grade: B
New York (A): 79
& 160 – Grade: B-
38) Minnesota
from New York (A) – Pat Elflein, C, Ohio State
– Grade: B
39) Los
Angeles Chargers – Dan Feeney, G, Indiana – Grade: B
Trade:
Tennessee: 72 –
Grade: A
New England: 83 &
124 – Grade: C
40) Tennessee
Titan from New England from Carolina – Taywan Taylor, WR, WKU – Grade: A+
41) Cincinnati
Bengals – Jordan Willis, Edge, Kansas State – Grade: A+
42) Baltimore
Ravens from Philadelphia – Chris Wormley, Int, Michigan – Grade: A+
43) Atlanta
Falcons from Buffalo – Duke Riley, OBLB, LSU – Grade: A
44) New
Orleans Saints – Alex Anzalone, OBLB, Florida – Grade: C+
Trades:
Carolina: 77
Arizona: 98 & 115
45) Carolina
Panthers from Arizona – Daeshon Hall, Edge, Texas A&M – Grade: B
46) Baltimore
Ravens – Tim Williams, Edge, Alabama – Grade: B+

York Jets from Minnesota – ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama – Grade: B+
48) Indianapolis
Colts – Tarrel Basham, Edge, Ohio – Grade: A-
49) Washington
Redskins – Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA – Grade: A+
50) Denver
Broncos – Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech – Grade: A+
51) New
England Patriots from Tennessee – Derek Rivers, Edge, Youngstown State – Grade:
A+
Hate
you Bill. Love you Bill.
52) Tampa
Bay Buccaneers – Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State – Grade: B+
Trade:
New England Patriots:
85
Detroit: 96 & 144
53) New
England Patriots from Detroit – Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy – Grade: C+
Trade:
Kansas City: 86
Minnesota: 104, 132,
and 245
54) Kansas
City from Minnesota from Miami – Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo – Grade: A+
Love
this kid.
55) New
York Giants – Davis Webb, QB, California – Grade: D
Nassib
2.0?
56) Oakland
Raiders – Eddie Vanderdoss, Int, UCLA – Grade: A
Loves
this kid. When healthy a very good player.
57) Houston
Texans – D’Onta Foreman, RB, Texas – Grade: B
Third
RB left on my board, but if I’m taking a flyer on a freaky athlete I would have
taken McNichols or Aaron Jones.
58) Seattle
Seahawks – Shaquill Griffin, CB, UCF – Grade: A+
Great
kid, great story, very good football player.
59) Los
Angeles Rams from Kansas City from Buffalo – John Johnson, S, Boston College –
Grade: A
60) Dallas
Cowboys – Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan – Grade: C
Same
situation with Conley.
61) Green
Bay Packers – Montravius Adams, Int, Auburn – Grade: B-
Like
the value, but for a guy who’s going to play nose for the Pack his explosion
numbers weren’t great.
62) Pittsburgh
Steelers – Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee – Grade: B+
63) Seattle
Seahawks from Atlanta – Delano Hill, S, Michigan – Grade: B-
I’ll
trust the brain trust in Seattle
64) Detroit
Lions from New England – Kenny Galloday, WR, Northern Illinois – Grade: D+
A
player who I thought about moving up my board, but even if I’d bumped him up there
are big bodied receivers I’d have taken instead.
65) Miami
Dolphins – Cordrea Tankersly, CB, Clemson – Grade: C+
Solid
corner. Bunch of guys at the position higher.
66) Arizona
Cardinals from Carolina – Chad Williams, WR, Grambling – Grade: B-
What
can you say other than, Arians and Keim have a type.
67) Philadelphia
Eagles from Baltimore – Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia – Grade: A
Real
productive kid. Had a couple guys above him at the same position, but he was
rated 54 on my board.
68) Tennessee
Titans from Los Angeles (N) – Jonnu Smith, TE, FIU – Grade: A-
Athletic
TE, needs to continue to grow, but he’ll learn in TEN and is another weapon for
Mariota.
69) Denver
Broncos – Brendan Langley, CB, Lamar (TX) – Grade: B+
About
where I had him. I got guys ahead of him, but nothing wrong with the pick.
70) Seattle
Seahawks – Nazair Jones, Int, North Carolina – Grade: C+
Good
story, fine athlete, nothing to hate, but I had better players available.
71) New
Orleans Saints from Cleveland from New England – Trey Hendrickson, Edge, FAU – Grade:
A
Athletic
as all get out. Needs to be more consistent with his technique and production.
Trades:
San Francisco: 104
Minnesota: 109 &
219
72) San
Francisco from Minnesota from Kansas City – C.J. Beathard, QB, Iowa – Grade: F
I
don’t see it. The only thing he has is prototype size.
73) Pittsburgh
Steelers – James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh – Grade: A+
Hey
what can I say. Hometown kid, beats cancer, gets picked in the third round.
74) Seattle
Seahawks – Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan – Grade: B+
Good
player, great story. No problem with the pick.
Trades:
Tampa Bay: 107
New York (A): 125 & 204
75) Tampa
Bay Buccaneers from New York (A) – Kendall Beckwith, OBLB, LSU – Grade: A+
If
not for the injury he goes before Riley earlier in the day at worst. Great risk
reward here.
Alright
did a better job in the second half of the third round of taking notes. It’s
almost 2 in the morning and I don’t have much to addon a lot of these picks or
trades. Sorry to disappoint
