DAY TWO MOCK DRAFT




SECOND ROUND

33. CINCINNATI BENGALS (2-14)
Josh Jones-OT-Houston  Value +12
6-5/311/33.63/24r
NFL Comp: Laremy Tunsil/Eugene Monroe

The Bengals give Joe Burrow some protection up front. Jones and 2019 first round pick Jonah Williams give the Bengals two young bookends at the tackle spots. Burrow is a happy man.

34. INDIANNAPOLIS COLTS
Trevon Diggs-CB-Alabama  Value +11
6-1/205
NFL Comp: Quinton Dunbar/Prince Amukamara

Diggs is much bigger than his brother Stephon and could be the long physical corner the Colts need. Xavier Rhodes is only on a one year deal and Quincy Wilson has been injured every year he’s been in the league.

35. DETROIT LIONS
Yetur Gross-Matos-EDGE-Penn St   Value -4
6-5/266/34.8/20r  
NFL Comparison: Chandler Jones/Jason Pierre Paul

Matt Patricia and company stay in the Big Ten after taking Jeff Okudah last night. Gross-Matos is a perfect fit as an edge rusher in Patricia’s system as he can play DE, LB and is long enough to slide inside in certain packages.


36. NEW YORK GIANTS
Zach Baun-LB-Wisconsin      Value +5
6-2/238/32.5/4.65/24r
NFL Comp: Kyle Van Noy/Jamie Collins

The Giants pass on Simmons in the first but still end up with a very athletic defender in the second round. Like former Wisconsin edge defender TJ Watt, Baun tested very well at the combine but only had one year of great production in college.

37. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (12-4)
Ezra Cleveland-OT-Boise  
6-6/311/33.4/30r/4.93
NFL Comp: Nate Solder/Eric Winston

Cleveland is a tall athletic tackle in the Nate Solder mold. The Pats will hope he can slide in at LT so they can move Isaiah Wynn to guard.

38. CAROLINA PANTHERS
Xavier McKinney-S-Alabama   Value +19
6-0/201/4.63/19r
NFL Comp: Tre Boston/Michael Huff

Carolina has a major need at safety after letting go of Eric Reid. They are in an ideal spot to land either McKinney, Antonie Winfield or Grant Delpit.

39. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Jonathan Taylor-RB-Wisconsin    Value Near EVEN
5-10/226/4.39
NFL Comp: Ricky Williams/Mark Ingram 

True workhorse back to help out the Dolphins anemic offense. The Dolphins need to give Tua more offensive skill players.

40. HOUSTON TEXANS
Ross Blacklock-DL3T/1T-TCU   Value +6
6-3/290/32.5
NFL Comp: Sheldon Richardson/Tommie Harris

Texans grab the local product from nearby Missouri City, TX. This is good value and fills a need. If they had another stud inside, JJ Watt wouldn't be triple teamed every play.

41. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Justin Madubuike-DL3T/1T-TXAM   Value -4
6-3/293/33.5/31r/4.83
NFL Comparison: Geno Atkins

Smaller but ultra-quick DT that would pair perfectly with former Aggie Myles Garrett along the Browns line. 


42. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Deandre Swift-RB-UGA    Value +13
5-8/212/4.48
NFL Comp: Alvin Kamara/Duke Johnson

The Jaguars get yet another SEC player. Leonard Fournette trade rumors continue to swirl. Jacksonville is in full rebuild mold. Trading Fournette and drafting a young RB may be the smart move.
  

43. CHICAGO BEARS
Antoine Winfield Jr.-S-Minnesota Value +5
5-9/203/4.45/35v
NFL Comparison: Bob Sanders/Donte Whitner

Special teams ace Deon Bush is the current starter opposite Eddie Jackson. The Bears would be an ideal setting for the versatile and physical DB from Minnesota.

44. INDIANNAPOLIS COLTS
Tee Higgins-WR-Clemson-Clemson  Value +22
6-4/216
NFL Comp: Roy Williams/Herman Moore

The Colts need more help outside to ease pressure off of TY Hilton. Higgins a big target that can instantly help Philip Rivers.  



45. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Kristian Fulton-CB-LSU   Value +13
6-0/197/4.46/35.5v
NFL Comparison: Darius Slay/Antrel Rolle

The front seven is good but the secondary could use come upgrades. Fulton is a physical press corner that fits with DC Todd Bowles.

46. DENVER BRONCOS
Grant Delpit-S/DB-LSU   Value +6
6-2/213
NFL Comparison: Morgan Burnett/Harrison Smith

Delpit was a projected top 10 pick earlier in the year. His stock fell but this could be a major steal here. The Broncos may let Justin Simmons walk next year.

47. ATLANTA FALCONS
AJ Epenesa-LDE/5T-Iowa   Value +22
6-5/275/34.5
NFL Comp: Carlos Dunlap/Preston Smith

The Falcons still get a quality pass rusher after passing on some in the first round. Like Delpit, Epenesa was considered a top 10 pick, but lack of freak athletic traits and positional questions cause him to drop.

48. NEW YORK JETS
Denzel Mims-WR-Baylor   Value +7
6-3/207/4.38/38.5
NFL Comparison: Devante Parker/Brandon Lloyd

The Jets add a WR for Sam Darnold after going with a OT in round 1. Mims has good size and big play ability

49. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Laviska Shenault-WR-Colorado   Value +13
6-2/225/4.58/17r
NFL Comparison: Anquan Boldin/David Givens

Shenault is a physical WR that can also be used creatively out of the backfield. He fits the Steelers mold as a player with his toughness and versatility.

50. CHICAGO BEARS
Michael Pittman-WR-USC  Value +7
6-4/223/4.52
NFL Comparison: Brandon Marshall/Kenny Britt

Run on receivers continues here. Pittman is a big physical target that will can replace the often injured Allen Robinson.  

51. DALLAS COWBOYS
Jaylon Johnson-CB-Utah    Value +16
6-0/193/4.5/36.5v
NFL Comp: Desmond Trufant/Eugene Wilson

Dallas lost Byron Jones this year and may lose Chidobe Awuzie next year. Johnson is the best player on the board and gives fills a need.

52. LOS ANGELES RAMS
Josh Uche-OLB/EDGE-Michigan    Value -8
6-1/245/33.5 
NFL Comparison: Shaq Barrett

Uche is small as a pass rusher but is athletic and versatile enough to play LB too. The Rams need help at LB and on the edge.

53. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Julian Okwara-EDGE-Notre Dame   Value -4
6-4/252/34.5/27r
NFL Comp: Brian Orakpo

Derek Barnett will be a free agent next year and may be too expensive to keep, Philly always looks beyond the current season when drafting. Okwara has incredible length and power for someone with his frame.

54. BUFFALO BILLS (10-6)
Chase Claypool-WR-Notre Dame   Value -9
6-4/238/4.42/40.5v/19r
NFL Comp: Vincent Jackson

The Bills are in the market for a big WR to pair with newly added Stephon Diggs.

55. BALTIMORE RAVENS
Marlon Davidson-LDE/DL5T/3T-Auburn    Value +5
6-3/303/33.0/21r
NFL Comp: Tyson Alualu

Davidson is a solid starting DE that with scheme versatility. He is also known as a high character guy.



56. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Kyle Dugger-S-Lenoir Rhyne   Value +6
6-1/217/4.49/42v/17r
NFL Comp: Kerry Rhodes/Clayton Geathers

Athletic freak DB that could be very productive under a coach like Brian Flores.

57. LOS ANGELES RAMS (8-8)
Lloyd Cushenberry III-C/G-LSU  Value EVEN
6-6/312/ 34.625
NFL Comparison: Ryan Kelly

Jared Goff was under way too much pressure last year and the results were bad for the once explosive offense. Cushenberry can come in and compete to start at center or guard from day one.

58. MINNESOTA VIKINGS 
Jordan Elliott-DL1T3T-Missouri   Value EVEN
6-4/302/32.5/24r
NFL Comparison: Kewann Short/Devon Still

The Vikings get more help inside with Elliott. He can provide depth and can be an upgrade over Sheman Stephen.

59. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Cole Kmet-TE-Notre Dame   Value +6
6-6/262/4.7/37v
NFL Comp: Kyle Rudolph/Jason Witten

Greg Olsen maybe will give Seattle one great year if they are lucky. Kmet provides value as both a blocker and pass catcher. Seattle may even consider him in the first round.

60. BALTIMORE RAVENS
JK Dobbins-RB-Ohio St   Value +13
5-10/205/23r
NFL Comp: DeAngelo Williams/Devonta Freeman

Mark Ingram was great last year but he is no spring chicken. The Ravens offense is based on the run game so having a quality backup is huge.



61. TENNESSEE TITANS
Cam Dantzler-CB-Miss. St.    Value +5
6-2/188/4.64
NFL Comp: Dre Kirkpatrick

Both Adoree' Jackson and Malcolm Butler have had trouble staying healthy and they choose to not resign Logan Ryan. The Titans must add a corner sometime this draft.


62. GREEN BAY PACKERS
KJ Hamler-WR-Penn St   Value +4
5-9/178/15r
NFL Comparison: Tyler Lockett/Randall Cobb

Aaron Rodgers may ask for a trade if they don’t draft him more weapons. They will hope Hamler could become another Cobb

63. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (12-4) 
Neville Gallimore-DL1T-Oklahoma     Value +7
6-2/304/32.75/24r/4.79
NFL Comp: Ziggy Hood 

The Chiefs go best player available and have some insurance in case Chris Jones leaves.

64. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Robert Hunt-G/RT- Louisiana  Value -15
6-5/323/33.5
NFL Comp: Rodger Saffold

Seattle must help Russell Wilson up front.



THIRD ROUND

65. CINCINNATI BENGALS
Troy Dye-LB-Oregon  Value -12
6-3/231
NFL Comp: Cory Littleton

Dye is a sideline to sideline LB the makes up for his size with playmaking ability. The Bengals are in the market for an athletic LB. 


66. WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Ashtyn Davis-S-CAL     Value +11
6-1/202
NFL Comp: Jordan Poyer

Fabian Moreau is the only guy in their secondary that was actually drafted by the team, they need to start hitting on DB's in the draft. Davis is an ultra-athletic safety

67. DETROIT LIONS
Netane Muti-G/RT-Fresno Value -8
6-3/315/31.75/44r
NFL Comparison: Manuel Ramirez

The Lions get much needed help on the interior. Muti was the strongest man at the combine posting 44 reps on the bench press.  

68. NEW YORK JETS
Terrell Burgess-SS-Utah    Value +3
5-11/202/4.46/20r
NFL Comp: TJ Ward

Raekwon Davis-DL3T5T-Alabama  Value +2 
6-6/311/33.8/24r
NFL Comp: Michael Brockers
