I wrote this at 2:00 am last night so bare with me...

___________________________________

33. Luther Burden III WR

Cleveland Browns

Burden should have gone in the first round and will be the starting slot receiver in Cleveland right away.

___________________________________

34. Darius Alexander DT

Houston Texans (via NY Giants)

The Texans take their first of 2 second-round picks and draft Darius Alexander. A big and athletic D-lineman that will continue to improve their pass rush.

___________________________________

35. Mike Green Edge

Tennessee Titans

Another player that should've gone in the 1st, Green will be an outstanding addition to this pass rush and should contribute immediately with close to 10 sacks his rookie year.

___________________________________

36. Shedeur Sanders QB

Cleveland Browns (via Jacksonville)

Shedeur finally gets taken here at 36 to the Browns. Shedeur will be in a crowded QB room especially when Deshaun Watson comes back but should emerge as the starter by next season.

___________________________________

37. Will Johnson CB

Las Vegas Raiders

The #5 prospect on my Big Board, Johnson has injury concerns that have caused him to fall but with the Raiders DB room in it's current state, they won't pass on him.

___________________________________

38. TreVeyon Henderson RB

New England Patriots

The Patriots are ready to move on from Rhaomndre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson's versatility will remind Josh McDaniels of James White.

___________________________________

39. T.J. Sanders DT

Chicago Bears (via Carolina)

The first of their 2 second-round picks, the Bears bring in T.J. Sanders to their D-line rotation with Jarrett and Dexter and could possibly start in his rookie year.

___________________________________

40. Trey Amos CB

New Orleans Saints

The Saints continue with their smart, rebuild-starting draft and take a solid prototype Cornerback Trey Amos. Alongside McKinstry and Taylor, this DB room is off to a good start.

___________________________________

41. Cam Skattebo RB

Chicago Bears

The Bears went and drafted their guy at #10 and now they get Cam Skattebo at 41. Ben Johnson will find Skattebo's versatility and toughness too intriguing to pass on.

___________________________________

42. Shavon Revel Jr. CB

New York Jets

Shavon Revel Jr. dropping to 42 is a bit of a drop and alongside Sauce Gardner in New York could cause quite a commotion for Quarterbacks.

___________________________________

43. Jonah Savaiinaea OG

San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers drafted D-line in the First and now go O-line in the Second. Savaiinaea is a big, agile run-blocker that could play Tackle or Guard in San Fran.

___________________________________

44. Nick Emmanwori SAF

Dallas Cowboys

Emmanwori seems like a Cowboy already and after falling all the way to 44, will become their Safety of the future.

___________________________________

45. Aireontae Ersery OT

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts will be upset Emmanwori just went but are happy to take the bulking Tackle Aireontae Ersery. Possibly on the bench this season, Ersery will be next up when Braden Smith leaves next year.

___________________________________

46. Mason Taylor TE

Los Angeles Rams (via Atlanta)

Acquired from the James Pearce Jr. trade, Mason Taylor goes here at 46 to the Rams. Alongside Davante and Puka, the Rams will have quite the pass game again next year.

___________________________________

47. Carson Schwesinger LB

Arizona Cardinals

There's not much to say about Carson Schwesinger. He is just a good, solid LB the Cardinals will have in the middle of their defense for years to come.

___________________________________

48. Darien Porter CB

Miami Dolphins

Very cornerback-needy, Darien Porter will be a revelation in Miami and start right away thanks to his size-speed combo and ball hawking ability.

___________________________________

49. Kevin Winston Jr. SAF

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals should go defense for every pick in this draft. After adding to the pass rush in the First, get Kevin Winston here who's great against the pass and run as a SS.

___________________________________

50. Elijah Arroyo TE

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks need pass catchers and after releasing Noah Fant, add Elijah Arroyo who is an immediate upgrade. Arroyo is a big vertical threat to help Sam Darnold in the middle of the field.

___________________________________

51. Quinshon Judkins RB

Denver Broncos

After surprisingly not drafting a RB in the First, the Broncos take Quinshon Judkins and are closing in on as well-rounded of a roster as anyone in the league.

___________________________________

52. Donovan Ezeiruaku Edge

Seattle Seahawks (via Pittsburgh)

The Seahawks pass rush is good but they could always add more and Ezeiruaku should have NEVER made it to 52. A terrific BPA pick for Seattle.

___________________________________

53. Nic Scourton ED

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers made me scratch my head by taking Egbuka in the First. They really need pass rush and luckily a guy like Nic Scourton is still on the board here.

___________________________________

54. Benjamin Morrison CB

Green Bay Packers

The Packers also shocked me by taking a WR, Matthew Golden. Their biggest need is corner especially if Jaire Alexander leaves. Morrison may need a redshirt year but if he returns to his 2023-potential... could be the steal of the draft.

___________________________________

55. J.T. Tuimoloau ED

Los Angeles Chargers

Jim Harbaugh really like very large, athletes all over the field and J.T. Tuimoloau not only fits that, but terrorized him at Michigan for two years on the Ohio State D-line.

___________________________________

56. Jack Bech WR

Buffalo Bills (via Minnesota)

The Bills will draft a WR at some point in this draft and Jack Bech would make a lot of sense. Bech will be another great intermediate threat for Josh Allen and really fill out this WR room.

___________________________________

57. Landon Jackson ED

Carolina Panthers (via LA Rams)

The Panthers grabbed their WR in the First, go get you an Edge in the Second and Landon Jackson makes a lot of sense. Very big and long, Jackson will bring a huge body to a Panthers edge that really needs it.

___________________________________

58. Jared Wilson IOL

Houston Texans

The Texans need OL more than anyone in the league and wait until 58 to get one. The best Center in the draft, Wilson will immediately start and make a difference in Houston.

___________________________________

59. Jordan Burch Edge

Baltimore Ravens

Jordan Burch is a twitchy 290-pound pass rusher that alongside Mmadibuike, will make Baltimore's defense even scarier.

___________________________________

60. Olu Oladejo Edge

Detroit Lions

VERY upset about Burch going before them, Oladejo is another great option for the Lions pass rush with great hands and power.

___________________________________

61. Jayden Higgins WR

Washington Commanders

The Commanders have Jayden Higgins falling into their laps at 61 and are laughing all the way to the podium to draft him.

___________________________________

62. Kaleb Johnson RB

Buffalo Bills

A personal favorite of mine, I have drafted Kaleb to the Bills in a couple mocks and combining with James Cook will make the Bills run game even scarier.

___________________________________

63. Azareye'h Thomas CB

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs added Kristian Fulton this offseason but can still upgrade their DB's. Azareye'h Thomas will bring size and man coverage to KC and for a bargain at 63.

___________________________________

64. Jalen Royals WR

Philadelphia Eagles

Finally, the rich continue to get richer. A dynamic "X" receiver, Royals has al the tools to succeed but will need a little time to adjust to NFL defenses.
