2nd Round

2 33 Detroit: William Beatty--OT Connecticut....... Will allow Backus to move to guard as they work to strengthen the offensive line

2 34 New England (from Kansas City): James Laurinaitis--ILB Ohio State.......Team with Cushing and Mayo to make linebacking a strength again for this team.

2 35 St. Louis: Larry English--OLB Northern Illinois......... Great motor who should push to start early in the season.

2 36 Cleveland: Connor Barwin--OLB Cincinnati......... Solid blue collar player that should excel in the new defense.

2 37 Seattle: LeSean McCoy--RB Pittsburgh......... Possibly the steal of the draft. Could be the franchise back they lacked last year.

2 38 Cincinnati: Alex Mack---C California.....Instant started who is a smart, high character player who should help change the image of the Bengals.

2 39 Jacksonville: Darry Beckwith--ILB LSU.........With the departure of Peterson, the Jags need a new man in the middle and Beckwith will provide that.

2 40 Oakland: Duke Robinson--OG Oklahoma............. Stud linemen who should start from Day 1 in Oakland.

2 41 Green Bay: Phil Loadholt--OT Oklahoma....... Some questions exist on the line especially at tackle where Loadholt will be a starter by mid-season.

2 42 Buffalo: Kraig Urbik--OG Wisconsin...... Blue collar worker that the Buffalo fans will love and QB Trent Edwards will appreciate.

2 43 San Francisco: Darius Butler--CB Connecticut...... Major rebuilding gets a great shot in the arm with the very talented and under-rated Butler.

2 44 Miami (from Washington): Clint Sintim--OLB Virginia........... The Dolphins added the WR and not get a linebacker who learned from Parcells's friend Al Groh.

2 45 NY Giants (from New Orleans): Jared Cook--TE South Carolina...... Little depth behind Boss so Cook should see action early in the season

2 46 Houston: Patrick Chung--SS Oregon........ Texans still need to upgrade the second level of their defense and now have added a linebacker in Matthews and a SS in Chung so help is certainly on the way.

2 47 New England (from San Diego): Alphonso Smith--CB Wake Forest........... This teams has way to many picks so I expect some trading up but for the purpose of this mock no trades where projected. Adding Alphonso will give them a young future star to groom at corner.

2 48 Denver: William Moore--SS Missouri..........Keep adding to the defense. Moore will likely start day one.

2 49 Chicago: Michael Johnson--DE Georgia Tech.......... May go WR with this pick but the freakishly talented Johnson will add a special player to their defense and might be more valuable to the team this season than waiting for another wide receiver to develop.

2 50 Cleveland (from Tampa Bay): D.J. Moore--CB Vanderbilt.............. The new regime will look to upgrade the defensive talent on all levels and Moore carries a 1st round grade that is a steal at the #50 spot.

2 51 Dallas: Herman Johnson--OG LSU.............. Last year's injury to Kyle Kosier showed that Dallas needs to upgrade the guard position as Cory Proctor is not an every game starter. Johnson is a huge man and showed that he's taking the shot at the NFL serious by controlling his weight. Some compare him with current Cowboys player Leonard Davis.

2 52 NY Jets: Brian Robiskie--WR Ohio State........... Robiskie is a nice addition to the Jets and is mature beyond his age so his transition should be easier than most when it comes to adjusting to the NFL and likely can make a significant contribution rather quick in the NFL.

2 53 Philadelphia: Louis Delmas--FS Western Michigan........... Losing Dawkins and Considine the Eagles need to upgrade and add talent to the safety position.

2 54 Minnesota: Fili Moala--DT USC........ Beef in the middle and a great third DT to go with the Kevin and Pat Williams. Also great insurance should they have anymore issues with drug tests.

2 55 Atlanta: James Casey--TE Rice........Nice safety value option for Matt Ryan. Type of player that should work well for Atlanta in the atmosphere they are trying to develop around the team.

2 56 Miami: Victor Harris--CB Virginia Tech............. Young corner to be groomed for a starting role in the coming years. In the meantime will excel as a nickel and special teams player.

2 57 Baltimore: Marcus Freeman--OLB Ohio State........ Need to restock the linebacking core and Freeman is an unsung player on the Buckeyes defense.

2 58 New England: Rashad Jennings--RB Liberty.............Hoping to reduce running back by committee Jennings would be groomed to be a feature back for the Pats.

2 59 Carolina: Juaquin Iglesias--WR Oklahoma............ While reports are that Jarrett finally is ready to make the next step the Panthers will still need options just in case that is not the case.

2 60 NY Giants: Jamon Meredith--OT South Carolina........ Stock up the line as you can never have enough young talent linemen.

2 61 Indianapolis: Ron Brace--DT Boston College......Teams with 1st round pick, Peria Jerry, to help change the culture that defense is the softer side of the team.

2 62 Tennessee: Max Unger--C Oregon.........Replacement for Kevin Mawae whenever he decides to hang it up.

2 63 Arizona: Shonn Greene--RB Iowa........If the Edge is ready to leave the desert they will need a replacement

2 64 Pittsburgh: Eric Wood--C Louisville.......Keep adding to the offensive line. Wood is a big boy who is the type of player you put in the lineup and he's a starter for 15 years.
