Mocking the NFL's second round
The Down and Dirty version...
33) New England: Jabaal Sheard, OLB, Pittsbugh - Sure, the Pats could deal again, but they truly need a pass rusher and a few are still here
34) Buffalo: Andy Dalton, QB, TCU - Him or Colin Kaepernick. Dalton is the safer, steadier option.
35) Cincinnati: Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas - When has a player's negative off-the-field rep scared away the Bengals?
36) Denver: Marvin Austin, DT, UNC - After passing on Dareus in the first, Broncos must address defensive tackle spot in round two.
37) Cleveland: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson - Injuries sent the sack master's draft stock plummeting, but Browns have extra second rounder to chance it.
38) Arizona: Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona - Cardinals go with the local kid for outside pass rush pressure
39) Tennessee: Justin Houston, DE, Georgia - Reported failed drug test likely knocked Houston out of round one and into Titans waiting arms.
40) Dallas: Aaron Williams, DB, Texas - Cowboys secondary was picked on last year. Help is coming, whether Williams eventually is a corner or safety
41) Washington: Colin Kaerpernick, QB, Nevada - Now with an extra second round pick, Mike Shanahan can take his QB of the future here, though a defensive lineman like Stephen Paea serves more immediate need.
42) Houston: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami - Dead last in pass defense, Texans get help in a 5-foot-9 package.
43) Minnesota, Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State - Williams Wall starting to crumble, powerful Paea would solidify defensive line.
44) Detroit: Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia - Secondary weakest link in Lions improving defense and UVA stud is last of quality corner options
45) San Francisco: Torrey Smith, WR, Maryland - Not Niners top need, but the blazing receiver fills in role opposite Michael Crabtree.
46) Denver: Rahim Moore, S, UCLA - Secondary or right tackle makes sense here for Broncos, but Moore only true viable safety option in the draft
47) St. Louis: Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame: Rams must give Sam Bradford better receiving option and Rudolph is great value this far down.
48) Oakland: Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA: Ayers had first round grade for many, but lack of off-the-charts athleticism knocks him down
49) Washington: Rodney Hudson, G/C, Florida State: A four-year starter at FSU, Hudson was the Seminoles offensive MVP last season and is a strong fit for the Redskins zone blocking schemes. Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams is another option.
50) San Diego: Leonard Hankerson, WR, Miami - Chargers like their big receivers and could lose Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd in free agency.
51) Tampa Bay: Bruce Carter, OLB, UNC: Could corner considering Aqib Talib's legal issues, but Carter best value and linebacker sincere need
52) NY Giants: Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida: Offensive line is aging across the board and the massive Gilbert started 27 games for Gators the last two seasons
53) Indianapolis: Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech - Joseph Addai's skills are eroding and Donald Brown's never materialized.
54) Philadelphia: Mason Foster, OLB, Washington - Eagles would be wise to take a second offensive lineman, but Foster will be a strong open-field tackler for their defense.
55) Kansas City: Kenrick Ellis, NT, Hampton - Chiefs were thought to be hot and heavy for Phil Taylor in round one, but get their nose tacke here.
56) New England: Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois - Patriots have solid, but not true lead backs.
57) Seattle: Jurrell Casey, DT, USC - Pete Carroll knows what the defensive lineman sleeper is all about.
58) Baltimore: Titus Young, WR, Boise State - Ravens must add speed to aging unit and Young does that in spades.
59) Cleveland: Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky - Nobody is scared of the Browns current receiving options, other than the quarterbacks that have to throw their way.
60) New England: Ben Ijalana, G/T, Villanova - Patriots could lose 2-3 starters along offensive line.
61) San Diego: Martez Wilson, LB, Illinois - The inside linebcker posted 112 tackles one season after neck surgery, would be a steal this late.
62) Chicago: William Rackley, G, Lehigh - Another big body to help protect Jay Cutler and his, um, injured knee.
63) Pittsburgh: Johnny Patrick, CB. Louisville - Steelers secondary had no chance against Aaron Rodgers in the Super Bowl. Taking a guard like Georgia's Clint Boling also in play.
64) Green Bay: Allen Bailey, DE, Miami: Protection in case Cullen Jenkins leaves via free agency.
