Back on the clock with more picks, less analysis, and some fun surprises. Let me know what you think!
Round 2
33) Jacksonville Jaguars- Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan
Protecting Trevor Lawrence should be priority #1 now that the Jags added Hutchinson in Round 1
34) Detroit Lions- Quay Walker, LB, Georgia
35) New York Jets- Boye Mafe, OLB/DE, Minnesota
36) New York Giants- Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
37) Houston Texans- Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor
38) New York Jets (from Carolina Panthers)- Christian Harris, ILB, Alabama
39) Chicago Bears- Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
The Bears' first pick of the 2022 Draft sees them bring a new weapon in for Justin Fields. Skyy Moore has raw talent and ability now with a proven track record of production. If he keeps honing his craft, he could develop into a star.
40) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver Broncos)- Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
You may be buying that the Seahawks really love Drew Lock, but I don't, so with Matt Corral falling to them, they make sure he doesn't fall further. Corral has a great arm and is a gritty player, sometimes to a fault. He hasn't learned to slide or get out of bounds yet, and his smaller frame doesn't allow him to take all of those hits without consequences. While me may not have the gifts or talent that Pickett or Willis have, he may be the most well-rounded QB coming out of college. Plus, he may get to throw to Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf right away, and who wouldn't want that?
41) Seattle Seahawks- Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington
42) Indianapolis Colts (from Washington Commanders)- George Pickens, WR, Georgia
The Colts' first pick of the Draft is the speedy Pickens from Georgia. He has good burst and sub-4.5 ability, as well as great size for a team that needs more WR help.
43) Atlanta Falcons- Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State
The first RB off the board, Hall will be able to flourish in a RPO offense with Marcus Mariota.
44) Cleveland Browns- Travis Jones, DT, Connecticut
With the Browns first pick, they go big along the D Line. Jones would eat up interior blockers and help their pass rush and run defense.
45) Baltimore Ravens- Arnold Ebiketie, DE/OLB, Penn State
46) Minnesota Vikings- Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State
First TE off the board. McBride has great size and production. He will immediately replace Tyler Conklin.
47) Washington Commanders (from Indianapolis Colts)- Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
The Commanders have their #1 in Terry McLaurin, and a slot WR in Curtis Samuel. Adding Pierce brings in a big, powerful possession receiver who can also make plays with his surprising speed.
48) Chicago Bears (from Los Angeles Chargers)- Tyler Smith, OT/G, Tulsa
49) New Orleans Saints- Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State
50) Kansas City Chiefs (from Miami Dolphins)- David Ojabo, DE/OLB, Michigan
The Chiefs are the kind of team that afford to take Ojabo, who will miss the entire 2022 season after getting hurt at his pro day, and wait til he is healthy. Ojabo was a mid-1st talent, so this could be a steal.
51) Philadelphia Eagles- Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
52) Pittsburgh Steelers- Perrion Winfrey, IDL, Oklahoma
53) Green Bay Packers (from Las Vegas Raiders)- Phidarian Mathis, IDL, Alabama
54) New England Patriots- Logan Hall, DL, Houston
55) Arizona Cardinals- Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
56) Dallas Cowboys- Nik Bonitto, OLB, Oklahoma
57) Buffalo Bills- John Metchie III, WR, Alabama
58) Atlanta Falcons (from Tennessee Titans)- Sam Howell, QB, UNC
Another QB! I don't buy that Mariota is the long term answer for the Falcons, and Howell has the ability to thrive in the NFL. That said, he may need to sit and learn for at least half the season. Then, he can come in, take control of the team, and show everyone why he was in the conversation for the first overall pick before the 2021 season.
59) Green Bay Packers- Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
60) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- DeMarvin Leal, DL, Texas A&M
61) San Francisco 49ers- Cole Strange, G, Chattanooga
The Niners' first pick in the Draft, addressing a need for depth and youth along their interior OL. He can also play center, which is another need for the 49ers.
62) Kansas City Chiefs- Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama
63) Cincinnati Bengals- Leo Chenal, ILB, Wisconsin
64) Denver Broncos (from Los Angeles Rams)- Chad Muma, ILB, Wyoming
The first pick for the Broncos is an extremely talented middle linebacker from Wyoming. He has 125 tackles last year and was a Butkus Award finalist. He can also be a special teams wiz as he develops.
