33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma State
Urban Meyer and Co. made a commitment to reshaping this offense in Round 1. Now, Teven Jenkins can be the tenacious blocker at right tackle in this new-look Jacksonville Jaguars offense who keeps Trevor Lawrence clean and opens running lanes for Travis Etienne. — Matt Johnson
34. New York Jets: Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State
Trading up in the first round to protect Zach Wilson with Alijah Vera-Tucker was a smart move. Even better, the New York Jets keep their second-round pick and fill a position of need with Asante Samuel Jr., who has the NFL pedigree and the physical tools to be fully prepared for the bright lights of New York. — Matt Fitzgerald
35. Atlanta Falcons: Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia
The Atlanta Falcons desperately need pass rushers and there might not be a better player at getting after the quarterback than Ojulari. Although he fell due to medical concerns, Ojulari a first-round talent at a position of need who gets to remain in Georgia as he takes the next step to the NFL. — Matt Johnson
36. Miami Dolphins (from HOU): Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina
After passing on a tailback in Round 1 for a high-upside pass-rusher in Jaelan Phillips, the Miami Dolphins‘ patience is rewarded. Javonte Williams is a burly ball-carrier who scored 19 rushing touchdowns in 2020. He’s decisive, gets north-south in a hurry and is just the type of lead back young quarterback Tua Tagovailoa needs to lean on as an NFL sophomore. — Matt Fitzgerald
37. Philadelphia Eagles: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
After moving up for DeVonta Smith, the Philadelphia Eagles seem committed to reshaping this offense. Considering how much Nick Sirianni loves two tight end sets, Freiermuth is a great addition, and a necessary one. He’ll form a solid duo with Dallas Goedert once Zach Ertz is out of the picture. — Matt Johnson
38. Cincinnati Bengals: Landon Dickerson, iOL, Alabama
Reuniting Joe Burrow with Ja’Marr Chase was a great move for the Cincinnati Bengals to start their draft. Now, they address the obvious need of offensive line with Alabama’s Landon Dickerson. He’ll slot in right away at either guard or center, provided he’s recovered from the knee injury he suffered late last season. – Matt Fitzgerald
39. Carolina Panthers: Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas
The Carolina Panthers took a huge risk by passing on Rashawn Slater in Round 1, but things might work out. Cosmi’s got the physical traits to be a quality left tackle, yet needs to work on his technique. New QB Sam Darnold needs to be better protected than he was with the Jets if he’s meant to succeed in Charlotte, and Cosmi should help. — Matt Johnson
40. Denver Broncos: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
If that Aaron Rodgers blockbuster trade comes to fruition, it may cost the Denver Broncos some of their top draft picks. But wow, if they can walk away from the first two rounds with Patrick Surtain II and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, head coach Vic Fangio should have all the means to unleash havoc on the AFC West’s high-octane opposing offenses. — Matt Fitzgerald
41. Detroit Lions: Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss
With Terrace Marshall Jr. falling due to medical red flags, Detroit lands a receiver in Elijah Moore who flashed first-round talent during a phenomenal 2020 showing. Slot receivers are traditionally undervalued, but Moore will quickly become a go-to target for Jared Goff, who needs all the help he can get to prove he’s the Lions’ QB of the future. — Matt Johnson
42. New York Giants: Joseph Ossai, EDGE, Texas
General manager Dave Gettleman traded down to 20th in Round 1 and went with a surplus position pick in wide receiver Kadarius Toney. Now, he can address the obvious need of a bendy, versatile pass-rusher in Round 2 with Joseph Ossai, whose versatile background and ability to line up at multiple spots on the front seven will allow the Giants to get creative with blitz packages. — Matt Fitzgerald
43. San Francisco 49ers: Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
A dream scenario for the San Francisco 49ers. There aren’t a ton of signs hinting at why Moehrig fell out of Round 1, but he is a great football player. He can play free safety, thanks to his great ballhawk skills, is willing to move into the nickel and he loves delivering hard hits. Defensive backs who can be moved all around the field are cherished by the 49ers.
44. Dallas Cowboys: Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia
Dallas badly wanted Jaycee Horn or Patrick Surtain II to fall to No. 10, but both were gone and that led to the trade down. The Cowboys can’t afford to pass on a cornerback in Round 2. Campbell, who many viewed as Georgia’s best cornerback, offers impressive physical tools, length and moves with ease. With the help of the Cowboys’ coaching staff, this 6-foot-2 cornerback can become a very good defender.
45. Jacksonville Jaguars (from MIN): Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue
In Urban Meyer’s final season at Ohio State,, he saw a 5-foot-9 receiver torch the Buckeyes’ defense for 194 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. You guessed it, that was Rondale Moore. Meyer wants speed and explosiveness in his passing attack, which Moore brings to the table and then some. Put him in the slot, find ways to get him the football in space and watch him make highlight plays.
46. New England Patriots: Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU
Terrace Marshall Jr. is arguably a first-round talent, but medical concerns pushed him down to Day 2. New England isn’t afraid of rolling the dice on some injury risks and we certainly couldn’t blame them here. Marshall would quickly become one of Mac Jones‘ preferred weapons on the outside.
47. Los Angeles Chargers: Carlos Basham Jr., EDGE, Wake Forest
The Chargers finally addressed the offensive line in Round 1, a relief for their franchise quarterback. It’s time for head coach Brandon Staley to get his guy. After letting Melvin Ingram walk, the Chargers need more pass rusher and Carlos Basham Jr. (36 hurries in 2019) boasts the tools to become a disruptor in the NFL.
48. Las Vegas Raiders: Christian Barmore, iDL, Alabama
Barmore is the last player in the NFL’s green room. Viewed as a potential first-round target for the Raiders, Las Vegas now lands him in Round 2. He can provide some needed beef on the interior defensive line, helping create penetration in the pocket. If his flashes in the CFB Playoff are for real, this is a draft-day steal.
49. Arizona Cardinals: Creed Humphrey, iOL, Oklahoma
The 2021 NFL Draft seems to love reunions, so let’s put Creed Humphrey back with his former quarterback. Humphrey played center at Oklahoma, but he can transition to guard at the next level. He’ll be a Week 1 starter, holding his own in pass protection and could eventually replace Rodney Hudson.
50. Miami Dolphins: Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan
Miami’s biggest issue entering the draft was its offense. Jaylen Waddle provides an outstanding vertical threat and Javonte Williams provides the three-down back this team is missing. Now, the focus shifts to the offensive line. Mayfield can start at right tackle, pushing Robert Hunt inside, fortifying the line and protecting Tua Tagovailoa.
