Pick	Grade	Team	Analysis
32	B		Browns select: Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State He has tools, but when he faced Laremy Tunsil, he was shut down. That's concerning. Fills a need.
33	C+		Titans select: Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson I don't love the player. I think he's had one or two games, but he's just average in my book.
34	C-		Cowboys select: Jaylon Smith, OLB, Notre Dame Could be a great player, but can they afford this risk? When will he be back? I hope it's soon, but you never know.
35	B+		Chargers select: Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas Like this pick as the guy to take over for Antonio Gates. Best pure tight end in the draft.
36	A+		Jaguars select: Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA This is the best defensive player in the draft. Steal. Steal. Steal.
37	A		Chiefs select: Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State I love this kid. He had first-round talent. Inconsistency is his only knock and the Chiefs will love him.
38	B+		Dolphins select: Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor This is a kid scout's loved. A fast riser who can step into their scheme and start. I like the move to get him.
39	B		Buccaneers select: Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky As a player, I like this pick. The off-the-field issues are concerning. If he's focused, could be a real steal.
40	A		Giants select: Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma Love this pick. The Giants get a steal here in a really dynamic slot receiver.
41	B		Bills select: Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama They needed a run-thumper and they get a guy who could have been a first-round pick
42	B		Ravens select: Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State When I watched the Boise State tape to watch the safety, he flashed. Has some nice pass-rush skills. Fits their scheme.
43	B-		Titans select: Austin Johnson, DT, Penn State He's a physical player who can come in and help a line that needs help. Dodd and Johnson give them young legs.
44	B		Raiders select: Jihad Ward, DE, Illinois This is a raw JUCO transfer who has pass-rushing ability. This is a guy scouts loved.
45	D		Titans select: Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama Why? Why? Why? They have DeMarco Murray. So, why?
46	B		Lions select: A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama They get a big, power player to add to their line, which needed some help.
47	B		Saints select: Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State He's their new Marques Colston. He isn't a speedster but he has talent. Solid selection to add a weapon for Drew Brees.
48	A		Packers select: Jason Spriggs, T, Indiana Love this kid. He fits what they want to do with the position. He's a great athlete.
49	A		Seahawks select: Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama Love this move. This kid is perfect for their scheme. John Schneider does it again.
50	B+		Texans select: Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame Martin steps in and starts at center from the get-go. Solid pick.
51	A+		Jets select: Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State They had to take a quarterback and they get one of the most underrated in this draft. This is a great pick.
52	A		Falcons select: Deion Jones, ILB, LSU Really liked this kid's speed. They needed speed at linebacker, and he can fly. Nice pick.
53	B		Redskins select: Su'a Cravens, OLB, USC He is a modern style linebacker, a hybrid who can stay on the field. Tough, too.
54	B+		Vikings select: Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson They get a man-cover player who had to be great value because it's not a glaring need. Good player.
55	B		Bengals select: Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh They needed a receiver and get a good one. There was one thought he could be a first-round pick early last year.
56	B		Bears select: Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State He can play all the line spots, which is a good thing. I think he's better inside.
57	B-		Colts select: T.J. Green, FS, Clemson He is a big corner who some think could move to safety. They need help on the back end so it makes sense.
58	A+		Steelers select: Sean Davis, CB, Maryland Love this pick. Love this kid. The Steelers get a safety with range who can cover and tackle. Secondary is fixed.
59	F		Buccaneers select: Roberto Aguayo, K, Florida State Why take a kicker in the second round? There are a hundred of them.
60	B+		Patriots select: Cyrus Jones, CB, Alabama Slot corner. Return man. Patriots get another good player.
61	B-		Saints select: Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State This is an indictment of past moves. I like the player, but what does it mean for the guys there?
62	B-		Panthers select: James Bradberry, CB, Samford They like big corners who play zone coverage. Sounds like Josh Norman. Raw, but fits.
63	B-		Broncos select: Adam Gotsis, DT, Georgia Tech This might seem high for this kid, but scouts raved about his toughness. John Elway with a solid pick.
