2017 NFL Draft Round 2

33	A+
Packers select: Kevin King, CB, Washington Love this kid. Love this pick. Smart move by Ted Thompson. King is a hell of a corner.
34	B+
Jaguars select: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama They needed to get help up front, so this makes sense -- if he's focused. He can play left tackle, guard or right tackle.
35	A
Seahawks select: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State   This is another really good pick early in the round. He has top-10 talent, but there are some effort questions. Right team here.
36	A
Cardinals select: Budda Baker, S, Washington  I love his game. He is a play-making safety who will hit you and can cover. Reminds me of former Colt Bob Sanders.
37	B+
Bills select: Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina He caught a ton of passes at East Carolina and will be a nice replacement for Robert Woods. He will be a 75-catch player in a year.
38	B+
Chargers select: Forrest Lamp, OL, Western Kentucky  They landed a player some scouts think is the best offensive lineman in the draft. And it fills a big-time need.
39	C
Jets select: Marcus Maye, S, Florida  It's weird to see them go safety-safety with so many needs. Maye is a solid player, but why two safeties?
40	B-
Panthers select: Curtis Samuel, WR/RB, Ohio State   He played running back and receiver, but I think he's a slot guy in the NFL. They need that in their offense.
41	B
Vikings select: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State From a talent standpoint, it's a steal. He has star ability, but there are concerns off the field.
42	B
Saints select: Marcus Williams, S, Utah There were some scouts who thought he was the second-best safety in the draft. But was it really a need?
43	B
Eagles select: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington  There is risk coming off the torn Achilles tendon, but he could be a steal if it works out. And it is a big-time need.
44	C
Rams select: Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama After taking Tyler Higbee last year, this is an odd pick. They need help on their line and in the secondary.
45	C-
Bears select: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland  They are a team that needs weapons, and this kid is a player the scouts really liked. But they had other pressing needs.
46	B+
Colts select: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida  This is a need pick and they land a heck of a corner. He had first-round talent in the eyes of some personnel men.
47	B
Ravens select: Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston They needed to upgrade their edge rush, and this is  kid who has moved up a lot of boards in recent months. A good, solid pick.
48	B
Bengals select: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma  From a talent standpoint, this is a big hit. Might be the best runner in the draft. But there is that baggage.
49	B
Redskins select: Ryan Anderson, OLB, Alabama  Anderson is weird body guy for an edge rusher, but he plays hard and knows how to get to the
50	B+
Buccaneers Justin Evans, SS, Texas A&M He has great range, but he isn't a great tackler. It is a position of need, so I like it.
51	B
Broncos select: DeMarcus Walker, DE, Florida State He was a productive player in college, a good pass rusher, and they need help up front.
52	B
Browns select: DeShone Kizer, QB, Browns  They finally take a quarterback, so give them credit. He has a ton of talent.
53	C
Lions select: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida They need corner help, but he doesn't run well and he didn't do a lot to impress in the offseason with his testing.
54	B
Dolphins select: Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State  This is a need pick of a good football player. He will be a productive starter.
55	A
Giants select: Dalvin Tomlinson, DT, Alabama  I love this kid. He is a tough, physical player who loves the game. That is a hit.
56	B
Raiders select: Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut  A lot of scouts thought he was a first-round talent. He is raw, but what a physical freak.
57	B+
Texans select: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt He made a lot of tackles in a big-time conference. The Texans linebackers were an issue last year -- especially in coverage.
58	B
Seahawks select: Ethan Pocic, C, LSU  They need help on their line, but he's a center, and Justin Britt was their best lineman at center last year.
59	B
Chiefs select: Tanoh Kpassagnon, OLB/DE, Villanova He is a raw, big, physical player, but he will have a learning curve. But he fits with what they do.
60	A
Cowboys select: Chidobe Awuzie, DB, Colorado  Getting a player this talented in this spot is a big time steal for the Cowboys.
61	B
Packers select: Josh Jones, S, NC State  I like Jones as a player, and he will help them get past the loss of Micah Hyde.
62	B-
Steelers select: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC  I don't think this was an overwhelming need, but he was productive in a good conference.
63	B-
Bills select: Dion Dawkins, OG, Temple   They need help on the line and this is a kid who has starting ability right away. He plays with a nasty streak. .
64	B-
Panthers select: Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan  It's about time they addressed their offensive line. He was a good, solid player who held his own when matched against the big schools. Can play guard or tackle.
