ROUND 2
Rams – Quick, Brian – WR – 6’3″ – 220 – Appalachian St. – 83.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “The Greatest Show on Turf personally welcomes Brian Quick. He’s a height, weight, speed specimen. His production could be a little delayed, but he will be fast-tracked by the Rams’ coaching staff… This is a guy they’re going to need production from right away.” – VIDEO
Colts – Fleener, Coby – TE – 6’6″ – 247 – Stanford – 86.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This has to help Andrew Luck immensely. You’ve got your quarterback of the future, and now this is a great pick that protects him. Luck gets his college tight end.” – VIDEO
Ravens (From Vikings) – Upshaw, Courtney – OLB – 6’2″ – 272 – Alabama – 88.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “What a great fit. Remember, their Sam linebacker left town. Upshaw now steps in with a chance to win that spot as a second-round rookie.” – VIDEO
Broncos (From Buccaneers) – Wolfe, Derek – DT – 6’5″ – 295 – Cincinnati – 47.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is one of the most solid players in this draft. He won’t overwhelm you with measurables, but when you put his tape on there’s rarely a mistake. He can play the 3-technique, which he will in Denver. His stock had been rising steadily since the Senior Bowl. The Broncos have nothing at defensive tackle, so this is a good pick.” – VIDEO
Browns – Schwartz, Mitchell – T – 6’5″ – 318 – California – 82.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a guy that wins ugly — but he wins. His stock has been rising ever since the Senior Bowl. His technique and the angles he takes are phenomenal. He’s a plug-and-play right tackle, so he better be a starter right away.” – VIDEO
Jaguars – Branch, Andre – DE – 6’4″ – 259 – Clemson – 86.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “That’s an explosive kid off the edge. Let’s give general manager Gene Smith some credit here, moving up to get his receiver in the first round and now getting a premier rusher off the edge in the second round.” – VIDEO
Rams (From Redskins) – Jenkins, Janoris – CB – 5’10″ – 193 – North Alabama – 86.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “We wondered if they could get their wide receiver with the first pick of the second round and then come back and get Jenkins here. One of the most gifted corners in any draft class. His feet and change of direction are phenomenal.” – VIDEO
Panthers – Silatolu, Amini – T – 6’4″ – 311 – Midwestern St. – 83.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “That is a good football player, my beast from Midwestern State. He’s tough, nasty, a finisher. He’s a little bit raw. He’s a gifted player, but he’s raw. But I’m telling you right now that he’s a starting guard with Pro Bowl potential. This is a good move by Carolina.” – VIDEO
Bills – Glenn, Cordy – T – 6’5″ – 345 – Georgia – 88.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I think he’s better suited for the right side. I don’t think he’s got left-tackle feet, and he could be a Pro Bowl guard if the Bills ever decide to move him inside.” – VIDEO
Dolphins – Martin, Jonathan – OT – 6’5″ – 312 – Stanford – 87.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “First-round talent right here, tremendous arm length. I call him a little bit of a finesse player. Doesn’t mean he’s not tough, but he’s so good with his feet and understands angles. I believe the Dolphins just got themselves a starter on either the right or left side.” – VIDEO
Jets (From Seahawks) – Hill, Stephen – WR – 6’4″ – 215 – Georgia Tech – 86.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “We’re going to call this kid ‘Thrill Hill’. This kid can jump, he’s fast, he’s long, he’s athletic. I was stunned at how well he got in and out of breaks. But he’s very raw.” – VIDEO
Chiefs – Allen, Jeff – T – 6’4″ – 307 – Illinois – 82.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s a natural pass protector, who I think is a Day 1 starter. For Kansas City, I think he’s a left guard, which is fine because he’s got the skill set to do so.” – VIDEO
Bears (From Cowboys through Rams) – Jeffery, Alshon – WR – 6’4″ – 230 – South Carolina – 84.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “A lot of people thought he would be a high first-round pick after his second-year production, but that dropped last season mostly because of indifferent QB player. The biggest issue is his weight. The question with him is, which kid are you getting? Are you getting the 213-pound kid who showed up at his pro day, or are you getting the 240-pounder who played last year after you give him a bunch of money?” – VIDEO
Eagles – Kendricks, Mychal – ILB – 5’11″ – 239 – California – 79.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I thought he was one of the most productive and active linebackers in college football. He’s instinctive, he can run, and I think he fits what the Eagles do. They have DeMeco Ryans inside. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kendricks outside.” – VIDEO
Seahawks (From Jets) – Wagner, Bobby – ILB – 6’0″ – 233 – Utah St. – 84.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is Pete Carroll’s kind of linebacker. He’s been a fast riser. He tested extremely well, and he’s a big linebacker. This guy is also a four-team special teams player, so you get that production from him, too. He can be explosive for them.” – VIDEO
Patriots (From Raiders) – Wilson, Tavon – FS – 6’0″ – 205 – Illinois – 48.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is one of the bigger shocks to me so far. He’s been a high riser combination corner and free safety. He’s interesting because, when you talk about Bill Belichick and scheme versatility, this is what Bill goes for.” – VIDEO
Chargers – Reyes, Kendall – DT – 6’4″ – 299 – Connecticut – 84.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a good, solid football player. He’s not flashy. He’s an athletic kid, plays a little bit high. But you know what you’re getting from him. He’s a solid 3-technique who will play the 5-technique in San Diego.” – VIDEO
Rams (From Bears) – Pead, Isaiah – RB – 5’10″ – 197 – Cincinnati – 76.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Pead is an explosive, burst excelerator. He’s great in space. I love the fact that St. Louis took him. Remember, they’re trying to protect Sam Bradford, and you do that in a number of ways. Nobody is behind Steven Jackson, so you get this kid the ball in space.” – VIDEO
Packers (From Cardinals through Eagles) – Worthy, Jerel – DT – 6’2″ – 308 – Michigan St. – 84.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I had a first-round grade on this defensive tackle. There’s positives and negatives with him, so which kid are you buying into? I think he’s a solid football player, and remember that he fits a need and provides depth in Green Bay.” – VIDEO
Titans – Brown, Zach – OLB – 6’1″ – 244 – North Carolina – 85.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “There’s good news and bad news with this pick. This is one of the most gifted athletes in this draft. He’s the fastest linebacker, he flies all over. That’s the good news. The bad news is that he’s somewhat allergic to contact. He’s a great Will linebacker to rush the passer, but he struggles at the point of attack.” – VIDEO
Bengals – Still, Devon – DT – 6’5″ – 303 – Penn St. – 84.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “The Bengals need a big body behind Geno Atkins who can come in and play on run downs. A lot of people thought a year ago that Still would be a top-20 pick, but his tape is indifferent and inconsistent.” – VIDEO
Lions – Broyles, Ryan – WR – 5’10″ – 192 – Oklahoma – 79.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “The bad news for Detroit is that you don’t know how quickly he’s going to be available. I gave him a solid second-round grade before he tore his ACL late in the season at Oklahoma. He’s a quick, fast, tough-as-nails slot receiver who can provide value in the return game. But you don’t know when you’ll get him. They’re going to have to be patient.” – VIDEO
Falcons – Konz, Peter – C – 6’5″ – 314 – Wisconsin – 86.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Another one of those plug-and-play offensive lineman who is coached so well. The only downside is that not once in three years did he complete a season without missing a game, so injury has to be a concern. But I think he starts Day 1 in Atlanta.” – VIDEO
Steelers – Adams, Mike – OT – 6’7″ – 323 – Ohio St. – 86.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He would’ve been a first-round pick had he not failed the drug test at the combine. He’s got left-tackle feet. There’s some off-the-field issues, but he’s a gifted left tackle. Now with him and David DeCastro in the first round, this is a completely different offensive line.” – VIDEO
Broncos – Osweiler, Brock – QB – 6’7″ – 242 – Arizona State – 83.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s a little bit of a project, which makes sense to have him training, interning, behind Peyton Manning and John Elway. He’s very raw but with significant upside. Despite the fact that he’s started just 15 games, you can see the skill set. He’s got a big arm, maybe the best in the draft this year. If I’m Osweiler, I’ve got a big grin on my face being drafted into this situation in Denver.” – VIDEO
Buccaneers (From Texans) – David, Lavonte – OLB – 6’1″ – 233 – Nebraska – 86.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “If I was Adam Hayward I’d be a little nervous right now. This kid flies.” – VIDEO
Eagles (From Packers) – Curry, Vinny – DE – 6’3″ – 266 – Marshall – 84.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I really believe this is a pick by the Eagles where they say, he’s too good, forget what our needs are. He’s got a motor. He’s going to get hustle sacks and play tough against the run.” – VIDEO
Ravens – Osemele, Kelechi – T – 6’5″ – 333 – Iowa St. – 83.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Another guy I really liked in this draft. I’m guessing he’s the kind of player John Harbaugh likes. He’s a phone-booth offensive guard. I don’t think he can live on the outside.” – VIDEO
49ers – James, LaMichael – RB – 5’8″ – 194 – Oregon – 73.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Keep in mind he’s a third-down change-of-pace guy, who can hit you a home run. The 49ers didn’t generate a lot of yards on offense, and this guy gives them the ability to hit a home run from anywhere in the park.” – VIDEO
Packers (From Patriots) – Hayward, Casey – DB – 5’11″ – 185 – Vanderbilt – 73.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s one of the most instinctive corners in this draft. After Morris Claiborne, Hayward has the best ball skills of any of the corners in this draft. I love this pick for the Packers.” – VIDEO
Giants – Randle, Rueben – WR – 6’4″ – 210 – LSU – 86.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Randle is going to have a great opportunity. He’s blessed with talent, and he goes to a great organization.” – VIDEO
ROUND 3
Colts – Allen, Dwayne – TE – 6’3″ – 255 – Clemson – 84.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “First Coby Fleener, and now this guy. The Colts are looking for weapons. I like his vertical upside, but I question his ability to run block.” – VIDEO
Rams – Johnson, Trumaine – CB – 6’1″ – 204 – Montana – 83.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s got first-round talent even though he went to Montana. Jeff Fisher’s son was a defensive back at Montana, so if anybody has inside information on this kid, it’s the St. Louis Rams.” – VIDEO
Vikings – Robinson, Josh – CB – 5’10″ – 199 – Central Florida – 75.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a position of need. They got Harrison Smith at safety in the first round, and now they’ve got a gifted corner. He’s got starting-caliber talent.” – VIDEO
Broncos (From Browns) – Hillman, Ronnie – RB – 5’9″ – 200 – San Diego St. – 69.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Another third-down change-of-pace guy who has the ability to make you miss. He’s a guy I think provides instant offense for the Denver Broncos in the screen game, the check-down game. Peyton Manning is going to love him.” – VIDEO
Texans (From Buccaneers) – Posey, Devier – WR – 6’1″ – 211 – Ohio St. – 71.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He flashes the ability to control the body with natural hands. Big-bodied receiver. Good pick.” – VIDEO
Bills (From Redskins) – Graham, T J – WR – 5’11″ – 188 – N.C. State – 69.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I had him going in the seventh round. He can fly, though.” – VIDEO
Jaguars – Anger, Bryan – P – 6’3″ – 208 – California – 58.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I always tease about special teams, but three coaches told me he was a draftable punter who could change field position.” – VIDEO
Redskins (From Bills) – Leribeus, Josh – G – 6’3″ – 312 – SMU – 64.7
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s a tough guy. Short arms, but he’s got a nasty disposition.” – VIDEO
Dolphins – Vernon, Olivier – DE – 6’2″ – 261 – Miami – 82.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Out of all the underclassmen that came out this year, and I didn’t think many should have, Vernon is one that I banged the table for. He’s a solid 4-3 defensive end who can get edge pressure on the quarterback.” – VIDEO
Chargers (From Panthers through Bears and Dolphins) – Taylor, Brandon – SS – 5’11″ – 209 – LSU – 75.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I think he’s got starting capabilities in the NFL. He’s tough, he tackles well, and I just think this is a really solid pick for San Diego.” – VIDEO
Chiefs – Stephenson, Donald – T – 6’6″ – 312 – Oklahoma – 82.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “Boy is he a talented developmental left tackle. If you keep this kid working hard, get him in a good locker room with a good offensive line coach, which I think Kansas City has, this kid can pan out nicely.” – VIDEO
Seahawks – Wilson, Russell – QB – 5’11″ – 204 – Wisconsin – 68.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I can’t tell you how much I like this kid… Not only can he be a competent backup and change-of-pace quarterback, but I think someday he can be a starting-quality player.” – VIDEO
Texans (From Eagles) – Brooks, Brandon – G – 6’5″ – 343 – Miami (OH) – 82.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He wasn’t even a combine invite. He’s a massive, physical freak.” – VIDEO
Jets – Davis, Demario – OLB – 6’2″ – 235 – Arkansas State – 69.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is an interesting pick, but I think he fits what the Jets are looking for.” – VIDEO
Dolphins (From Chargers) – Egnew, Michael – TE – 6’5″ – 252 – Missouri – 71.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “When you think Missouri tight end, you think freakish athlete who doesn’t block. Well, this is true again. He can really run, and he’s a natural hands catcher.” – VIDEO
Bears – Hardin, Brandon – FS – 6’3″ – 217 – Oregon St. – 62.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He missed the entire season with a shoulder injury, but played safety at the East-West game. This is a big, good-looking kid who will definitely play inside in Chicago.” – VIDEO
Cardinals – Fleming, Jamell – CB – 5’11″ – 206 – Oklahoma – 83.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He was a riser. He can play zone and will contribute on four teams on special teams.” – VIDEO
Cowboys – Crawford, Tyrone – DE – 6’4″ – 275 – Boise St. – 77.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a good pick. He’s the prototypical 5-technique in the 3-4 defense. He provides tremendous depth that the Cowboys want.” – VIDEO
Titans – Martin, Mike – DT – 6’1″ – 306 – Michigan – 74.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a pass-rushing interior threat. Martin comes in, and he’ll be explosive for them. This is a defensive tackle who is active and can stop the run, as well as pass rush from the inside.” – VIDEO
Bengals – Sanu, Mohamed – WR – 6’2″ – 211 – Rutgers – 80.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s played with three different true freshman QBs in his career, so the fact that he’s impressed enough to get picked in the third round says something about him. I think the Bengals need some help at receiver.” – VIDEO
Ravens (From Falcons) – Pierce, Bernard – RB – 6’0″ – 218 – Temple – 71.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “What I like about Pierce is that he has better feet for a big guy than you would think. For the Ravens, anybody who can step in and take some of the load off of Ray Rice, that’s a good thing.” – VIDEO
Lions – Bentley, Dwight – CB – 5’10″ – 182 – Louisiana-Lafayette – 73.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I thought he had a better Senior Bowl week than what I saw on tape. He’s quicker than he is fast, and he raised his stock.” – VIDEO
Steelers – Spence, Sean – LB – 5’11″ – 231 – Miami – 80.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “One of my favorite football players on tape. He’s one of the more instinctive linebackers in this draft. In the 3-4 scheme in Pittsburgh, he’s going to have to play outside or that Will linebacker inside. Either way, I don’t care, because I really like the way he plays.” – VIDEO
Browns (From Broncos) – Hughes, John – DT – 6’2″ – 309 – Cincinnati – 48.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He’s been rising over about the last two months or so. He’s not elite in any one solid category, but he will be a good rotational player.” – VIDEO
Eagles (From Texans) – Foles, Nick – QB – 6’5″ – 243 – Arizona – 71.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “We thought they might get involved if Ryan Tannehill had dropped to a certain level in the first round. This is a productive QB out of Arizona. I don’t like his feet very much, think he’s a bit heavy-footed in the pocket. But with some development, he’s got a chance to make his way in this league. He’ll get some good coaching in Philadelphia.” – VIDEO
Saints – Hicks, Akiem – DE – 6’5″ – 318 – Regina – 50.2
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He couldn’t play at LSU, went back to Canada, and he dominates at every level. He’s huge and is stout at the point.” – VIDEO
Patriots (From Packers) – Bequette, Jake – DE – 6’5″ – 274 – Arkansas – 66.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “High-motor guy, tough guy. He’ll fit in well in the Patriots’ locker room. Another toy for Coach Belichick to play with.” – VIDEO
Falcons (From Ravens) – Holmes, Lamar – T – 6’5″ – 323 – Southern Miss – 50.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He is a huge tackle. He’s active, he’s tough, and I think he’ll bring a degree of tenacity to the Falcons’ line that they need.” – VIDEO
Colts (From 49ers) – Hilton, T Y – WR – 5’10″ – 183 – Florida International – 74.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a quick and fast player. I think he brings tremendous value also in the return game.” – VIDEO
Bengals (From Patriots) – Thompson, Brandon – DT – 6’2″ – 314 – Clemson – 84.5
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “He can push the pocket in the pass game. He’s quick, he’s tough, he gets off the ball quickly. He’s got a little giddy-up to his game. I like him.” – VIDEO
Giants – Hosley, Jayron – CB – 5’10″ – 178 – Virginia Tech – 84.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “This is a squat corner from Virginia Tech who I think is a heck of a football player.” – VIDEO
Raiders (Compensatory selection) – Bergstrom, Tony – OT – 6’5″ – 313 – Utah – 59.0
Mike Mayock’s pick analysis: “I kind of like this player out of Utah. I believe he will kick inside at guard for the Raiders. He brings some nastiness to Oakland’s line.” – VIDEO
