Second Round Part 1

33. St. Louis Rams: Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
The Rams have drafted their supposed Quarterback of the future, next they will need to look to improve their sad defense. Dunlap is a first round talent that I have falling to the second only because of his DUI and suspension. This shouldn't be a problem for a team that had Leonard Little who was charged for DUI twice and killed someone the first time, not to mention Little is 35 years old about time to find a replacement.

34. Detroit Lions: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
No surprise that the teams picking first had some of the worst defenses this past season. The Lions would love to go back to having a secondary like the days they had Dre Bly; after a great Senior Bowl Wilson has become in my mind the third best CB and gives Lions another solid defensive player.

35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Lamarr Houston, DT, Texas
Buccaneers passed on drafting a stud DT to pick a stud safety. This time they will address the much needed position with a prospect that quietly had a monster year at Texas and is worthy of the second round label.

36. Kansas City Chiefs: Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Chiefs got their franchise LT but still are not complete in improving their line. Pouncey, the best center in the draft fills another need and will help protect their prized Quarterback.

37. Washington Redskins: Jason Fox, OT, Miami
This is a somewhat risky pick because the Skins are reaching for a player coming off of surgery but I think Fox is the best tackle prospect on the board and the Skins will realize that. Fox has the size, experience and potential that they cannot pass up to have blocking their QB of the future.

38. Cleveland Browns: Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern
Both of the Browns ends are in their 30s, time to continue the youth movement on the defensive side of the ball. His versatility of being capable to play DE or DT based on the 3-4 or 4-3 scheme will make him an attractive player.

39. Oakland Raiders: Mike Johnson, G, Alabama
First Team All-American, Mike Johnson, helps to fix an offensive line that guards are in their 30's and one was even cut by the Bills. His outstanding run blocking would help a team loaded with running backs and he has the versatility to play either guard position and right tackle if need be.

40. Seattle Seahawks: Jahvid Best, RB, Cal
Julius Jones is a pathetic excuse for a starting running-back, earning a lowly 3.7 yards per carry last year and if you know who Justin Forsett is congratulations you know the most mediocre RB group in the league. Best is a brilliant athletic prospect with his quick feet and elusiveness but he isn't a great blocker and isn't powerful at all combine that with backs are a dime a dozen now he drops to the second round.

41. Buffalo Bills: Brandon Graham, OLB, Michigan
Senior Bowl MVP helped his draft stock with a strong performance constantly penetrating into the backfield. But don't be surprised if he sneaks into the first round, but here he fits perfectly with the Bills who just hired a defensive coordinator that will transition their defense to the 3-4, which he would play OLB in that scheme and is his best fit.

42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Chicago): Damian Williams, WR, USC
Possibly the best route-runner in the draft, Williams could be a reciever that comes in and immediately contributes to a team that needs help at the position. Antonio Bryant could replicate his phenominal 2008 season and Michael Clayton hasn't done anything significant in five years, it is about time to give Josh Freeman some help.

43. Miami Dolphins: Daryl Washington, ILB, TCU
After hopefully solving their receiver problem the Dolphins address their LB situation by planning for the future. Long time league starter, Akin Ayodele, isn't getting any younger and Channing Crowder is coming off an injury.

44. New England Patriots (from Jacksonville): Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn State
Off field issues will hurt his draft stock, but falling to the patriots will only be beneficial seeing how Belichick can make almost any player look great (see Tully Banta-Cain). Great news is this pick fits one of the Patriots biggest needs.

45. Denver Broncos: Jeremy Williams, WR, Tulane
After passing on Bryant the Broncos will need to address their receiving core by giving Royal an additional teammate besides Brandon Stokley. After dealing with prima-dona, last name Marshall, there is no way they pick Arrelious Benn. LaFell is another option but Williams offers more to the table with his multidimensional play, something McDaniels may love.

46. New York Giants: Nate Allen, S, South Florida
Watching the Giants defensive backs try to cover wide-receivers made me sick to my stomach. Allen has good size and a knack for making interceptions, anything right now would be an upgrade over what the Giants made us suffer through last year.

47. New England Patriots: Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest
Another need for the patriots solved? Check. The Patriots defense has clearly dropped off from being Super Bowl caliber but with addition of Bowman and Ghee the future could be bright. Ghee is a good corner who could probably come in and automatic become their nickle corner if not starter.

48. Carolina Panthers: Ricky Sapp, DE/OLB, Clemson
Julius Peppers seems destined to leave, after trading to draft Everett Brown they will look to fill the void on the other side of the line. Sapp might be a little undersized to play DE but he is a great pass-rushing specialist which would help after losing their best pass-rusher and has the versatility to adjust to a 3-4 defense and play OLB.
