NFL Mock Draft
Round 2
Round 2 - Pick 33 Ladd McConkey WR Georgia • 6'0" / 185 lbs
After two trade backs to get totally out of Round 1... the Bills go with a player mocked to them frequently at No. 28. Instant, versatile boost to the offense with Ladd McConkey. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 34 Adonai Mitchell WR Texas • 6'4" / 196 lbs
After snagging Drake Maye in Round 1, the Patriots get a large, gifted route-runner in AD Mitchell. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 35 Chris Braswell EDGE Alabama • 6'3" / 255 lbs
The Cardinals need more rushing capabilities on their defense, and Chris Braswell is a long, powerful rusher who kind of feels like he's in his own second tier at the edge-rusher spot in this class. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 36 Kingsley Suamataia OT BYU • 6'6" / 325 lbs
The receivers will come for Jayden Daniels, but with two off the board in the first few selections, the Commanders go with a high-upside blocker in Kingsley Suamataia to eventually protect the edge. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 37 Keon Coleman WR Florida State • 6'4" / 215 lbs
Keon Coleman is a young wideout who plays a tick faster than his timed speed and flashes acrobatic catch skill. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 38 Marshawn Kneeland DL Western Michigan • 6'3" / 275 lbs
Marshawn Kneeland is a work in progress but possesses elite physical tools at the edge-rusher spot. The Titans need more threatening outside rushers. | |||||||
From New York Giants Round 2 - Pick 39 Jackson Powers-Johnson IOL Oregon • 6'3" / 320 lbs
JPJ can start at guard and eventually kick inside to center in Carolina. While the Panthers did make a concerted effort to shore up the blocking unit in front of Bryce Young this offseason, it's never a bad idea to add more offensive line reinforcements for a young quarterback. | |||||||
From Chicago Bears Round 2 - Pick 40 Max Melton CB Rutgers • 6'0" / 190 lbs
Max Melton has been a fast riser during the pre-draft process because of how awesomely he tested, and the Commanders do have some needs in the secondary. | |||||||
From New York Jets Round 2 - Pick 41 Payton Wilson LB NC State • 6'4" / 230 lbs
Payton WIlson is a plug-and-play inside linebacker. If he stays healthy, he could become one of the best overall defenders from this class. | |||||||
From Minnesota Vikings Round 2 - Pick 42 Edgerrin Cooper LB Texas A&M • 6'3" / 230 lbs
Mini off-ball linebacker run here in Round 2, as DeMeco Ryans gets a young and athletic second-level defender in Edgerrin Cooper to fill the void left by Blake Cashman leaving in free agency. | |||||||
Round 2- Pick 43 Adisa Isaac EDGE Penn State • 6'4" / 254 lbs
Chop Robinson's edge-rusher mate at Penn State is, unsurprisingly, a freaky specimen around the corner, too. This fills a need. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 44 Kiran Amegadjie OT Yale • 6'5" / 326 lbs
After surprisingly going Brock Bowers in Round 1, the Raiders address a more immediate need in Round 2 with the versatile Kiran Amegadjie. | |||||||
From Denver Broncos Round 2 - Pick 45 Ja'Lynn Polk WR Washington • 6'2" / 204 lbs
The Saints have to give Derek Carr more weapons, and Ja'Lynn Polk is a do-everything type out wide. Align him anywhere, too. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 46 T.J. Tampa CB Iowa State • 6'2" / 200 lbs
The Colts have to bring in more cornerback talent to the secondary room, and T.J. Tampa fits the profile of the longer cornerbacks Chris Ballard normally likes. Great tackler, too. | |||||||
From Seattle Seahawks Round 2 - Pick 47 Christian Haynes IOL Connecticut • 6'2" / 313 lbs
Nore blocking reinforcement is needed for Daniel Jones, and Christian Haynes is probably the best pure guard in the class. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 48 Tyler Nubin S Minnesota • 6'2" / 210 lbs
The Jaguars make Tyler Nubin the first traditional safety off the board. He was a ball magnet at Minnesota and can step into a prominent role relatively early in his NFL career. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 49 Johnny Newton DL Illinois • 6'2" / 295 lbs
Many had Johnny Newton to the Bengals in Round 1. Given how good Newton is attacking up the field, this is tremendous value. | |||||||
From New Orleans Saints Round 2 - Pick 50 Roman Wilson WR Michigan • 6'0" / 192 lbs
Even after the A.J. Brown extension, the Eagles continue to keep the shelves stocked for Jalen Hurts. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 51 Kool-Aid McKinstry CB Alabama • 6'1" / 195 lbs
The Steelers are happy to stop McKinstry's fall here. He and Joey Porter Jr. would formulate an awesome boundary corner tandem in Pittsburgh. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 52 Ben Sinnott TE Kansas State • 6'4" / 247 lbs
Sinnott's an athletic specimen with serious receiving chops to give Matthew Stafford another weapon over the middle. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 53 Cooper DeJean CB Iowa • 6'1" / 207 lbs
Quality players seem to fall into Roseman's lap, and it happens again with DeJean who can play any secondary position. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 54 Patrick Paul OT Houston • 6'7" / 315 lbs
The Browns continue to invest in their offensive line with Paul, who's around the same size as last year's rookie Dawand Jones at tackle. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 55 Ja'Tavion Sanders TE Texas • 6'4" / 243 lbs
The Dolphins had a sleek, pass-catching tight end to the loaded skill-position grouping already residing in Miami. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 56 Zach Frazier IOL West Virginia • 6'3" / 310 lbs
More offensive line reinforcement for the Cowboys with the stellar battling center from West Virginia. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 57 Malachi Corley WR Western Kentucky • 5'11" / 210 lbs
The Buccaneers get a wideout with a running back mentality with the ball in his hands in Corley. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 58 Jonathon Brooks RB Texas • 6'0" / 207 lbs
Even with Josh Jacobs in the mix, the Packers reinvest in the running back position with one of the most talented rushers in the class, who probably would've been picked earlier than this had he not torn his ACL in 2023. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 59 Mason McCormick IOL S. Dakota St. • 6'5" / 315 lbs
As a sixth-year player at South Dakota State, McCormick enters the NFL with a high floor, and he can be the eventual Shaq Mason replacement at guard. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 60 Braden Fiske DL Florida State • 6'5" / 297 lbs
Fiske is an older prospect with short arms. Everything else about his game indicates he's going to be a star in the NFL. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 61 Jaden Hicks S Washington State • 6'3" / 212 lbs
Hicks is a large enforcer at safety with plus coverage skills. Awesome find here late in Round 2 for Detroit. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 62 Roger Rosengarten OT Washington • 6'6" / 300 lbs
The Ravens add to the offensive line with a versatile plus athlete who can play tackle or guard. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 63 Christian Jones OT Texas • 6'6" / 321 lbs
The 49ers need depth on the offensive line and Jones has plenty of upside because of his reasonable movement skills and crazy-long reach. | |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 64 Delmar Glaze OT Maryland • 6'5" / 328 lbs
The Chiefs address the offensive tackle spot with a fluid, lengthy prospect with plus pass-protection skills. |
