These are the selections in the second round of the NFL Draft, complete with opinion and grades:
33. Jacksonville Jaguars - Johnathan Cyprien, S, Florida International
The Jags get a fast, physical ball hawk whose work ethic and determination set him apart. Grade A
34. Tennessee Titans (from San Francisco) - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Hunter is a big, speedy wideout with plenty to learn about the ball catching business. Grade B
35. Philadelphia Eagles - Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Big kid, very raw as he started just one year at Stanford - fast and powerful Gronk clone. Grade B+
36. Detroit Lions - Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State
A bit of a surprise that Slay went before his partner Johnthan Banks. Grade B-
37. Cincinnati Bengals - Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
Curious selection with Lacy still on the board. Grade C
38. San Diego Chargers - Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
Chargers get an all-out football player who will roam their middle for years. Grade B+
39. New York Jets - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Say bye-bye to Sanchise... Grade B
40. San Francisco 49ers - Cornellious Carradine, DE, Florida State
Coming off a severely injured knee, id he all the way back? His 40 times says so. Grade B
41. Buffalo Bills - Robert Woods, WR, USC
Woods is a player that many Patriots fans hoped to see come to Foxboro, but no such luck. Grade B
42. Oakland Raiders - Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State
Big time right tackle, road grader. Excellent pick by Oakland. Grade B+
43. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Tampa had to be very excited to see Banks fall to 43. Grade B+
44. Carolina Panthers - Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
Wears down easily, hopefully they can get him in shape. Grade C
45. Arizona Cardinals - Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Excellent find in the 2nd round, he will be a great player in that defense. Grade A-
46. Buffalo Bills - Kiko Alonzo, ILB, Oregon
Off-field stuff aside, a relentless motor and violent striker. Grade B
47. Dallas Cowboys - Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego State
The Cowboys just pulled in an awesome player up the seam. Grade A-
48. Pittsburgh Steelers - Le'Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State
Great pick by the Steelers. Best RB in the draft on my board. Grade A+
49. New York Giants - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
Big time space eater and can get after the QB. Nice pick. Grade B
50. Chicago Bears - Jonathan Bostic, ILB, Florida
And there's the inside linebacker that I thought was coming in the 1st round. Grade B+
51. Washington Redskins - David Amerson, CB, North Carolina State
Another guy on my big board. Can be burned but is also a ball hawk. Grade B+
52. New England Patriots - Jaime Collins, OLB, Southern Miss
Had us taking a linebacker here, but it supposed to be Greene. I never would have guessed it. Grade C
53. Cicinnati Bengals - Margus Hunt, DE, SMU
Raw prospect, monsterously big and surprisingly fast. Nice pick. Grade B
54. Miami Dolphins - Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State
Disappointed that Miami got Taylor. He will be a difference maker. Grade A
55. San Francisco 49ers - Vance McDonald, TE, Rice
With Kelce still on the board, not sure what they saw in McDonald. Grade C
56. Baltimore Ravens - Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas State
57. Houston Texans - D.J. Swearinger, SS, South Carolina
58. Denver Broncos - Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
59. New England Patriots - Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall
60. Atlanta Falcons - Robert Alford, CB, S. E. Louisiana
