Vincent chimes in this afternoon with his thoughts as to who will will go where, tonight in round 2.Rnd 2 Pick 33: Jaguars- Robert Woods WR USC. Rather than draft a QB, Jacksonville needs to draft good offensive players.
Rnd2 Pick 34: 49ers- Jamar Taylor CB Boise State. 49ers considered Revis, considered Charles Woodson. Cheaper and better to draft at this point.
Rnd 2 Pick 35: Eagles- Jesse Williams DT Alabama. Great interior run defender to anchor the d-line.
Rnd2 Pick 36: Lions – Menelik Watson OT Florida State. Got pass rusher in 1st round, and starting tackle in 2nd.
Rnd 2 Pick 37: Bengals – Eddie Lacy RB Alabama. Provides stability in running game. Upgrade over Green-Ellis.
Rnd 2 Pick 38: Cardinals – Matt Barkley QB USC. Cards get legit QB to groom behind Palmer experiment. No tackle worth taking here.
Rnd 2 Pick 39: Jets – Geno Smith QB WV. Other positions of need, but if he’s still available Jets take him over Nassib. He’s a top 10 talent, and will cause further QB controversy.
Rnd 2 Pick 40: Titans – Cornellius Carredine DE Florida State. NFL ready defensive end.
Rnd 2 Pick 41: Bills – Terron Armstead OT Arkansas Pinebluff. The workout wonder finds home on Bills line.
Rnd 2 Pick 42: Raiders – Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse. A year to groom him, second year to compete as starter.
Rnd 2 Pick 43: Bucs – Kevin Minter ILB LSU. Will be athletic tackling machine.
Rnd 2 Pick 44: Panthers – David Amerson NC State. Tall CB to play either CB or FS (both positions of need). In state, developing, and hard working.
Rnd 2 Pick 45: Chargers- Monti Te’o ILB Notre Dame. Te’o will fit in well in a laid back city. He can focus on football and get back to being a good middle linebacker.
Rnd 2 Pick 46: Bills – Arthur Brown OLB Kansas State. Further help to the linebacking corps. Could move indside.
Rnd 2 Pick 47: Cowboys – Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida. Fills a need, also a quality player. Could start.
Rnd 2 Pick 48: Steelers – Keenan Allen WR Cal. Solid, but not spectacular WR. More Hines Ward than Mike Wallace.
Rnd 2 Pick 49: Giants – Johnthan Banks CB Mississippi State. Not a lot of needs, he could see playing time.
Rnd 2 Pick 50: Bears- Markus Wheaton WR Oregon State. Fills Johnny Knox’s shoes. Complimentary player to Alshon Jeffrey, and Brandon Marshall.
Rnd 2 Pick 51: Redskins- Phillip Thomas FS Fresno State. Good FS, active, and caused 13 turnovers in 2012.
Rnd 2 Pick 52: Patriots – Justin Hunter WR Tennessee. Tall, fast vertical threat, to play Randy Moss opposite Amendola’s Wes Welker. 6’4″ with 4.3 speed.
Rnd 2 Pick 53: Bengals – DJ Swearinger S South Carolina. Need to improve the safety play, and remove Taylor Mays.
Rnd 2 Pick 54: Dolphins- Dwayne Gratz CB UConn. Someone to fill a starting CB position.
Rnd 2 Pick 55: Packers- Montee Ball RB Wisconsin. Fan favorite, fills need. A reach, but still makes sense.
Rnd 2 Pick 56: Seahawks – Johnathan Hankins DT Ohio State. Fills a need, and a late 1st round type talent.
Rnd 2 Pick 57: Texans – Margus Hunt DE SMU. Can fill the Mario Williams role.
Rnd 2 Pick 58: Broncos – Sam Montgomery DE/LB LSU. Can fit in the front 7 rotation at several spots.
Rnd 2 Pick 59: Patriots – Quinton Patton WR Louisiana Tech. Provides the always pass friendly Pats offense with more weapons. More polished route runner, aggressive, competitive, and could be the steal  of the draft.
Rnd 2 Pick 60: Falcons- Zach Ertz TE Stanford. Falcons bring back Tony Gonzalez, but also get his replacement for 2014.
Rnd 2 Pick 61: 49ers – John Jenkins DT Georgia. The biggest of the mamouth DT’s. Will eat up space for 10 years.
Rnd 2 Pick 62: Ravens – There is no player to replace Ray Lewis. Best player available is Alex Okafor DE Texas. Another rush OLB to rotate in and eventually take over.

What? Another defensive lineman? Yep, that’s right, Mel Kiper believes that Rex Ryan, coach of the New York Jets will not address the offensive woes and select yet another defensive lineman in the 2013 NFL Draft.  The 6 foot 5 inch 245 pound product from LSU hasn’t had the college career that you would associate with a number nine pick, but his athleticism and speed has scouts impressed. Mingo, or KeKe as he’s often referred is a tall and lean defensive end, who’s build and athleticism are better suited to a stand up edge rushing linebacker than an every down defensive lineman. While its widely accepted Mingo wasn’t used in a way that played to his strengths during his college career, his explosiveness and length are a rare combination that is only seen in a select few players in the NFL. He plays with surprising strength for his thin build, and has the moves to beat lineman after they engage, often finding himself in the backfield with one on one opportunities for a big stop behind the line of scrimmage.

So how does this play into the Jets needs going forward? While Barkevious Mingo has rare athleticism and speed, he’s not an every down defensive lineman. With the emergence of Muhammad Wilkerson as a pro bowl caliber player, and Quinton Coples showing promise do the Jet’s really need another DL/LB hybrid when there are other areas of need? The New York Jets had the second ranked pass defense in the league in 2012, even with the loss of Darrelle Revis and not even a hint of a pass rush. Mingo would instantly improve the pass defense as his pass rushing skills will certainly cause headaches for opponents and open up more one on one opportunities for the talented playmakers on the interior line.

But is this the best option for the Jets? Mingo is far from an every down player and it’s likely he may never be one. The Jets have real need on the offensive side of the football, and the run defense, particularly linebacker play was awful throughout the season. With no playmakers on the outside the Jets struggled to throw the ball, as much a product of Mark Sanchez’s regression as the lack of talent. There are real needs that need to be addressed, and I believe wide receiver, offensive guard and linebacker are three of them that should be acknowledged before picking another defensive lineman, talented or not.

Below are some players that the Jets could pick in the number 9 spot to fill other areas of need.

Chance Warmack – OG Alabama

If the Jets take a chance on Warmack in the upcoming draft it could pay dividends well into the future. An elite talent that played in the SEC Warmack has dominant size at 320lbs and the strength to blow defenders off the line of scrimmage. At the moment Mel Kiper has him being taken with the 7^th pick by the Arizona Cardinals, but the Cards are notoriously unpredictable when it comes to draft day, and paying a guard #7 money isn’t a common practice. He does tend to come high out of his stance, and can be caught out of position if he loses leverage to a shorter, quicker defender. The addition of Warmack would instantly bolster the Jets offensive line, helping this unit return to the dominance it had just a few years ago.

Bottom Line – A top talent who will be a solid, yet quiet contributor for the better part of a decade.

Manti Te’o – LB Notre Dame

Manti Te’o was a big time player throughout his college career at Notre Dame, and I’m talking strictly on the playing field. Te’o is a smart player who can stuff the run and bang heads with lineman and fullbacks on an every down basis. Manti plays impressively in pass coverage, with good instincts and the ability to play the ball in the air. Mel Kiper has Buffalo taking Manti with the 8^th pick in the draft, directly in front of the New York Jets.  Although the recent situation in his personnel life and perceived lack of speed may allow him to fall passed that spot and directly into the hands of Rex Ryan and the Jets. His 40 yard dash time at the upcoming combine will likely have the biggest impact on the draft position of Te’o in 2013.

Bottom Line – An immediate upgrade to the run defense. Must be accounted for in blocking schemes and plays the pass better than expected. Manti Te’o Will be a solid contributor in the league for many years to come.

Cordarelle Patterson – Wide Receiver Tennessee

The Tennessee Volunteers receiver Cordarelle Patterson is slated to be picked number twelve by the Miami Dolphins, after the Jets pick at number nine. At 6 foot 3 inches tall Patterson is a big target with solid hands and better than expected route running ability. Tennessee was once Wide Receiver U, and Patterson could live up to that expectation. While is speed is thought to be less than elite, a good performance in the 40 yard dash at the combine could boost his draft stock and lead to being selected by the Jets with the ninth pick. He would be an immediate upgrade over anyone besides Santonio Holmes.

Bottom Line – A slightly less physical, slightly quicker Anquan Boldin type receiver. Ready to play and contribute now, but may never exceed being a number two receiver.
