Picture

33. Carlos Hyde - RB - Ohio State

With the loss of Ben Tate to the Browns in the off-season, the Texans need a reliable backup to the injury-prone Arian Foster. 
Picture

34. Ra'Shede Hageman - DT - Minnesota

The Redskins defense was atrocious last year due to injuries everywhere, and they look to beef up their D-line with the addition of Hageman.
Picture

35. Derek Carr - QB - Fresno State

The Browns patiently wait for their QB who pulls a Geno Smith and makes it to the second round before hearing his name called. As a second round pick the Browns won't feel pressured to play him right away as he can sit behind Hoyer to start the season and the Browns can evaluate their situation around the midpoint of the season.
Picture

36. AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS - TE - WASHINGTON

The Raiders don't have a legit TE on the roster right now and they're going to need a reliable, dynamic TE to help Matt Schaub and the passing game in Oakland.
Picture

37. Timmy JERNIGAN - DT - Florida State

TRADE - The Texans didn't draft defensive help in the first round, but come back around and get some beef on the D-line here with the second round pick they picked up from the Falcons.
Picture

38. JOEL BITONIO - T - NEVADA

The Bucs lost Donald Penn in free agency and need offensive line help desperately. Bitonio can play RG or RT for the Bucs and give new QB Josh McCown some time to throw to his new target Mike Evans.
Picture

39. KELVIN BENJAMIN - WR - FLorida state

FINALLY! Tom Brady is somewhere celebrating with Giselle as he has his big WR again. 
Picture

40. JASON VERETT - CB - TCU

The Vikings are old in the secondary and need to play against Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford and Jay Cutler twice a year so they can use all the help they can get!
Picture

41. JACE AMARO - TE - TEXAS TECH

The Bills are fairly solid in most areas so they opt for the top player on their board and take Amaro who can help out the lackluster passing game of the Bills.
Picture

42. STEPHON TUITT - DE - NOTRE DAME

The Titans go best player available here in the second round and get a steal in Tuitt. He's big and can be a starter for the Titans from day one.
Picture

43. Mike Evans - WR - Texas A&M

I wouldn't be surprised to see Evans go in the top 10, but in this scenario he falls to #11 and is a perfect fit for the Titans who lost volatile Kenny Britt this off-season. Somewhere Jake Locker is smiling.
Picture

44. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix - S - Alabama

The G-Men almost ALWAYS take a defensive lineman in a position like this, but I see them filling a need in their secondary with the best player on the board with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. 
Picture

45. Anthony Barr - LB - UCLA

I think Barr's relative lack of experience playing LB pushes him down a few picks, but his raw talent and athleticism still makes him a top 15 pick. In Chicago he'll help out an aging defense that struggled in 2013.
Picture

46. Kyle Fuller - CB - Virginia Tech

The Steelers could go a number of different directions here as for the first time in a long time they have numerous areas of need. I think they choose to get younger on defense and take Kyle Fuller at CB which is higher than most expect.
Picture

47. Timmy Jernigan - DT - Florida State

A lot of people thing the Cowboys are going to go with Aaron Donald here, but I think they are committed to getting bigger across the board and they go real big with DT Jernigan from FSU.
Picture

48. Jimmie Ward - S - Northern Illinois

The Ravens have a few needs and Safety is a big one. With the top two, in most people's minds, off the board the Ravens decide to take Ward here.
Picture

49. Marqise Lee - WR - USC

Some thought Lee was going to be a top 10 pick before the college football season, but he ends up at #18 to the WR-needy Jets.
Picture

50. Xavier Su'a-Filo - G - Washington

With the top tier tackles of the board, the Dolphins opt for the top Guard in the draft instead of reaching for the 4th best tackle. 
Picture

51.  Blake Bortles - QB - UCF

The Bortles slide stops at #20 where the Cardinals take him to be an understudy for Carson Palmer for a year or two. 
Picture

52. Jace Amaro - TE - Texas Tech

The Packers love tight ends and with the loss of Jermichael Finley this off-season they need to replace him and they do so with Jace Amaro.
Picture

53. Brandon Cooks - WR - Oregon St.

The perfect replacement for DeSean Jackson falls into the Eagles' lap with slot WR Brandon Cooks. He has great hands and quickness and will fit well into Chip Kelly's offense.
Picture

54. Odell Beckham Jr. - WR - LSU

The Chiefs haven't had a solid WR group in years and they try to bolster their offense with the addition of Beckham. 
Picture

55. Aaron Donald - DT - Pittsburgh

Most draft experts think Donald goes higher than this, but he's undersized for a DT or DE in the NFL and I think that hurts his stock at the end of the day. The Bengals take him here to fill in for the departure of Michael Johnson.
Picture

56. ZacK Martin - T - Notre Dame

A solid tackle/guard prospect in Martin is a good fit for San Diego who could use his versatility to help protect Phillip Rivers. 
Picture

57. Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Louisville

From potential #1 overall pick to the bottom of the first round. I'm not a huge fan of Bridgewater, but I like him better than Bortles. 
Picture

58. C.J. Mosley - LB - Alabama

I'm not a big Mosley fan personally, I feel like he'll be a decent pro, but never outstanding. That being said, the Saints have a need and take Mosley to play inside in their 3-4 defense.
Picture

59. Morgan Moses - T - Virginia

With the loss of numerous offensive linemen this off-season, the Panthers need to replace them to give Cam Newton time in the pocket. The 5th tackle goes in the first round to the Panthers.
Picture

60. Kelvin Benjamin - WR - Florida State

Tom Brady may trust Bill Belicheck, but I think he's fed up with the second-rate WR's the Patriots rolled out there in 2013. Benjamin comes in as a big target for Brady
Picture

61. Louis Nix III - DT - Notre Dame

The Niners are getting older up front and need to start replacing them with young talent. They take the massive Nix here who can play NT or DE in their 3-4 scheme.
Picture

62. Bradley Roby - CB - Ohio State

As a Buckeye fan, I think Roby is overrated in terms on NFL scouting as he got beaten time and time again for the Buckeyes. The Broncos need depth in their defensive backfield and Roby can help in this area.
Picture

63. Cyrus Kouandijo - T - Alabama

When you win the Super Bowl you probably don't have many needs and that's the case for the Seahawks. They do need some depth on the O-Line and Kouoandijo will fit in as a mauling RT for the Champs. 
Picture

64. CALVIN PRYOR - S - LOUISVILLE

The Rams aren't saying Ha Ha here as they may have wanted Clinton-Dix who goes one pick earlier. Instead they opt for Safety Calvin Pryor who some may think is better than Clinton-Dix.
