ROUND TWO

33. Detroit Lions: Brian Cushing, Outside Linebacker, USC

Detroit needs help everywhere. Paris Lenon has to go.

 

34. St. Louis Rams: Patrick Chung, Safety, Oregon

Todd Johnson can't be the starter at strong safety next season.

 

35. Kansas City Chiefs: Alex Mack, Center, California

A first-round prospect drops to the Chiefs, who could really use him.

 

36. Seattle Seahawks: Rashad Johnson, Safety, Alabama

Cincinnati needs a better pass rush.

Oakland needs help at wide receiver badly.

 

40. Jacksonville Jaguars: Phil Loadholt, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma

Jacksonville needs serious depth on the offensive line.

 

41. Green Bay Packers: Trevard Lindley, Cornerback, Kentucky

Al Harris could be leaving for another team.

Buffalo needs help with their interior blocking.

 

44. Denver Broncos: Shonn Greene, Running Back, Iowa

Shonn Greene would go great with the Denver Broncos.

Yeremiah Bell is bad. Miami needs a secondary change.

 

46. New York Giants (from New Orleans): Derrick Williams, Wide Receiver, Penn State

Plaxico Burress won't be back next year. New York will need a No. 1 receiver.

50. Chicago Bears: Fenuki Toupu, Offensive Tackle, Oregon

Chicago needs a tackle with John Tait turning 34 very soon.

 

51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Sen'Derrick Marks, Defensive Tackle, Auburn

Tampa Bay will have to build the defense up big since Monte Kiffin left.

 

52. Dallas Cowboys: Mike Mickens, Cornerback, Cincinnati

Dallas' corners are 33 and 31, respectively.

 

53. Arizona Cardinals: Sam Young, Offensive Tackle, Notre Dame

Arizona only averaged 3.5 yards per carry this year.

More blocking for the Eagles.

 

55. Minnesota Vikings: Juaquin Iglesias, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma

56. New England Patriots: Larry English, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, N. Illinois

New England needs to get younger at linebacker.

A talented tight end and another weapon for Matt Ryan.

 

58. Miami Dolphins: Ron Brace, Nose Tackle, Boston College

Jason Ferguson is 34 years old.

Depth on the defensive line, which never hurts.

The hopeful replacement of Kris Jenkins.

Deshea Townsend will be 34 by the time the season begins.
