2011 NFL Mock Draft: Predictions for Rounds 2 and 3

Matt MillerApr 29, 2011

The first round of the 2011 NFL Draft is in the books. Trades were made, Jake Locker and James Carpenter shocked us all, and now it's time to do it all over again, times two.

Before the second and third rounds kick off tonight, we are taking one final look at who should be on the board, what needs teams still have to fill and how the trades have affected the draft board.

Keep it close to B/R for all your draft needs today and throughout the next week.

33. New England Patriots

Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois

The Patriots are likely to trade away this selection that they received in a draft-day deal with the Panthers last year.

The Pats will be able to field calls all day today from various teams hoping to trade up and select Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick or Ryan Mallett.

By the time the draft starts tonight, we think New England will have made a trade, but if not, we love the selection of Leshoure for them.

He's a big, three-down back who can control the game between the tackles. The Patriots do not have that right now.


Previous Selection: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado

34. Buffalo Bills

Akeem Ayers, LB, UCLA

The Bills continue their defensive focus in this draft and grab the best available linebacker. Ayers will be a great complement opposite Shawn Merriman and behind Marcell Dareus.

Ayers had top 20 talent, so it's a bit surprising to see him still on the board.

Previous Selection: Marcell Dareus, DE, Alabama

35. Cincinnati Bengals

Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson

The Bengals bypassed their biggest need (defensive end) in Round 1 and grabbed the best player on the board with A.J. Green.

In Round 2, they cannot look past Da'Quan Bowers.

Bowers could have been a top five pick if he had been healthy. Knee injuries and concerns over long-term effects have kept Bowers on the board into Day 2.

The Bengals end his slide.


Previous Selection: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia

Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame

The Browns know the importance of a tight end. In fact, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe will announce this pick.

Rudolph has first-round talent if he can stay healthy.

Justin Houston, DE, Georgia

Houston was thought to have late first-round talent before it was revealed he failed a drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Browns may be willing to overlook this, or work with the issue, to get a pass rusher like Justin Houston.

Previous Selection: Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor

Jabaal Sheard, OLB, Pitt

The Cardinals found their shutdown corner to line up opposite Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with Patrick Peterson, but in doing so they missed out on the best outside linebackers on the board.

In Round 2, the Cardinals must strike fast to get a pass rusher off the edge.

We firmly believe the Cardinals plan to trade for Kevin Kolb or sign Marc Bulger once free agency begins. I do not expect to see them draft a quarterback.

Previous Selection: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU

39. Tennessee Titans

Martez Wilson, ILB, Illinois


The Titans found their franchise quarterback, they hope, in Round 1. The biggest need on this team remains at inside linebacker, where Stephen Tulloch will enter free agency.

The Titans might also look at defensive tackle or wide receiver here, but we love the value of Martez Wilson in the middle of their defense.

Previous Selection: Jake Locker, QB, Washington

40. Dallas Cowboys

Aaron Williams, CB, Texas

The Cowboys passed on Prince Amukamara in the first round, instead grabbing a right tackle in Tyron Smith.

Dallas needed help at right tackle, and we liked the pick, but they have to focus on improving the secondary in Round 2.

Williams is a big, athletic cover man. He'll be an instant contributor in Dallas.

Previous Selection: Tyron Smith, OT, USC

Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada

The Redskins traded back in Round 1, allowing the Jaguars to draft Blaine Gabbert with pick No. 10. In Round 2, we believe Mike Shanahan will move to draft his replacement for Donovan McNabb.

Kaepernick could have been a late first-rounder on our board. He's mobile, has a cannon of an arm and is very coachable. He seems like a perfect Shanahan quarterback.

Previous Selection: Ryan Kerrigan, OLB, Purdue

Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona

The Texans made a questionable selection in the first round when they added J.J. Watt to their defensive end rotation with pick No. 11.

Hopefully Round 2 fills a need in a starting role.

Brooks Reed is a promising edge-rushing prospect. We like his talents and find early Round 2 to be a better value for him.

previous Selection: J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin

43. Minnesota Vikings

Bruce Carter, OLB, UNC

The Christian Ponder era can officially begin in Minnesota. The Vikings believe Ponder can play well enough in Year 1 to get them close to the playoffs, if not in them.

To compete with a rookie quarterback, the Vikes must get better on defense. Chad Greenway is back at one outside linebacker position, but the team could use an upgrade over Ben Leber at the other.

Bruce Carter has top 15 talent, but an ACL injury pushed him down the boards.

Previous Selection: Christian Ponder, QB, FSU

Brandon Harris, CB, Miami (FL)

The Lions made a scary pick by adding Nick Fairley to play next to Ndamukong Suh in the first round. The defensive line will be very good in Detroit, but who is going to cover the opposing receivers?

Brandon Harris is a smart pick in Round 2. He has great value and could play as a rookie in this scheme.

Previous Selection: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn

45. San Francisco 49ers

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 01:  Quarterback Andy Dalton #14 and linebacker Tank Carder #43 of the TCU Horned Frogs celebrate with the Rose Bowl Championship Trophy after defeating the Wisconsin Badgers 21-19 in the 97th Rose Bowl game on January 1, 2011 in Pa

Andy Dalton, QB, TCU

The 49ers made a bit of a reach in Round 1 when they drafted outside linebacker Aldon Smith No. 7 overall. In doing this they also bypassed their biggest need at quarterback.

By passing on top players Blaine Gabbert and Jake Locker with pick No. 7, it would seem the 49ers think they can get their guy in Round 2.

While the 49ers may need to move up to draft Dalton, we think this will be their pick.

Previous Selection: Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri

Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State

The Broncos use their first of two second-round picks to draft the position most felt they would target in Round 1: defensive tackle.

Stephen Paea is a strong, one-technique style tackle who will be able to draw double teams and open up the outside pass rush.

Previous Selection: Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M

Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech

The Rams are happy to find a legitimate running back on the board in Round 2. The team hopes to find someone to take the pressure off starter Steven Jackson. Williams is the right man for the job.

Benjamin Ijalana, OG, Villanova

The Raiders had no first-round pick due to the trade to acquire Richard Seymour from the Patriots.

In Round 2, with their first pick the Raiders must address the offensive line.

The team cut Robert Gallery and needs an upgrade at both guard positions.

49. Washington Redskins (from Jaguars)

Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky

The Redskins have their franchise quarterback, now they must add targets around him.

The offense in D.C. was terrible last year and play makers are needed at almost every position.

Randall Cobb brings value as a receiver and punt returner and gives this offense a true difference maker.

Rodney Hudson, OC, FSU

The Buccaneers may not be able to re-sign center Jeff Faine, or they may not want to after injuries have plagued his career lately. Either way, the interior of the offensive line is a must draft for the Bucs in Round 2.

Hudson can play left guard, center or right guard without losing a step.

Orlando Franklin, OT, Miami (FL)

The Giants grabbed the best player available in Round 1 when Prince Amukamara fell to them. In Round 2 they will focus on their needs along the offensive line by adding a versatile guard/tackle prospect in Franklin.

Jurrell Casey, DT, USC

The Colts draft plans should follow a predictable pattern in Rounds 2 and 3: defensive tackle and offensive line.

Casey has the look of a future Pro Bowler at defensive tackle. He will give the Colts a run-stuffing nose tackle to draw double teams and free Dwight Freeney and co. to make plays.

Curtis Brown, CB, Texas

The Eagles passed on troubled cover man Jimmy Smith in Round 1 and instead focused on needs along the offensive line.

Here they cannot pass on a cornerback with instant impact ability. Brown has the talent to see immediate playing time.

Previous Selection: Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor

55. Kansas City Chiefs

23 of 65

Kenrick Ellis, NT, Hampton

The Chiefs have been linked to every nose tackle in this draft at one time or another. Filling the hole in the middle of their defensive line has to be a priority.

Ellis has some red flags on his report from off-field issues, but we like his ability enough to pull the trigger here.

Previous Selections: WR Jon Baldwin

Stefen Wisniewski, OG, Penn State

As part of the trade that allowed the Saints to draft Mark Ingram, the Patriots move to replace Stephen Neal at right guard and insure themselves against Logan Mankins ever leaving.

Wisniewski can play all three interior offensive line positions and will be a fan-favorite in New England.

Ryan Mallet, QB, Arkansas

Seattle surprised everyone when they reached for tackle James Carpenter in Round 1. Their selection in Round 2 will be more predictable.

Mallett's offseason has been full of ups and downs based on off-field and character concerns. Seattle coach Pete Carroll is not afraid.

Titus Young, WR, Boise State

The Ravens confused us all in Round 1 by not making a pick as the clock ran out, then saying they had a trade in place with Chicago. We're still sorting that one out.

When the Ravens did make their pick, it was not surprising they had addressed their need at cornerback. Round 2 has to shift their focus to adding speed at wide receiver.

Young has DeSean Jackson-like skills but his lack of size (175 lbs) is keeping him down.

Marvin Austin, DE, North Carolina

The Patriots would love to find this first-round talent on the board as Round 2 ends.

Austin has amazing talent and agility for his size, but missing the 2010 season has hurt his stock.

DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma

The Chargers fill their two biggest needs in Round 1 and with their first selection in Round 2.

Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Troy

The Bears added a left tackle in Round 1, which may come away as the smartest pick in this entire draft. The strategy for Jerry Angelo and co. has to now fall on getting better at wide receiver.

Jernigan is a burner, but he is also a smart route-runner with good hands and starting ability.

Previous Selection: Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin

63. Pittsburgh Steelers

31 of 65

James Brewer, OT, Indiana

The Steelers would love to add a big body in Round 2 to protect Ben Roethlisberger. James Brewer is one of the biggest, most powerful blockers in this draft. He should be penciled in as the right tackle for 2011 and the future.

Allen Bailey, DE, Miami (FL)

The Packers might look at running backs here, but we feel they will grab the best player left on our board with Miami's defensive end Allen Bailey.

Bailey fills a need, as the Packers are likely to cut Johnny Jolly and lose Cullen Jenkins to free agency.

Drake Nevis, DT, LSU

The Bengals have wanted to add a quality defensive tackle for the past three years in the draft. Finally they get their chance as Nevis falls to the third round.

With Nevis, Carlos Dunlap and Da'Quan Bowers, the Bengals have a scary defensive line.

Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia

The Broncos have done a great job addressing needs with value picks throughout the draft. They do so again by grabbing a cornerback with starting talent in Round 3.

Dowling was a late first-round pick on our board, but he fell late in the year after a knee injury.

Luke Stocker, Tight End, Tennessee

The Bills offense needs a red-zone threat, and Ryan Fitzpatrick needs help in the middle of the field if he's going to survive as a starting quarterback.

Stocker has the size and speed to stretch the field and open things up for the Bills offense.

Dontay Moch, OLB, Nevada

The Chiefs traded back in Round 1 and picked up this selection where they can add a speed rusher off the edge.

Moch will be a great compliment on passing downs and eventually as a starter opposite Tamba Hali.

The Cowboys continue to cross off their needs with smart, patient draft picks.

Rahim Moore is the best free safety in this class and will be a rookie starter.

The Saints hope to continue getting younger on defense through the rest of the draft. Fresno's Chris Carter, a converted defensive end, will be an instant upgrade in passing situations and can eventually take over a starting outside linebacker position.

Brandon Burton, CB, Utah

The Texans are filling their draft needs, but in reverse order.

Most had cornerback and outside linebacker atop the Texans draft board, and they have filled these needs through the first three rounds.

Burton joins J.J. Watt and Brooks Reed to form a solid addition to the already talented roster.

Previous Selections: DE J.J. Watt, OLB Brooks Reed

74. New England Patriots (Minnesota Vikings)

42 of 65

Torrey Smith, WR, Maryland

Using the pick the Patriots received in exchange for Randy Moss, they look to replace him with a deep threat from Maryland.

Smith has elite speed but is a bit raw. Tom Brady and Wes Welker will have him running crisp routes in no time.

Shane Vereen, RB, Cal

The Lions hope to add a running back early in this draft who can share carries with Jahvid Best, who wore down during the end of his rookie season.

Vereen runs with power and aggression, especially in and around the red zone. He will be an instant upgrade in goal-line situations.

Jarvis Jenkins, DE, Clemson

After adding an outside linebacker and quarterback to the roster, the 49ers have few immediate needs to address.

One remaining need is at defensive end.

The team loves Justin Smith, but he is nearing the end of his career. Opposite Smith is free agent Ray McDonald. There is little depth behind the two starters.

D.J. Williams, TE, Arkansas

The offense in Tennessee is being rebuilt through the 2011 NFL Draft.

As the Titans replaced Vince Young with Jake Locker, they will replace Bo Scaife with D.J. Williams.

Williams is an athletic, versatile tight end who will be great in combination with Locker.

Austin Pettis, WR, Boise State

The Rams look to add a taller, outside receiver to an offense loaded with short wide receivers.

Pettis is 6'3" but moves like a slot receiver. He will be a favorite target of Sam Bradford in 2011 and beyond.

Jordan Todman, RB, UConn

Without a second-round pick, the Dolphins have been patiently waiting for a chance to grab their next running back.

Both Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are free agents, and even if one returns, the Dolphins must draft a young running back to share carries.

Previous Selection: OG Mike Pouncey

80. Jacksonville Jaguars

48 of 65

Davon House, CB, New Mexico State

The Jaguars have to be shocked to find a starting caliber cornerback on the board with pick No. 80 overall.

Chimdi Chekwa, CB, Ohio State

The Raiders will lose stud cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in free agency this year, a blow they may not be able to recover from.

One area that Al Davis does a pretty good job is evaluating and drafting cornerbacks. We trust him to make the right call in drafting the big, fast cover man from Ohio State.

Daniel Thomas, RB, Kansas State

The Giants could potentially lose starter Ahmad Bradshaw to free agency this year, making running back a very serious priority for New York in Round 3.

Thomas is a big, bruising back with the speed to make plays in the open field. He can make the first guy miss without any problems.

The Bucs will find themselves needing to replace Aqib Talib, who will be released once the league year begins again.

Kendall Hunter, RB, Oklahoma State

The Chiefs know they need to keep a running back around to share carries with Jamaal Charles. With Thomas Jones nearing the end of his career, drafting a running back who falls to them makes a lot of sense.

Hunter is a bruiser, but at only 5'7" he may not be able to carry the load full-time.

Clint Boling, OG, Georgia

Boling projects well as a right guard, or maybe even right tackle, in the NFL. The Colts drafted a left tackle in the first round, but need to fill holes at guard and right tackle throughout the draft.

Don't be surprised to see the Colts linked to quarterbacks starting in Round 3.

Quinton Carter, FS, Oklahoma

The Saints continue to add young, fast difference makers on defense.

Quinton Carter has the range to play free safety, but thumps like a strong safety or an outside linebacker.

Carter's speed will be a welcome addition in the NFC South, where the Saints have to see Matt Ryan and Josh Freeman twice per year.

Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh

The Falcons had no second-round pick after moving up to draft WR Julio Jones. They make the most of their third-round pick by grabbing a defensive end who has the potential to be a steal.

Romeus is a proven pass rusher, but injuries have pushed him down the board. Once healthy he could start.

Ricky Stanzi, QB, Iowa

The Patriots have filled almost every need on their already talented roster, so why not draft a quarterback here?

Tom Brady turns 34 this season, and while he may play six more years, it's unlikely. The Patriots long-term vision should be to draft a quarterback now to groom for two or three seasons behind Brady.

Niles Paul, WR, Nebraska

The Jets face an offseason where Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Brad Smith all enter free agency.

A best-case scenario allows them to re-sign two of them.

Paul is a game-changing wide receiver when he's on. If he's having a bad day, the drops start showing up.

Johnny Patrick, CB, Louisville

The late third-round pick of a cornerback is a must-have for the Steelers if they do not land one in Round 2.
