2012 NFL Mock Draft: Complete Guide to Second Round of NFL Draft

There may not be as much hype surrounding the second round of the NFL Draft as the first, but make no mistake: championships can be won with great drafting beyond the opening round.

Current or future Hall of Famers like Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary, Thurman Thomas, Brett Favre and many more were second rounders, so there is plenty of value to be had.

It's only fitting that the second round has had its own spotlight over the past few years, in a way, as it will kick off tonight's prime-time draft coverage. There were certainly plenty of future stars selected yesterday, but there could be almost as many taken in the second round.

Here is your complete guide to tonight's second round, including every trade that has been made and a full mock draft as well.

33. St. Louis Rams: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

Sam Bradford won't succeed with defenders in his face every play.

34. Indianapolis Colts: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford

Andrew Luck needs weapons, so he would love to have his collegiate teammate on board.

35. Baltimore Ravens (via MIN): Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama

Following his Defensive Player of the Game performance in the National Championship Game, most considered Alabama pass rusher Courtney Upshaw to be a sure-fire first rounder. For whatever reason, though, Upshaw fell out of the first round and into the welcoming arms of the Baltimore Ravens. After losing Jarret Johnson in free agency, the Ravens could really use a new rush linebacker.

Baltimore seemingly always finds a way to make the most of its young defensive players, so this would be an ideal landing spot for Upshaw. With so many other great defenders around him such as Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata, Upshaw will be able to do his thing without the pressure of the offense focusing on him.

36. Denver Broncos (via TB): Cordy Glenn, OT/OG, Georgia

Peyton Manning can't afford to take many hits, and Glenn should prevent plenty.

37. Cleveland Browns: Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech

New quarterback Brandon Weeden will love Hill's deep-threat ability.

38. Jacksonville Jaguars: Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall

He may be better suited to a 3-4, but Curry can excel as a 4-3 end.

39. St. Louis Rams: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU

Randle will have to step in right away and be a reliable target for Sam Bradford.

40. Carolina Panthers: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State

Worthy will go a long way in helping to improve Carolina's terrible run defense.

41. Buffalo Bills: Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska

He's on the small side, but David can be a dynamic playmaker in a 4-3.

42. Miami Dolphins: Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

Following an outstanding sophomore season, it looked as if South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery would be among the best pass catchers in the draft whenever he decided to declare. Jeffery's production was shockingly cut in half as a sophomore, though, and that led to questions about whether he was a one-year wonder and about whether he has a work ethic that warrants him being taken early.

Those concerns were enough to drop him this far, but the Miami Dolphins won't be able to pass him up. After trading wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears, the Dolphins have absolutely nothing at receiver. That is a major issue since they used their first rounder on Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill. They will put him in a position to succeed by taking Jeffery and hoping his potential is realized.

43. Seattle Seahawks: Mychal Kendricks, LB, California

The Seahawks are thin at linebacker and won't hesitate to nab Kendricks.

44. Kansas City Chiefs: Amini Silatolu, OT/OG, Midwestern State

It certainly wouldn't hurt the Chiefs to have a utility lineman like Silatolu in the fold.

45. St. Louis Rams (via DAL): Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina

The Rams get yet another first-round talent here in the second.

46. Philadelphia Eagles: Bobby Wagner, LB, Utah State

Philly may just be a couple quality linebacker away from true contention.

47. New York Jets: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

Wayne Hunter became a liability at right tackle, so Adams should be the pick.

48. New England Patriots: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

The possible reward far outweighs the risk for the Patriots with this pick.

49. San Diego Chargers: Bobby Massie, OT, Ole Miss

Philip Rivers needs way more time to throw and develop plays this season.

50. Chicago Bears: Jeff Allen, OT, Illinois

The Bears could use three or four linemen, but Allen is a solid start.

51. Philadelphia Eagles: Trumaine Johnson, CB, Montana

Johnson can be a major contributor right away as a nickel corner and backup safety.

52. Tennessee Titans: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

Following this past college football season, Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still was considered the best at his position by most. He was eventually surpassed by Fletcher Cox, Dontari Poe, Michael Brockers and others, though, and that has forced him into the second round. Luckily, the Tennessee Titans shouldn't let him slide any further than No. 52.

The Titans have lost a lot of quality defensive tackles over the past few years such as Albert Haynesworth and now Jason Jones, so they will replenish the middle of their defense with Still. Not only is Still a big-bodied player who is tough to run on, but he can penetrate and get into the backfield as well, so he possesses a skill set the Titans will love.

53. Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State

Quick should replace Jerome Simpson at receiver without all the headaches.

54. Detroit Lions: Jayron Hosley, CB, Virginia Tech

Despite a positive drug test, the Lions will bank on Hosley's talent being worth this pick.

55. Atlanta Falcons: Kelechi Osemele, OT/OG, Iowa State

Osemele should serve as a quality blocker for Matt Ryan for years to come.

56. Pittsburgh Steelers: Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington

It may be a bit of a reach, but the Steelers can't count on Casey Hampton anymore.

57. Denver Broncos: Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson

The Broncos need more beef up the middle to clamp down opposing running games.

58. Houston Texans: Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State

Sanders may step in and play immediately on Houston's depleted offensive line.

59. Green Bay Packers: Kendall Reyes, DL, Connecticut

A guy like Reyes would open up a lot of room for Clay Matthews and Nick Perry.

60. Baltimore Ravens: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin

He may not play right away, but Konz can learn a lot from Matt Birk before starting next season.

61. San Francisco 49ers: Mitchell Schwartz, OT, California

The 49ers address perhaps the only true need on their roster with a right tackle here.

62. New England Patriots: Jared Crick, DL, Nebraska

New England adds yet another warm body to its defensive line rotation.

63. New York Giants: Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson

Eli Manning will be very happy to have another offensive weapon in the form of Allen.
