NFL Draft Tracker 2012: Latest Results for Round 2

The first round of the 2012 NFL draft was as wild as any first round in recent memory. Numerous trades were made, and several very surprising picks were made.

For a complete recap of the first round, B/R's Eric Ball has you covered.

The second round of the draft is officially in the books. Scroll down for a complete rundown of picks and analysis.

1 (33). St. Louis Rams: Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State

Bit of a surprise here considering some of the other wide receivers who are still on the board, but Brian Quick is a receiver with good size and good speed who definitely has the look of an NFL receiver.

Quick is a bit of a project, so the Rams may not see this pick pay immediate dividends. They went for a guy with upside instead of a guy who would have helped right away.

Then again, Quick may be an upgrade over the receivers the Rams used last year.

2 (34). Indianapolis Colts: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford

This is my surprised face. 

First the Colts drafted Andrew Luck, and now they've drafted Luck's tight end at Stanford. Coby Fleener is an athletic tight end with great speed who will immediately be able to help Indy's passing attack.

Great pick by the Colts, and a no-brainer. You saw this one coming a mile away.

3 (35). Baltimore Ravens (from Minnesota): Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

Another great pick. Courtney Upshaw could have gone in the first round to a team looking to take advantage of his pass-rush skills. Instead, those pass-rush skills are headed to Baltimore in the second round.

Look for the Ravens to use Upshaw as a specialist in his first season, not unlike the San Francisco 49ers used Aldon Smith last year. He'll learn a lot from Ray Lewis in the meantime.

Baltimore's defense just got better, which is a scary thought.

4 (36). Denver Broncos (from Tampa Bay): Derek Wolfe, DT, Cincinnati

The Broncos definitely needed a defensive tackle, but this probably isn't the guy most people expected them to go for.

Derek Wolfe is a pretty big dude at 6'5" and roughly 300 pounds, and the book on him is that he can get through the line of scrimmage and make plays in the backfield.

John Elway had nice things to say about him on Twitter:

"

Derek is a versatile DT who plays with great intensity! He can do a lot of things for us on the defensive line.

— John Elway (@johnelway) April 27, 2012"

It's a surprising pick, but Wolfe will help Denver's defense.

5 (37). Cleveland Browns: Mitchell Schwartz, OT, Cal

The Browns needed to find a right tackle, and that's exactly what they're getting in Mitchell Schwartz.

Schwartz is nothing if not experienced, as he started all four years he was at Cal. He doesn't have elite physical tools, but he's tough, and that counts for a lot.

The Browns are completely retooling their offense so far in the draft. Schwartz fits into that plan.

6 (38). Jacksonville Jaguars: Andre Branch, DE, Clemson

The Jaguars have struggled getting to the quarterback in the last couple seasons, so finding a pass-rusher in the draft was definitely a priority in the draft.

Andre Branch is a guy who could have gone in the first round. He'll step in and help Jacksonville's pass rush right away. Don't be surprised if this ends up being one of the better value picks of the 2012 draft class when all is said and done.

7 (39). St. Louis Rams (from Washington): Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

Finally, Janoris Jenkins off the board.

The Rams are rolling the dice with this pick. Jenkins' character issues have been well-documented, but new Rams coach Jeff Fisher clearly thinks he'll be able to handle Jenkins.

The good news is that the talent is there. If Jenkins keeps his nose clean, this pick will be a steal.

8 (40). Carolina Panthers: Amini Silatolu, OG, Midwestern State

Bit of a surprise here, as I didn't think the Panthers would go for an offensive guard this early. In fact, I didn't anticipate them going for a guard at all.

But there was talk of Amini Silatolu going in the first round, so this should be considered a solid value pick. Silatolu gives the Panthers offensive line depth, and that's something no team can ever get enough of.

As long as Silatolu keeps Cam Newton off his back, Panthers fans will love him.

9 (41). Buffalo Bills: Cordy Glenn, OT, Georgia

The Bills needed an offensive lineman, and they're getting one of the best with this pick.

Glenn's value is in his versatility. He can play at right tackle, and he can also play inside at guard. The question, as Mel Kiper pointed out on ESPN, is whether he can play left tackle.

Probably not, but his versatility will definitely come in handy at the other positions.

10 (42). Miami Dolphins: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

The Dolphins have a new quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, and now they have a new offensive tackle to help keep him safe.

Martin is another guy who could have been drafted in the first round. He kept Andrew Luck safe at Stanford, and he has the size and the talent to handle left tackle duties in the NFL.

Miami's O-line just got stronger.

11 (43). New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks): Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech

The Jets traded up to get the No. 43 pick, and they used it on a wide receiver with tons of upside.

Stephen Hill can do one thing, and that's run. He ran a 4.3-second 40-yard dash at the combine, one of the fastest times of any wide receiver. He also happens to be pretty big for a speedster.

Hill needs some work before he can become a complete wide receiver, but he definitely has the potential to be a star.

12 (44). Kansas City Chiefs: Jeff Allen, OG, Illinois

The Chiefs came into the draft needing to find some offensive line help. They chose to address their defensive line in the first round, but they got a guard with the No. 44 overall pick.

Jeff Allen is an excellent pass-blocker, which will no doubt sit well with Matt Cassel. He's going to have to get better as a run-blocker, though, which is an issue given how often the Chiefs are going to be running the ball in 2012.

But I said it before, and I'll say it again: offensive line depth is never a bad thing.

13 (45). Chicago Bears (from St. Louis Rams via Dallas Cowboys): Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

The Bears have gone and drafted one of the most polarizing prospects in the NFL draft.

Alshon Jeffery is a big wide receiver who can go up and get a jump ball, but he's not particularly fast and we saw him get awfully fat in 2011. Suffice it to say that's a concern.

Still, Jay Cutler is not used to having big receivers to throw to, and now he has two in Jeffery and Brandon Marshall. Jeffery is a gamble, but he's well worth it at this point in the draft.

14 (46). Philadelphia Eagles: Mychal Kendricks, ILB, Cal

The Eagles aren't going to have any linebacker problems in 2012. First they traded for DeMeco Ryans, and now they have Mychal Kendricks.

Kendricks was one of the top defensive players in the Pac-12 in 2011, and he was a standout performer at the combine in February. He may start right away in Philadelphia, making this a tremendous value pick for the Eagles.

Kendricks was complaining about not going in the first round on Twitter last night. I'm going to presume he's happy with how things ended up playing out.

15 (47). Seattle Seahawks (from New York Jets): Bobby Wagner, ILB, Utah State

Yet another surprising pick by the Seahawks. They reached for Bruce Irvin in the first round, and they've reached again for Bobby Wagner in the second round.

Wagner doesn't jump out at you with any of his measurables or any of the things he does on film, but Pete Carroll must have seen something he liked. He and the Seahawks have built a pretty good defense in Seattle, so here's hoping they know what they're doing.

Because, honestly, I have no clue what they're doing.

16 (48). New England Patriots (from Oakland): Tavon Wilson, S, Illinois

Who? 

Good question. Tavon Wilson was going to be lucky to be drafted at all, and here he is going 48th overall to one of the best teams in the NFL.

I'll be damned if I can explain this one. I'm sure Bill Belichick can, but right now this pick comes off as a total mystery.

17 (49). San Diego Chargers: Kendall Reyes, DT, UConn

The Chargers have upgraded their defensive line with this pick, as Kendall Reyes is a guy who could step in and contribute right away at more than one position.

Reyes could have gone in the first round based on his talent. The Chargers have to be happy he lasted to them, as they have now added two big pieces to their front seven after drafting Melvin Ingram yesterday.

18 (50). St. Louis Rams (from Chicago Bears): Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati 

Interesting pick here. Isaiah Pead is a guy with good speed and agility, but he's a bit undersized for an everyday running back in the NFL.

The Rams will presumably used Pead as a change-of-pace back alongside Steven Jackson. Since Pead is a good pass-catcher, he'll be an asset on third-down plays.

The Rams probably could have gotten Pead later, though. I'm not sure why they decided to take him here.

19 (51). Green Bay Packers (from Philadelphia Eagles via Arizona): Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State

Great value pick here. Jerel Worthy is too small to play nose tackle, but the Packers could easily plug him in at defensive end and watch him go to work.

Worthy has the tools to rush the passer, with his best asset being his swim move. His bag of tricks isn't very deep, however, so he's going to need a little work.

The Packers have made some good additions to their defense. They should be a lot better defensively in 2012.

20 (52). Tennessee Titans: Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina 

There was a time when I figured the Titans were going to take Zach Brown in the first round. He just stood out as a great fit for their defense.

Brown will be able to slide right in and play alongside Colin McCarthy and Akeem Ayers. His freakish speed will be a problem for opposing offenses, especially if he develops as a pass-rusher.

Brown has a high ceiling. Very nice pick by the Titans.

21 (53). Cincinnati Bengals: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

I wouldn't say the Bengals needed to draft a defensive tackle, but at this point Devon Still represented a very good value pick.

Still is a very big man, and he's going to demand more than one blocker at the next level. His value is in his ability to stuff the run, which will be of use to the Bengals.

Cincinnati's defense was already good. They just made it a little bit better.

22 (54). Detroit Lions: Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma

Wow. I didn't expect to see Ryan Broyles go this high, and for good reason.

Broyles doesn't have great physical tools. He's not big, he's not fast, and he's not quick. To boot, he's coming off a major injury at the end of the 2011 season.

However, Broyles is a very smart wide receiver. It's not an accident that he was so productive with the Sooners. He was born to catch passes, even if his body doesn't say as much.

23 (55). Atlanta Falcons: Peter Konz, OG, Wisconsin

Peter Konz is a guy who could have gone in the first round, so he's a great find for Atlanta all the way down at No. 55.

Konz is billed as a guard, but he can also play center. His versatility will come in handy in Atlanta, which needs as much protection for Matt Ryan as possible.

Don't be surprised when Konz is Atlanta's starting center a year or two down the road.

24 (56). Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

The Steelers are getting away with highway robbery in this draft.

Pittsburgh scored when it drafted David DeCastro in the first round on Thursday, and it's scored again with Mike Adams. He probably would have gone in the first round had it not been for a positive marijuana test at the combine.

The Steelers have made major improvements to their offensive line in the last two days. Somewhere, Ben Roethlisberger is smiling.

25 (57). Denver Broncos: Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona State

Well played, Denver. Well played.

The Broncos have Peyton Manning, but they know he's not going to last long. They also traded Tim Tebow, so they needed a backup.

Enter Brock Osweiler. He's raw, but on the Broncos he'll get to watch and learn for a few seasons behind one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

Very nice pick.

26 (58). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Houston Texans): LaVonte David, OLB, Nebraska

This is a pick Bucs fans should be excited about. LaVonte David is a guy with a great motor, and he has the skills to step in and help right away.

David moves very well, and his range will make him a big-time asset in rush defense. He can also drop back in coverage. I wouldn't call him a great pass-rusher, but his other talents make him well worth a pick here.

Gotta like what the Bucs are doing in this draft.

27 (59). Philadelphia Eagles (from Green Bay Packers): Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall

The Eagles are pretty well set at defensive end, but you can never have too much of a good thing.

Vinny Curry is a guy who can bring the heat off the edge, which makes him a great fit on an Eagles defense that brings the heat off the edge better than any team in the league.

The Eagles have a ton of pass rush options now. They're going to be a lot better in 2012 than they were in 2011.

28 (60). Baltimore Ravens: Kelechi Osemele, OG, Iowa State

Baltimore's offensive line consisted of several moving parts in 2011, so it's no surprise that Joe Flacco was sacked 31 times.

Kelechi Osemele will provide some O-line depth for the Ravens. I doubt he'll line up at left tackle like he did at Iowa State, but he could fill in at right tackle and at guard.

Not a bad pick.

29 (61). San Francisco 49ers: LaMichael James, RB, Oregon

And there goes LaMichael James.

James is not going to be an everyday running back in the NFL. He's too small to take a beating week in and week out. Besides, the 49ers have Frank Gore.

Still, James is going to be a very useful specialist, especially if he develops as a pass catcher.

After all the changes they've made this offseason, the 49ers clearly have some special in mind for their offense.

30 (62). Green Bay Packers (from New England Patriots): Casey Hayward, CB, Vanderbilt

The Packers got torched against the pass last season, so adding pieces to their secondary was definitely a priority.

In Casey Hayward, the Packers are getting a guy with great instincts. He needs some work before he can become an above-average all-around corner, but he stands to learn a lot from Charles Woodson.

31 (63). New York Giants: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU

The Giants have to great wide receivers in Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, but they lost Mario Manningham to free agency this offseason.

Rueben Randle has the goods to step in and fill Manningham's shoes. He's a big wide receiver who can go up and get a jump ball. He didn't put up great numbers at LSU, but that's the fault of the team's quarterbacks.
