Predictions for Day 2

STEPHEN HAAS/Associated Press

1. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders could have a bidding war for Derek Carr, as they were the two teams most often linked to Carr in the build-up of the draft. Of course, the Houston Texans would first have to pass on Carr atop the second round.

2. Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo won’t last long in Round 2. He’s a high-character, intelligent and leadership-driven quarterback who has a quick release and ample arm talent. The Bucs and Tennessee Titans are logical options.

3. We could see as many as eight receivers go in the second round. We saw five go in the first round, but top-receiver talents such as Marqise Lee, Allen Robinson, Cody Latimer, Davante Adams, Jarvis Landry and more are worthwhile second-round options.

4. Logan Thomas was wildly inconsistent as a junior and senior, but he has Cam Newton-type upside. A team such as the Arizona Cardinals, San Diego Chargers or Pittsburgh Steelers will look to groom Thomas behind their veteran starters.

5. Carlos Hyde will be the first running back taken, but he will not be selected in the top 50 picks. We saw no running backs in the first round last year, but this year’s class is even weaker than last year's. Hyde has the build to take a long-term beating in the NFL, and he looks the part of an NFL featured back.

6. Sticking with running backs, we’ll see just four taken on Friday: Hyde, Tre Mason, Charles Sims and a surprise runner (my guess is Terrance West of Towson). The running back value is diminishing drastically for NFL teams, and it seems many teams are more willing to focus on depth than take a runner early.

7. We’ll see more than one player traded on Day 2. Players such as Eric Berry, Brandon Flowers, Ryan Mallett and more have a chance to be moved for early-round picks.

8. Cyrus Kouandjio could be in for a long second round thanks to injury concerns. He has an arthritic knee that was discovered at the NFL Scouting Combine, which may lead to a shortened NFL career. Still, he’s a mauling run-blocker who can provide instant starter capability for the team that drafts him.

Latest Rumors on Day 2

Gail Burton/Associated Press

—After 30 prospects were invited to Radio City, just nine remained in the dreaded Green Room: QB Jimmy Garoppolo; WRs Marqise Lee, Cody Latimer and Jordan Matthews; OTs Morgan Moses and Cyrus Kouandjio; DT Ra’Shede Hageman; DE Kony Ealy; and C Marcus Martin. We could see at least six gone in the top 10 of the second round.

—The Bucs didn’t take Johnny Manziel at seventh overall and didn’t trade up for a falling Bridgewater or Carr. And immediately after the draft, head coach Lovie Smith had this to say about his quarterbacks, per ESPN.com’s Pat Yasinskas.

“You know how much I like Josh McCown as our starter here, but I love Mike Glennon. Mike Glennon is our quarterback of the future here. Why would we want to add a third quarterback to the mix?”  

—According to Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald, the Dolphins "absolutely love, love, love Nevada tackle Joel Bitonio." He could be a target for Miami if they try to move up, but odds are he won’t last long in the second round.

—Patriots insider Tom Curran of CSNNE.com reported before the first round that Ryan Mallett may be trade bait during the 2014 draft, with the Texans being the likely suitor.

The team passed on a quarterback with the first overall pick, and it has options at pick No. 33, but Texans head coach Bill O’Brien was the Patriots' offensive coordinator when they selected Ryan Mallett, so there’s a connection. 

—Before the first round, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported that Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was still on the trading block. He mentioned the Browns as a potential suitor, but with Manziel in Cleveland, the Washington Redskins will likely have to look elsewhere if they're ready to move on.

—According to GM Trent Baalke, the 49ers tried hard to acquire a trade-up that would have netted them Odell Beckham Jr., according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. But the price for moving from No. 30 into the top 10 was too steep. The San Francisco 49ers may try to find their receiver in the second or third round.
