2015 NFL Draft Grades: Team-by-Team List of Scores and Overall Day 2 Analysis

The second day of the 2015 NFL draft is in the books. If you're sad about that fact, look at the bright side: There are more than 100 picks and eight more hours still remaining to wake up to Saturday at noon.

If you're happy about that fact, well, odds are you're a little perturbed with how your team did the first two days. After Thursday saw a mostly mundane affair featuring only a couple trades and very few surprises, the second day featured a little more movement and a quite a few buzzworthy topics.

Randy Gregory was left hanging on the board until pick No. 60, where the Dallas Cowboys scooped him up. The New York Giants started the evening by wheeling and dealing their way to select Alabama safety Landon Collins. Drew Brees has a new heir apparent in Garrett Grayson, Marcus Mariota has a new top target in Dorial Green-Beckham and a number of high-profile names have yet to receive that fateful phone call.

With that in mind, let's break out the old grades gimmick and take a full look at how Day 2 played out:

Team	Day 2 Picks	Grade	Analysis
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys	DE/OLB Randy Gregory, OT Chaz Green	A-	Gregory's going to be a long-term starter if he can keep himself out of trouble. Green's a bit of a reach, but Dallas' recent history of drafting on the offensive line buys it some leeway.
Philadelphia Eagles	CB Eric Rowe, LB Jordan Hicks	C+	Chip Kelly continues to confuse. Kelly will either be back in college in a couple of years or hoisting a Super Bowl trophy. I have no clue which.
Washington	DE Preston Smith, RB Matt Jones	C+	Not sure what Alfred Morris did to make people angry in the nation's capital. Either way, Washington has way too many holes to use a third-round pick on another running back.
New York Giants	S Landon Collins, DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa	B	Moving up to take Collins nets the Giants a solid grade. Nothing much more to say.
NFC North
Chicago Bears	DT Eddie Goldman, C Hroniss Grasu	A-	On paper, the Bears are 3-for-3 heading into Saturday. They still need to fill holes in their secondary, but Ryan Pace is off to a stellar start.
Green Bay Packers	CB Quinten Rollins,, WR Ty Montgomery	C+	Each of the Packers' picks so far have felt like reaches. Please do not remember that sentence when they're all making huge plays in January next season.
Detroit Lions	RB Ameer Abdullah, CB Alex Carter	B-	Gotta give it to the Lions. They're determined to built a competent running game even after they fail time and again.
Minnesota Vikings	LB Eric Kendricks, DE Danielle Hunter	A-	Mike Zimmer is a defensive coach? Oh, well I couldn't possibly tell that. Dude knows talent.
NFC South
Carolina Panthers	TE Devin Funchess	B	Funchess will be good if he plays tight end. Things might get sticky otherwise.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	OT Donovan Smith, C Ali Marpet	A-	The Buccaneers are trying to build a foundation around Jameis Winston. I'll give them that.
New Orleans Saints	LB Kikaha Hau'oli, QB Garrett Grayson, CB P.J. Williams	B	Not a fan of Grayson. Love Williams.
Atlanta Falcons	CB Jalen Collins, RB Tevin Coleman	A	The Falcons have landed a solid combination of need and value so far. Coleman should bring some stability to a running back position that's needed it for years.
NFC West
San Francisco 49ers	S Jaquiski Tartt, LB Eli Harold	C+	The 49ers brass hasn't made any friends this week, let's say that. I do like Harold, though.
St. Louis Rams	OT Rob Havenstein, OT Jamon Brown, QB Sean Mannion	C+	Not much St. Louis has done this weekend will inspire confidence. Didn't like the Todd Gurley pick, and it compounded it by adding a future backup in Mannion.
Seattle Seahawks	DE Frank Clark, WR Tyler Lockett	A-	Lockett's one of my favorite players in this class. Clark's a first-round talent. The Seahawks remain good at football.
Arizona Cardinals	DE Markus Golden, RB David Johnson	C+	Johnson's a bit of a sleeper at running back, but meh.
AFC East
New York Jets	WR Devin Smith, LB Lorenzo Mauldin	B+	The Jets continue to add to their receiving corps by adding Smith. If only they had someone to throw him the ball...
Miami Dolphins	DT Jordan Phillips	C+	Not much to talk about here. Phillips is a fine pick.
New England Patriots	S Jordan Richards, DE Geneo Grissom	B	Getting a bit reachy, but what else is new with Bill Belichick? It's probably best to just sit back and watch the madness at work.
Buffalo Bills	CB Ronald Darby, G John Miller	B-	Got two possible starters. Not a bad haul.
AFC North
Cincinnati Bengals	OT Jake Fisher, TE Tyler Kroft, LB Paul Dawson	A-	Not sure about Kroft, but Fisher and Dawson are enough to give Cincy a solid grade.
Cleveland Browns	DE Nate Orchard, RB Duke Johnson, DT Xavier Cooper	B	Like what the Browns are doing to acquire picks. Not sure I love what they're doing with the one they use.
Pittsburgh Steelers	CB Senquez Golson, WR Sammie Coates	B	Like the Coates pick a whole lot. Will be fun to see if he develops.
Baltimore Ravens	TE Maxx Williams, DT Carl Davis	A-	The Ravens have done well for themselves adding toys for Joe Flacco. Williams addresses a glaring need at tight end.
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts	CB D'Joun Smith, DE Henry Anderson	C	Not in love. I'll say that.
Jacksonville Jaguars	RB T.J. Yeldon, G A.J. Cann	B+	Yeldon and Cann should provide a start to fixing the Jaguars miserable running game.
Tennessee Titans	WR Dorial Green-Beckham, G Jeremiah Poutasi	A-	Green-Beckham's a risk but one worth taking at No. 40. Poutasi may wind up starting Week 1. Good start.
Houston Texans	LB Benardrick McKinney, WR Jaelen Strong	A	The Texans got two players I'm 100 percent sure will be starters. Not too many teams can say that. That said, I'm unsure if either McKinney or Strong will be spectacular at the next level.
AFC West
San Diego Chargers	LB Denzel Perryman, CB Craig Mager	B-	Perryman should step into the starting lineup right away. Mager will help fill the secondary void.
Denver Broncos	OT Ty Sambrailo, TE Jeff Heuerman	B	Got good value in Sambrailo and decent value in Heuerman. Peyton Manning could make a paper bag look good at TE, though.
Oakland Raiders	DE Mario Edwards Jr., TE Clive Walford	B+	If the Raiders are going to continue drafting competently, a lot of us are going to have to rewrite our jokes. This isn't fair.
Kansas City Chiefs	G Mitch Morse, WR Chris Conley, CB Steven Nelson	C+	Meh.

Best Day 2 Values

Houston Texans Select Jaelen Strong (No. 70 Overall)

Biggest lock of the 2015 draft: Strong will wind up on the list for every "best of" synonym. It was a mortal lock from the moment he surprisingly slipped out of Round 2. It became totally obvious when the Texans, a team in desperate need of a receiver after Andre Johnson's departure, wound up with the Arizona State product.

Let's be clear: Strong won't be Andre Johnson. Johnson is a no-doubt-about-it Hall of Famer and the best player in Texans history. No one will replace Johnson, even if he was pretty clearly nearing the end of his rope in 2014.

That said, Strong is a reasonable heir apparent. He's not going to make a ton of plays downfield but will do a ton of work inside the numbers and near the red zone. Over the long term he and DeAndre Hopkins should make a formidable pair for whoever winds up playing quarterback in Houston.

Dallas Cowboys Select Randy Gregory (No. 60 Overall)

We could talk about Gregory's off-the-field issues all day. Many will actually spend their day doing so. But if we're sticking to football (#sticktosports), the Cowboys hit a home run in terms of value.

Gregory entered the draft process viewed as a borderline top-10 lock. He made 17.5 sacks over the last two seasons at Nebraska and projected as a versatile edge-rusher who could play outside linebacker or defensive end at the next level. Between Gregory, Shane Ray, Bud Dupree and Dante Fowler, it was difficult to make a distinction.

Gregory helped make the decision easy for teams when he tested positive for marijuana at the combine and further muddied his status by admitting extensive use in college, per Ashley Fox of ESPN.com. Because of his positive test, he'll immediately be part of the NFL's drug-testing protocol and a false step away from a suspension. For now, at least, Gregory is saying all the right things and vowing to prove himself on the field.

"I’m going to use this as fuel,'' Gregory told Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports earlier Friday. "The franchise that drafts me won’t have to worry about me off the field, but the teams that didn’t select me will have to worry about me on the field."

Given the Cowboys' need for an edge pass-rusher, this is a no-brainer from a football perspective. We'll see if it works from an off-the-field one.

Cincinnati Bengals Select Jake Fisher (No. 53 Overall)

The Bengals needed an insurance policy with both Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith due to hit free agency after next season. They got that and then some in Fisher, who has the raw talent to be a stalwart for years to come.

The Oregon product is one of the most athletic tackles in this class, gifted with light feet and quick hands that should turn him into an excellent pass-blocker at the next level. Few edge-rushers are going to beat him off of the line of scrimmage. Fisher also has a long arms, making him able to impede the rush even when he gets beat a bit.

Run blocking isn't a strength at this point, but that's more of a strength than technique issue. The Bengals have more than enough time to slowly integrate him into the fold. It might not pay big dividends this year, but Fisher's probably Cincinnati's starting left tackle in 2016.

Pittsburgh Steelers Select Sammie Coates (No. 87 Overall)

Perhaps only Green Bay is better at developing mid-round wide receivers than Pittsburgh. In Coates, the Steelers get someone with abundant physical gifts but a ton of developmental work ahead. The Auburn product averaged 21.4 yards per reception for his collegiate career, taking advantage of the few times the Tigers moved away from their dominant running game.

On the other hand, Coates was also a wildly inconsistent route-runner with a penchant for dropping nearly as many big plays as he made. He had a drop rate of 19.1 percent for his career. To put that in perspective, Mohamed Sanu was the only qualifying receiver last season with a worse drop rate, per Pro Football Focus.

To put it mildly, there is some work to be done. Steelers fans might remember Limas Sweed as another similarly skilled player whose case of the dropsies sent him on a one-way ticket out of the Steel City.

But, like Fisher, Coates has the time and infrastructure to develop. Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant are already locked into the starting lineup. If anything, Coates will just be another weapon in an increasingly deep stable for Ben Roethlisberger.

Cincinnati Bengals Select Paul Dawson (No. 99 Overall)

The Mr. Irrelevant of Day 2 will be anything but in Cincinnati. Dawson can and will make an immediate impact in Cincinnati's front seven. It's one big ball of cliche to say this, but Dawson's a football player's football player. He was one of college football's best all-around linebackers last season, compiling 81 tackles, six sacks and four interceptions.

The Bengals have a solid overall track record of utilizing skilled linebackers who lack in ideal physical traits. Neither Rey Maualuga nor Vontaze Burfict are burners, and the team went out and signed A.J. Hawk earlier this offseason for good measure. Dawson will make a pretty fun foursome of dudes who are productive despite lacking ideal size and speed.

Had he run a better 40 time at the combine, it's possible Dawson would have been selected late in the first round. As it stands, he'll be going to a franchise that knows how to use his skill set.
