In the second installment of our FPW draft series, we saw the Cowboys add a couple of Johnsons: CB Kevin and RB Duke. How will our pal Tom Ryle add to this haul at the end of day two and beginning of day three? Read on, faithful BTBers!
| Team & GM | Selection | Details | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pick | Team | GM | Player | Position | School | Blurb | Trade Notes | |
| 65 | Tampa Bay | Rabble | Tre Jackson | OG | Florida State | After selecting Jameis Winston in the first round, they select his collegiate bodyguard to protect him at the NFL level. | ||
| 66 | Tennessee | Jason | Gerod Holliman | S | Louisville | Great value at a position of need. | ||
| 67 | Jacksonville | Michael | Ronald Darby | CB | Florida State | Gus Bradley is tripling-down on that defense that was really bad in 2014. Now he gets his corner, Ronald Darby out of Florida State. Darby is a good, rangy but speedy corner that can tackle. He'll need some work in run support but the Jags are happy to grab a press-man corner for their defense. | ||
| 68 | Oakland | Landon | Nate Orchard | DE | Utah | The Raiders select Nate Orchard, DE, Utah. Raiders need pass rushers, Nate Orchard is a pass rusher. Even the Raiders can solve that equation. | ||
| 69 | Washington | Gary | Cody Prewitt | FS | Ole Miss | The Redskins need a free safety in the worst possible way, and Prewitt fits the bill. | ||
| 70 | NY Jets | O.C.C. | Devin Funchess | WR | Michigan | With Brandon Marshall on the one side and 6'4 Devin Funchess on the other, even a guy like Geno Smith is going to complete a couple of passes per game. | ||
| 71 | Chicago | Jason | Derron Smith | FS | Fresno State | Have I mentioned how bad the Bears secondary is? | ||
| 72 | St. Louis | Jason | Hroniss Grasu | C | Oregon | Have I mentioned how bad the Rams offensive line is? | ||
| 73 | Atlanta | Tom | Xavier Cooper | DT | Washington State | The Falcons are thrilled he is there to fortify the interior of their defensive line. | ||
| 74 | NY Giants | Rabble | Damarious Randall | FS | Arizona State | The Giants need a safety, and Randall is the best FS in the draft. Happy happy. | ||
| 75 | New Orleans | O.C.C. | Arie Kouandijo | OG | Alabama | Kouandijo is a big guy with NFL bloodlines who'll plug the Saints leaky offensive line. | ||
| 76 | Minnesota | Michael | David Johnson | RB | Northern Iowa | With all the uncertainty surrounding AP, the Vikings need an insurance policy. David Johnson is a productive back that can do a little bit of everything. | ||
| 77 | Cleveland | Landon | Jeff Heuermann | TE | Ohio State | Browns are desperate for talent at TE, Jeff Heuerman is probably the last TE on the board before the talent there falls off a cliff. | ||
| 78 | New Orleans | O.C.C. | Devin Smith | WR | Ohio State | With a staggering 27.2 yards per reception, Smith is one of the best vertical threats in football and will open up the Saints offense in previously unseen ways. | from Miami | |
| 79 | San Francisco | Gary | Denzel Perryman | ILB | Miami (FL) | The 49ers were hoping that Stephone Anthony would still be on the board, because they love athletic linebackers, but they are happy to get the next best thing in Perryman. | ||
| 80 | Kansas City | Michael | D'Joun Smith | CB | Florida Atlantic | The Chiefs need an athletic corner that can cover receivers in the AFC West. D'Joun Smith can fill a role for them almost immediately, which will help their back end. | ||
| 81 | Buffalo | Michael | Jaquiski Tartt | SS | Samford | The Bills need a physical presence in their secondary, though a bit raw Tartt is starting his climb up the charts in a class that is struggling to produce good safety options. | ||
| 82 | Cleveland | Landon | Rashad Greene | WR | Florida State | Cleveland happily selects Greene to further boost their receiving core. | from Houston | |
| 83 | San Diego | Jason | Michael Bennett | DT | Ohio State | Not a great fit for a 3-4 defense, but too good to pass up this late. | ||
| 84 | Jacksonville | Michael | T.J. Yeldon | RB | Alabama | Jacksonville needs a few more playmakers on offense and Bradley isn't so sure Robinson is the back for his system. | from Philadelphia | |
| 85 | Cincinnati | O.C.C | Phillip Dorsett | WR | Miami (FL) | Dorsett (no relation to Tony) ran a 4.33 forty, and is probably the biggest deep threat in the draft after averaging 24.2 yards per reception in his final year at Miami. | ||
| 86 | Arizona | Michael | Steve Nelson | CB | Oregon State | With Cromartie leaving via Free Agency, now the Cardinals can bring over Steve Nelson who plays a lot bigger than his 5'10 frame would suggest. They shouldn't skip a beat with the help of the Honey Badger and now Nelson. | ||
| 87 | Pittsburgh | Gary | Josh Shaw | CB | USC | With the retirement of both Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor, Pittsburgh can't believe Shaw is still there so they smile and gladly take him. | ||
| 88 | Detroit | Rabble | Grady Jarrett | DT | Clemson | After losing both starting defensive tackles in free agency, the Lions find a dynamic young penetrator to pair up with Haloti Ngata. | ||
| 89 | Carolina | Jason | Anthony Harris | FS | Virginia | Great fit for both player and team. Harris possesses great ball skills, but needs time to put on NFL strength and learn to take better angles. In Carolina he can be a spot player in 2015, and compete for a full time role in 2016. | ||
| 90 | Baltimore | Tom | Doran Grant | CB | Ohio State | The Ravens grad the best corner left to upgrade their secondary. | ||
| 91 | Dallas | Tom | Trey Flowers | DE | Arkansas | Two words for why the Cowboys happily take Flowers: SPARQ scores. | ||
| 92 | Denver | Rabble | Cedric Ogbuehi | OT | Texas A&M | Ogbuehi is a first-round talent; the Broncos run to the podium in a white hot heat when they see him still on the board... | ||
| 93 | Indianapolis | O.C.C | Daryl Williams | RT | Oklahoma | The 6-5, 327 Williams is a plug-and-play right tackle who'll protect Andrew Luck's right side for the next ten years. | ||
| 94 | Green Bay | Gary | Taiwan Jones | ILB | Michigan State | The Packers are very happy to get a guy like Jones to help their front seven. | ||
| 95 | Seattle | Tom | David Cobb | RB | Minnesota | Seattle gets a backup and potentially an eventual replacement for Beast Mode, who can be pulled off the field just as well as Marshawn Lynch when trying to score from the one. | ||
| 96 | New England | Landon | Mario Edwards, Jr. | DE | Florida State | Edward fell quite a ways.. and right into the waiting arms of the Patriots | ||
| 97 | New England | Landon | Ibraheim Campbell | SS | Northwestern | Campbell is just another BPA pick for the Pats. | Compensatory Pick | |
| 98 | Kansas City | Michael | Tyler Lockett | WR | Kansas State | Even with Jeremy Maclin being added, it never hurts to add another dynamic receiver. Tyler Lockett makes it look easy at times, KC was so surprised nobody snagged him. | Compensatory Pick | |
| 99 | Cincinnati | O.C.C | Jesse James | TE | Penn State | The Bengals pick the outlaw Jesse James, TE, Penn State, with one eye on their need at DE and with the other eye on their jersey sales. | Compensatory Pick | |
