Tevin Coleman is a good candidate to be that guy so they take him.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="56" firstname="P.J." lastname="Williams" position="CB" from="Florida State" league="nfl" teamlogo="steelers"]After the Steelers have Ray fall in their laps in the first round, the need to address the corner position. So they grab corner P.J. Williams to improve the back end of the defense. With the offense so loaded, I wonder if they grab a safety in the third round.[/mockdraft]rnrn[nextpost teaser="57-59" slider="true"] rnrn[caption id="attachment_46050" align="aligncenter" width="850"] Oct 30, 2014; Louisville, KY, USA; Florida State Seminoles wide receiver Rashad Greene (80) returns a kick off during the fourth quarter against the Louisville Cardinals at Papa John[/caption]rnrn[mockdraft order="57" firstname="Rashad" lastname="Greene" position="WR" from="Florida State" league="nfl" teamlogo="panthers"]After addressing the protection issues the Panthers had in 2014, they look to get Newton a weapon. While Kelvin Benjamin does his work down the field, Rashad Greene can go underneath. So they take Greene here in the second round and end up with a gem.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="58" firstname="Clive" lastname="Walford" position="TE" from="Miami" league="nfl" teamlogo="ravens"]The Ravens spoke of being more desperate for a tight end than a receiver. But there weren't any tight ends valued where they picked so they took a receiver in the first round. No. 58 is a good place for a tight end so they go ahead and get Clive Walford there.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="59" firstname="Devin" lastname="Funchess" position="TE" from="Michigan" league="nfl" teamlogo="broncos"]The Broncos lost athletic tight end Julius Thomas so they need to replace him. And Devin Fuchess looks like same type of tight end Thomas was in Denver. So the Broncos take him here to help Peyton Manning maintain his short to intermediate passing game.[/mockdraft]rnrn[nextpost teaser="60-62" slider="true"] rnrn[caption id="attachment_46052" align="aligncenter" width="850"] Oct 4, 2014; Tallahassee, FL, USA; Florida State Seminoles defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. (15) tries to wrap up Wake Forest Demon Deacons wide receiver Jared Crump (88) during the first quarterat Doak Campbell Stadium.

They just lost Henry Melton in free agency and should replace him. So they pick Mario Edwards Jr. who, will be better than many think.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="61" firstname="Grady" lastname="Jarrett" position="NT" from="clemson" league="nfl" teamlogo="colts"]The Indianapolis Colts need a nose tackle to help them stop the run. And Grady Jarrett, at 6'1", 304 is one of those leverage guys that gets under centers to defeat blocks. This could be just what the doctor ordered for the Colts so they take him here at No. 61.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="62" firstname="Henry" lastname="Anderson" position="DE" from="Stanford" league="nfl" teamlogo="packers"]The Packers brought back Raji to play nose tackle and got Kendricks at inside backer in the first round. So here, they get 3-4 end Henry Anderson to complete that defensive front. The Packers might be ready for a Super Bowl run after that.[/mockdraft]rnrn[nextpost teaser="63-64" slider="true"] rnrn[caption id="attachment_46051" align="aligncenter" width="850"] Nov 1, 2014; Eugene, OR, USA; Oregon Ducks offensive lineman Hroniss Grasu (55) blocks for Oregon Ducks running back Royce Freeman (21) against the Stanford Cardinal at Autzen Stadium.

And Hronis Grasu is a quick, athletic center the Seahawks are known for in their zone-blocking scheme. So they take him from right down the street and the Seahawks don't miss a beat.[/mockdraft]rnrn[mockdraft order="64" firstname="Duke" lastname="Johnson" position="RB" from="Miami" league="nfl" teamlogo="patriots"]The New England Patriots lost running backs Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen in free agency. They still have LeGarrett Blount but the Patriots like backs that can do a little of everything. Duke Johnson is such a back and the end of the second round is good value.[/mockdraft]rn [recentposts align="right" thiscategory="no"]
