52. Cleveland Browns (via Ten)- Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

The fact that the Cleveland Browns have so many picks means they can take a risk here with Sidney Jones. If healthy, he would’ve been in contention to be the 1st cornerback selected in the draft.

53. Detroit Lions- DeMarcus Walker, Edge, Florida State

DeMarcus Walker is a well-rounded defender who plays the run with integrity and can generate some pressure. He’d be a nice fit opposite Ziggy Ansah and take some pressure off of the Detroit Lions star defender.

54. Miami Dolphins- Pat Elflein, C/G, Ohio State

The Miami Dolphins have a need at guard, but they also are constantly needing to fill in for the oft-injured Mike Pouncey. Pat Elflein fills both needs as someone with a lot of experience playing both positions.

55. New York Giants- Carlos Watkins, DT, Clemson

Johnathan Hankins is now with the Indianapolis Colts which means the Giants have a hole along their defensive line. Carlos Watkins would be a great addition as someone capable of hold at the point of attack and also creating some pressure.

56. Oakland Raiders- Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

The Raiders have good depth across their roster which means they can get creative with the rest of their draft. Zay Jones is a high-upside receiver who uses his size an speed to make plays down the field.

57. Houston Texans- Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama

When healthy, Eddie Jackson is one of the more impactful secondary players in this draft. He is someone who doesn’t hesitate to attack the line of scrimmage and has a knack for creating turnovers.

58. Seattle Seahawks- Ethan Pocic, C, LSU

Seattle’s offensive line really lacks overall talent which is why they could potentially use both their 2nd picks to upgrade the unit. Ethan Pocic is a steady performer at the center position with the athleticism to get on the move.
