Day one of the NFL Draft was unpredictable for the most part and should provide teams with key additions that were correct on paper and on the field, but days 2 and 3 are where Super Bowl Champions and future Pro Bowlers are made. Who are a few intriguing names expected to come off the board tonight?
Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson (5-11, 186 pounds)
Avieon Terrell was considered a day-one talent by many, but too many folks were inconsistent with the projection. Either way, Terrell's brother A.J. is a significant piece of the puzzle with the Atlanta Falcons. Avieon is more physical and has size to help him better in coverage. He is also very good at stopping the long runs before they're broken.
Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (6-1, 188 pounds)
McCoy also has great size and instincts, as well as coverage ability against taller wide receivers. A very consistent tackler who has a nose for swarming the football.
T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson (6-4, 265 pounds)
The first round saw two Clemson Tigers get drafted, and early on, experts thought that Peter Woods and T.J. Parker would be first-round picks. Woods ended up going first, but Parker is a highly productive pass rusher who can also stop the run.
Denzel Boston, WR, Washington (6-4, 212 pounds)
Boston was another name that was supposed to be chosen in the first round, but fell for whatever reason. Boston provides size at 6-foot-4 and can high-point the ball over smaller defenders with ease. Any team will be a great fit for a receiver like Boston.
Chris Bell, WR, Louisville (6-2, 222 pounds)
Chris Bell is a sneakingly and deceptively good wide receiver. He has great strength and toughness and will be a very productive wide receiver in the NFL as early as training camp, given the right opportunity.
Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee (6-4, 190 pounds)
Brazzell II is a huge wide receiver at almost 6-foot-5, but could be a round three pick instead of round two. He is also great as a blocker.
Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU (6-2, 203 pounds)
