NFL mock draft for Day 2, expert projections for second and third rounds

34. Arizona Cardinals | A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU

Arizona adds Haulcy, who can play in the slot and in space.

35. Buffalo Bills (from Tennessee) | Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

Rodriguez's playmaking ability fits the Bills' need at linebacker.

36. Las Vegas Raiders | Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Boston, at 6-foot-4, can be the outside winner the Raiders need as they build around Fernando Mendoza.

37. New York Giants | Gennings Dunker, OL, Iowa

Dunker can be a Day 1 contributor for the Giants, who continue to work on the OL.

38. Houston Texans (from Washington) | Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

McDonald is the best run-defending defensive tackle in the draft. Houston can still double up on offensive linemen later in the day.

39. Cleveland Browns | Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

If Howell's college production and overall activity translates to the NFL, he'll be a good player to pair on the edge opposite Myles Garrett on passing downs.

40. Kansas City Chiefs | Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo

Tempting to double down at corner here, but McNeil-Warren is a playmaking safety.

41. Cincinnati Bengals | Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

The Bengals continue to use early-round selections to address the secondary. Hood could be a Day 1 starter.

42. New Orleans Saints | CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

Allen's athleticism and play speed is a good fit to need with the Saints.

43. Miami Dolphins | Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

Terrell's best position might be in the slot as a pro, so it makes more sense for the Dolphins to add another corner here. BPA.

44. New York Jets (from Dallas) | D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana

Ponds is a tailor-made player for what the Jets and Aaron Glenn are trying to build.

45. Baltimore Ravens | Chris Bell, WR, Louisville

Recent injury aside, Bell has the potential to be an eventual overqualified WR2 in the NFL. Without the knee injury last November, Bell could have pushed into the first round.

46. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon

Pregnon's zone-based past will make for an easy transition to the Bucs' new offense.

47. Indianapolis Colts | TJ Parker, EDGE, Clemson

Parker's slide ends here. The Clemson edge rusher has a high floor and a high ceiling with advanced pass-rush ability.

48. Atlanta Falcons | Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

It's possible that the medicals will keep McCoy from being a top-50 prospect. If not, McCoy is a first-round talent falling to the Falcons' first pick.

49. Minnesota Vikings | Keionte Scott, DB, Miami (FL)

Scott excelled as a slot defender in college, and he fills a need in a zone-heavy scheme.

50. Detroit Lions | R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma

Thomas can be an additive piece eventually opposite Aidan Hutchinson.

51. Carolina Panthers | Christen Miller, DT, Georgia

Carolina goes 2-for-2 for Georgia picks along the lines of scrimmage. Miller is an immediate rotational player with versatility in the odd-man Panthers front with room to grow the role.

52. Green Bay Packers | Gabe Jacas, DL, Illinois

Jacas is a versatile lineman who was a consistent disruptor over the last two seasons in college.

53. Pittsburgh Steelers | Skyler Bell, WR, UConn

Bell fills a hole for the Steelers, who need productive pass-catchers.

54. Philadelphia Eagles | Lee Hunter, DL, Texas Tech

Hunter is a needed addition to the Eagles' defensive line depth at the nose.

55. Los Angeles Chargers | Chase Bisontis, OL, Texas A&M

Jim Harbaugh is well aware of the Chargers' OL depth need.

56. Jacksonville Jaguars | Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt

Stowers may not supplant Brenton Strange as a rookie, but he is a high-ceiling prospect and a situational TE2.

57. Chicago Bears | Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri

Young reportedly visited Chicago during the pre-draft process and fits a need.

58. San Francisco 49ers | Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern

The 49ers could not go too long without addressing the immediate OL depth need.

59. Houston Texans | Jalen Kilgore, DB, South Carolina

Kilgore's physical tools match up well with Houston's versatile defense, even if there's not an easy pathway to playing time as a rookie.

60. Chicago Bears (from Buffalo) | Jager Burton, C, Kentucky

Burton was a fast riser in the pre-draft process. Burton's best collegiate season was last year, when he moved to center for the first time.

61. Los Angeles Rams | Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama

Bernard had an encouraging season at Alabama last year, and he reinforces the Rams' receiver room.

62. Denver Broncos | Max Klare, TE, Ohio State

Klare can be a Year 1 situational pass-catching tight end while eventually growing into an every-down role.

63. New England Patriots | Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State

Orange is a run defender first, but his film shows promise as a functional pass rusher.

64. Seattle Seahawks | Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

Cisse adds to Seattle's depth in the secondary and can play on the outside.
