2015 NFL 2nd Round Mock Draft

Here is my mock draft for the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

33. Tennessee Titans- Jalen Collins, Cornerback, LSU: Tennessee needs cornerback help in a big way and Collins has first-round upside.

34. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Jake Fisher, Offensive Tackle, Oregon: Tampa Bay must find tackle help to protect its investment in Jameis Winston.

35. Oakland Raiders- Eric Rowe, Cornerback, Utah: Rowe owns a tremendous combination of size (6'1", 205 lbs) and athleticism. With new defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. bringing the Seattle Seahawks system to Oakland, Rowe can be the big cornerback who wins for him consistently on the outside to make the scheme work properly.

36. Jacksonville Jaguars- Landon Collins, Safety, Alabama: Collins was generally considered the No. 1 safety prospect, but he fell due to his overall skill set as a traditional box safety. Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley certainly knows how to get the most out of talented defensive backs. 

37. New York Jets- Eric Kendricks, Inside Linebacker, UCLA: The most productive collegiate inside linebacker over the last three years goes to Todd Bowles.

38. Washington Redskins- Owamagbe Odighizuwa, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, UCLA: Washington needs an edge-setter with athleticism and "Owa" has been rising up draft boards.

39. Chicago Bears- Randy Gregory, Defensive End, Nebraska: Gregory falls down to a team that can desperately use his services on the defensive line in Chicago.

40. New York Giants- Eddie Goldman, Defensive Tackle, Florida State: Goldman is a talented defensive lineman that the Giants shouldn't pass on.

41. St. Louis Rams- TJ Clemmings, Offensive Tackle, Pittsburgh: Clemmings is an aggressive run-blocker with tremendous natural athleticism, but he'll need to refine his technique to realize his full potential. 

42. Atlanta Falcons- Maxx Williams, Tight End, Minnesota: Williams answers a glaring need at the position, considering they never had great production from the position since they had Tony Gonzalez.

43. Cleveland Browns- Jaelen Strong, Wide Receiver, Arizona State: Cleveland failed to address the position yesterday and Strong falls into their laps.

44. New Orleans Saints- Devin Smith, Wide Receiver, Ohio State: New Orleans lost Kenny Stills, but Smith might be an upgrade.

45. Minnesota Vikings- Dorial Green-Beckham, Wide Receiver, Missouri: Teddy Bridgewater gets a boom-or-bust deep threat with the ability to come in and help right away.

46. San Francisco 49ers- Ronald Darby, Cornerback, Florida State: Darby didn't get the headlines that P.J. Williams received while at Florida State, but he's the more talented of the two.

47. Miami Dolphins- PJ Williams, Cornerback, Florida State: Williams gives the Dolphins length and press-man coverage talent.

48. San Diego Chargers- Jordan Phillips, Nose Tackle, Oklahoma: Big-bodied interior player with rare quickness for a man his size. Has dominant potential, but must unlock it.

49. Kansas City Chiefs- Denzel Perryman, Middle Linebacker, Miami: Kansas City doesn't necessarily have a need at this position, but Perryman fits this defense.

50. Buffalo Bills- Bryce Petty, Quarterback, Baylor: The Bills need a long term answer at the position and Petty can fill that void for Rex Ryan.

51. Houston Texans- Eli Harold, Outside Linebacker, Virginia: Houston can use help at the position and Harold would fit right in.

52. Philadelphia Eagles- Quinten Rollins, Safety, Miami (OH): The Eagles could try Rollins at cornerback or safety, but what he flashed in only one year of college football was undeniable.

53. Cincinnati Bengals- Carl Davis, Defensive Tackle, Iowa: While the Bengals don't need Davis to immediately start, he automatically becomes the heir apparent to Domata Peko, who is on the downside of his career. Davis will eventually take over as the starting 1-technique. 

54. Detroit Lions- Michael Bennett, Defensive Tackle, Ohio State: Bennett is one of the most disruptive defensive linemen available. His ability to consistently work upfield and create a new line of scrimmage makes him a valuable commodity at this juncture. 

55. Arizona Cardinals- Nate Orchard, Outside Linebacker, Utah: Everyone knows the Cardinals need outside linebacker help. It's just a matter of what their draft grades look like at this spot.

56. Pittsburgh Steelers- Jaquiski Tartt, Safety, Samford: Pittsburgh has a need at safety after the retirement of Troy Polamalu.

57. Carolina Panthers- AJ Cann, Guard, South Carolina: Carolina needs offensive line help and Cann gives them that.

58. Baltimore Ravens- D'Joun Smith, Cornerback, Florida Atlantic: Wiry frame with great man-cover talent. Smith's quick-twitch athleticism is a welcome sight in Baltimore

59. Denver Broncos- Mitch Morse, Guard, Missouri: Morse has been flying up draft boards lately. The former tackle transitions to guard or center and fits Gary Kubiak's offense perfectly.

60. Dallas Cowboys- Trevor Coleman, Running Back, Indiana: Dallas still needs to fine a young back to replace DeMarco Murray and Coleman can fit right into this prolific Cowboys offense.

61. Indianapolis Colts- Paul Dawson, Inside Linebacker, TCU: Dawson didn't win the combine, but there were no other inside 'backers in college football who made more plays than him.

62. Green Bay Packers- Bernardrick McKinney, Inside Linebacker, Mississippi State: McKinney can be a little bit plodding and limited at times, but he's steady and a great tackler, which is a need inside for Green Bay.

63. Seattle Seahawks- Tre' Jackson, Guard, Florida State: Seattle can use help to protect Russell Wilson on the offensive line.

64. New England Patriots- Duke Johnson, Running Back, Miami: Johnson is an electric running back with the best zone-scheme skills of any rusher in this draft.
