Rapid Reaction: Round 2- Picks 49-56

Draft Grades NFL Draft

49. Kansas City Chiefs: OT/C Mitch Morse

-The Chiefs needed OL help and Morse is a versatile player with good athleticism, but this feels like a reach.

Grade: C+

50. Buffalo Bills: CB Ronald Darby

-The Bills could have gone a couple different directions, but went with another cornerback. This wasn’t a major need, but they could use a nickel back.

Grade: B+

51. Cleveland Browns (via Texans): OLB Nate Orchard

-Orchard isn’t a great athlete, but he’s a high-motor guy who generates a lot of pressure and sacks.

Grade: B+

52. Miami Dolphins (via Eagles): DT Jordan Phillips:

-Phillips is a monster NT and is a good fit next to Suh. The pair of DT’s should drastically improve the Dolphins run defense.

Grade: A-

53. Cincinnati Bengals: OT Jake Fisher:

-The Bengals grab another offensive tackle here (though he could maybe move inside) to further bolster their offensive line.

Grade: A

54. Detroit Lions: RB Ameer Abdullah

-The Lions needed a speed back but this may be a slight reach given his questionable ball security.

Grade: B

55. Baltimore Ravens (via Arizona Cardinals): TE Maxx Williams

-The Ravens jumped up to grab another target for Joe Flacco and it makes a ton of sense. Williams was the top TE in the draft and with their issues at TE they needed the help.

Grade: A+

56. Pittsburgh Steelers: CB Senquez Golson

-The Steelers go with a bit of a surprise here as Golson doesn’t have the size you are looking for with an outside corner, but he’s got elite ball skills. If he was 3 inches taller he was probably a top 10 pick.

Grade: B
