Official Round 2 Selection thread - GM Mock

The Washington Foreskins pick DE Cliff Avril.

 

With the 54th pick in the NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Earl Bennett, WR, Vanderbilt.

The only receiver with a round 2 grade left on the board, Bennett is also the pick that Pitt preferred to eventually replace Heinz Ward. Bennett runs great routes, is a team player, a good blocker, and catches everything in sight. Bennett can probably step right in as the number 3 receiver and possibly help on special teams.

 

with the REAL 54th pick in the 2008 NFL draft, The Tennessee Titans select, Philip Wheeler, LB, Georgia Tech.

will probably be an unpopular pick, but i've watched this kid play A LOT the past three years and i think he's the best pure football player on the board. could go out to the weak side once bulluck moves on and he's a hell of a blizter(18.5 sacks the past three years).

 

55th Pick- Seahawks- Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue.


(Add a new TE to go with the new WR (Devin Thomas in round 1) and the Seahawks make sure they have new offensive weapons for Hasslebeck to make one last run at the Superbowl with Holmgrem as coach)

 

With the 56th pick of the 2008 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers select OT Carl Nicks, University of Nebraska.

The Pack selects the top OT left in the draft. Known as a road grader, Nicks has played both tackle positions and can play guard. Gives solid depth to their line as well as a future starter. Long arms, heavy, but surprisingly agile for his size.

 

With the 57th pick of the 2008 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Justin King, CB from Penn St.

The Dolphins secondary is horrible, and they go ahead and take the best corner available. May be a reach, but with all of the top tackle prospects already gone, the Dolphins look to fill another need.

 

With the 58th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Anthony Collins, OT, Kansas.

--- Collins is coming off an All-American season and is a good pick here for the Jags. A big, athletic tackle to help solidify their already potent running game is just what they're looking for.

 

With the 59th pick the Colts select, ERIN HENDERSON, OLB Maryland.

Stock dropped a little due to injury concern, but best available OLB left and that is a position that needs filled with the loss of Rob Morris. Had 133 tackles last season.

 

With the 60th pick of the 2008 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers select, Marcus Howard, LB, University of Georgia.


A lot of teams worked Howard out at DE, but his speed on the outside is too tempting for the Pack to pass up.
