Lewis' NFL Mock Draft Part 2

Round one picks 17-32
17.Baltimore Ravens- Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU
     Ravens needed a wide out. They just signed Steve Smith, but I think Baltimore looks further down the road and sees a Torrey Smith and Beckham Jr. duo.
18.New York Jets- Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
     The Jets absolutely need help at corner. Signing Dimitri Patterson is not the answer. Dennard fits as a confident defender right in with the Jets locker room.
19.Miami Dolphins- Xavier Su'a Filo, OG, UCLA
     The Dolphins must rebuild their offensive line in order to protect Tannehill. Filo fits right into their needs on day one. If the Dolphins cannot trade up, they select Filo.
20.Arizona Cardinals- Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
     Many suggest Cardinals taking a quarterback here, but I just don't see it. Cardinals really need an upgrade in the backfield next to Peterson and neither Cromartie nor is 36 year old Yeremiah Bell the solution.
21.Green Bay Packers- Dee Ford, DE, Auburn
     I think Green Bay reaches a little here knowing the Raji will become a free agent and they need a long term replacement. He has great size and strength, a really underrated prospect.
22.Philadelphia Eagles- Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
     Another reach here, this guy fits right into Chip Kelly's offense and replaces DeSean Jackson. He is big and fast, just what the Eagles need.
23.Kansas City Chiefs- C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
     Mosley falls to the Chiefs here. Another Roll Tide product, the Chiefs need some help down the road at this position. The slide here is too much to pass on.
24.Cincinnati Bengals- Jason Verret, CB, TCU
     With Leon Hall tearing his Achilles twice and getting lucky with Newman and Pac Man Jones, the Bengals have to use this pick on a Cornerback. I've seen Bradley Roby here a lot, but I think the Bengals smarten up here and stray away from his arrest.
25.San Diego Chargers- Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State
     The Chargers do need an upgrade here, and there are no good Corners to take either, their biggest problem. I think Chargers go with the safety pick and take Jernigan. I think they will go for the Florida product over Nix, the better product because typically Florida produces better players.
26.Cleveland Browns- Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
     I recently said Carr would go fourth to the Browns. I think they wise up and take him at 26. They immediately upgrade their offense with a new QB and WR, along with having Josh Gordon.
27.New Orleans Saints- Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
     Shazier here makes the most economical sense here. They need upgrades at other positions, but taking Shazier is the better prospect than any other pick they could make.
28.Carolina Panthers- Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
     The Panther's wide receivers are a complete joke. They have to take one with this pick. Cooks has good movement, speed, and will fit nicely with Cam Newton. Also a good pick due to his special teams play.
29.New England Patriots- Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
     Nix fits into the Patriots system. He will become the replacement to Wilfork, built similarly as well. He is a big guy that will get the job done.
30.San Francisco 49ers- Marqise Lee, WR, Southern California
     The 49ers definitely need a long term solution to wide receiver. The skinny Lee would be a good investment. He has ability that San Fran could groom for 2-3 years down the road.
31.Denver Broncos- Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
     After overhauling their defense, I think Denver makes a pick for their offensive line. With Beadles gone, I think they make this pick to replace him in the future. Kouandjio is a good prospect and fits the bill.
32.Seattle Seahawks- Ra'Shede Hageman, DE, Minnesota
     He has the size and speed that Seattle always likes. They also love their pass rushers. Hageman would be a safe pick to make at this position.
