33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonathan Cooper, G/C, North Carolina
    Jonathan Cooper can play both guard and center, which has to appeal to the Jaguars because they need both. Left guard Eben Britton, a free agent in March, has been benched twice this season. Center Brad Meester, whose contract also expires after this year, will turn 36 soon.

34. Kansas City Chiefs: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
    Kansas City's new quarterback will need a new receiver if Dwayne Bowe leaves. I wouldn't spend the money on Bowe; he's overrated because he's inconsistent and piles up most of his stats in garbage time. He was responsible for both of Matt Cassel's interceptions against the Ravens.
    
    
35. Carolina Panthers: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
    The Panthers will need some cornerback help this offseason. Captain Munnerlyn will be a free agent, while rookie Josh Norman has yet to prove that he can be a quality starter in the NFL.
    
    Pick change; previously Carrington Byndom, CB
    
    
    
    
    
36. Tennessee Titans: Dallas Thomas, OT/G, Tennessee
    Will the Titans finally upgrade the interior of their offensive line, or are they content with Chris Johnson gaining just 2.9 yards per carry unless he's playing the Bills?
    
    
37. Washington Redskins: Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
    The Redskins absolutely need to do something about the safety position. Eli Manning just needed two plays to score the game-winning touchdown several weeks ago. Even Armanti Edwards looked great against them.
    
    Pick change; previously Desmond Trufant, CB
    
    
38. Cincinnati Bengals: T.J. McDonald, S, USC
    The Bengals had a big need at safety, but they didn't address the position until the fifth round this past April. They'll put more effort into finding an upgrade the following offseason because they won't survive with Reggie Nelson and the recently benched Taylor Mays (for cornerback Nate Clements, who is playing out of position) as their starters.
    
    
39. Buffalo Bills: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
    The Bills drafted a quarterback in the first round, so they'll need to find a weapon for him. Steve Johnson is currently the only downfield play-maker on Buffalo's roster.
    
    
40. Philadelphia Eagles: Matt Elam, S, Florida
    Kurt Coleman beat out Jaiquwan Jarrett, who was recently waived. Coleman's not any good, despite his two picks of Brandon Weeden, so the Eagles will have to look for another solution.
    
    Pick change; previously Tony Jefferson, S
    
    
41. New York Jets: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
    The Jets have dire issues at right tackle that need to be addressed. Mark Sanchez stinks, but he doesn't even have a chance with Austin Howard blocking for him.
    
    Pick change; previously Kenny Vaccaro, S
    
    
42. Dallas Cowboys: Corey Lemonier, DE/OLB, Auburn
    Anthony Spencer has played well when healthy this year, but he'll be a free agent this March who will be difficult to retain. If he leaves, the Cowboys will have to find a worthy complement across from DeMarcus Ware.
    
    Pick change; previously Sheldon Richardson, DE/DT
    
    
    
    
    
43. St. Louis Rams: Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
    Jeff Fisher loves having defensive line depth, but his team is currently lacking that right now. Why not take one of the top players available to fill that void?
    
    Pick change; previously D.J. Fluker, OT
    
    
44. Cincinnati Bengals: Chase Thomas, DE/OLB, Stanford
    Another linebacker. The Bengals were able to upgrade Rey Maualuga in the first round. Chase Thomas would help with Manny Lawson leaves via free agency. He could also rush the passer on third downs if Michael Johnson also moves on.
    
    Pick change; previously Corey Lemonier, DE/OLB
    
    
45. Arizona Cardinals: E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida State
    The Cardinals have to do something about the quarterback position. Kevin Kolb can't ever stay healthy, while John Skelton has shown no signs of improvement thus far. In fact, he looks like he's regressed. Is it too late to ask Kurt Warner to come back?
    
    
46. Miami Dolphins: Carrington Byndom, CB, Texas
    The Dolphins have an extra second-day pick because they dealt Vontae Davis to the Colts, so they should probably use one of them on a replacement. Richard Marshall is not playing well.
    
    Pick change; previously David Amerson, CB
    
    
47. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: David Amerson, CB, N.C. State
    The Buccaneers don't ever shy away from doubling up on positions. They may do so at cornerback, as this was a huge area of need even before the Aqib Talib trade.
    
    Pick change; previously Jesse Williams, DT
    
    
48. Detroit Lions: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
    It's no secret that Detroit has major holes in its secondary. The Lions spent an early pick on Bullet Bill Bentley has been a bit of a disappointment thus far. Unfortunately, Detroit won't be able to see what he can do for the rest of the year because he's on injured reserve.
    
    Pick change; previously Tank Carradine, DE
    
    
49. San Diego Chargers: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
    Both Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason will be free agents following this season. The Chargers will have to find some reinforcements at cornerback if they lose either defender.
    
    Pick change; previously Chase Thomas, DE/OLB
    
    
50. Minnesota Vikings: Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford
    The Vikings can do a lot better than Jasper Brinkley at middle linebacker. He's a pretty big liability on their defense. I'd like to give Minnesota a receiver here, but in the wake of Marquess Wilson's defection, any wideout prospect would be a slight reach.
    
    Pick change; previously Marquess Wilson, WR
    
    
    
    
    
51. Seattle Seahawks: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
    Adding play-makers for Russell Wilson has to be a priority for the Seahawks this offseason. Help is also needed at tight end.
    
    
52. Miami Dolphins: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
    Stud defensive tackle Randy Starks will be a free agent in March. If the Dolphins can't retain him, they'll have to find a replacement this offseason.
    
    
53. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
    James Harrison may not be back next year. He'll be due $6.6 million as a 35-year-old who is having trouble staying healthy. The Steelers may spend an early pick on a rush linebacker.
    
    
54. Green Bay Packers: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
    Greg Jennings will be a free agent in March. He's proven to be unreliable in terms of staying healthy, so the Packers may choose not to re-sign him. If so, they may target a receiver early in the 2013 NFL Draft.
    
    
    
    
    
55. New England Patriots: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
    Steve Gregory has predictably been a bust signing thus far. Patrick Chung, meanwhile, will be a free agent this offseason, so if he walks, the Patriots will have a dire need at safety next to Tavon Wilson.
    
    Pick change; previously Travis Frederick, G/C
    
    
56. Denver Broncos: Khaseem Greene, LB, Rutgers
    Is Keith Brooking really a major contributor for the Broncos at middle linebacker? How have teams not exposed this yet? Denver needs a long-term solution at the position.
    
    Pick change; previously Shayne Skov, LB
    
    
57. New York Giants: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
    It's hard to criticize Tom Coughlin because he's had so much success over the years, but benching Sean Locklear in favor of the anemic David Diehl was one of the all-time bone-headed coaching moves in NFL history. Coughlin clearly doesn't like Locklear, who will be a free agent in March.
    
    Pick change; previously Khaseem Greene, LB
    
    
58. San Francisco 49ers: Khaled Holmes, C, USC
    The 49ers could use some help on the offensive line. Khaled Holmes could eventually take over for Jonathan Goodwin, who will be 34 in December.
    
    
59. Baltimore Ravens: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
    The Ravens suddenly have glaring issues at cornerback. Lardarius Webb tore an ACL for the second time in his career, while Cary Williams will be a free agent in March.
    
    Pick change; previously Nickell Robey, CB
    
    
60. Chicago Bears: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
    The Bears obviously need to find multiple upgrades for their struggling offensive line. Travis Frederick can play multiple positions up front.
    
    Pick change; previously Jordan Poyer, CB
    
    
61. Houston Texans: Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
    The Texans were interested in bringing in a right tackle early in the 2012 NFL Draft, but they never got the chance. Well, here's their opportunity. The position will have to be addressed if the currently injured Rashad Butler can't properly fill in for Eric Winston.
    
    Pick change; previously Margus Hunt, DE/DT
    
    
62. Atlanta Falcons: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
    John Abraham was re-signed to a team-friendly deal this offseason, which means the Falcons can cut him if he regresses. Ray Edwards, meanwhile, has been a huge disappointment. Defensive end will be a possibility early in the 2013 NFL Draft.
    
    Pick change; previously Larry Warford, G
