He has exotic and unique blitz packages, and Bain could be a weapon to hunt the quarterback from a variety of spots.
-
The Vikings were without second and fourth-round picks, and surprisingly did not use their first- or third-rounder to add talent to their defense.
-
After Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes flamed out in Green Bay, the Packers have been in the market for some starting outside cornerback talent. They were very fortunate that Cisse made it to their pick
-
One of the biggest differences between the Lions team that went 15-2 in 2024 and the one that went 9-8 in 2025 was the declining play of the offensive line.
-
They saw him as a two-down run-stuffing nose tackle whose game was all power.
-
While Thomas has some speed, he does not have a dominant trait with elite speed or size to consistently get the better of NFL cornerbacks.
-
For the NFL, Stewart is a project that has a ton of upside and potential. As a pass rusher, Stewart is quick off the ball with impressive first-step quickness. Stewart has serious speed to fire upfield and a real burst to close.

I like doing this exercise every year, even though trying to predict Round 2 is even more of a fool's errand than Round 1. Hey, I had 10 player-to-team matches in my Contest Mock, so I guess that wasn't too bad. (I would have done much, much worse with my Version 5.0 Mock, which I didn't bother to change in the last 48 hours or so.)

I didn't publish this before the draft, but this was my Contest entry. Looks like I ended up in 7th place and was live for a prize on the final pick by Seattle. If they had gone with McCoy I think I would have finished in the top 3, and had they picked McDonald I would have gotten 4 points and maybe gotten into the money. I had a horrible start to the top 8 picks (just Mendoza correctly) but after that, I had 9 correct player-team fits: Fano and Concepcion to the Browns, Downs and Lawrence to the Cowboys, Ioane to the Ravens, Cooper to the Jets, Freeling to the Panthers, Mesidor to the Chargers, and Johnson to the Dolphins. I know that on most mock grading systems, you get more credit when you get the right team along with the slot where a player gets taken, so maybe Walt and the site can consider changing the scoring system to allow for credit not merely based on the slotting of the player, but for matching players with teams as well. Anyway, here was my entry.

I could see the Bills falling off. I don't think firing the coach was the right answer and getting something like that wrong can set a team back.
