The 2019 NFL Draft moves into its second night on Friday, April 26, 2019 (4/26/19) with Rounds 2 and 3 in Nashville, Tennessee. As the second round starts, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, Oklahoma tackle Cody Ford, Florida tackle Jawaan Taylor, LSU cornerback Greedy Williams and Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf are undrafted. The draft concludes Saturday, April 27, 2019 (4/27/19) with Rounds 4 to 7. *** UPDATE: Arizona Cardinals QB Josh Rosen was traded to the Miami Dolphins before the 62nd pick. We’ll have pick-by-pick (and trade-by-trade) updates in Round 2 as they happen, with analysis and grades. The second round begins at 7 p.m. EDT. Second round draft order: 33. Arizona Cardinals Pick: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington Analysis: Wide receiver was a bigger need, but Murphy was considered a first-round talent and the best player not taken in the first round. Grade: A Scouting report from Bob McGinn Football: Third-year sophomore bypassed two seasons of eligibility. “He’s Janoris Jenkins,” said one scout. “He’s got elite burst, twitch, explosiveness. I know he doesn’t have it from a speed standpoint. The guys he’ll be matched up against, he’ll be fine because he knows how to play and protect his cushion and get in and out of (breaks). He’s built for the game the way it’s played now with quarterbacks having to get the ball out of their hand fast. He can man mirror. He can play off. Reminds me of Cortland Finnegan. He was a 4.5 guy but the way he played you couldn’t tell because he stuck on guys.” Gained 14 pounds from his playing weight during the season to the combine. “Needs to get tougher,” said a second scout. “Real good athlete. He’s better than Kevin King (former Washington teammate). He’s not as explosive as (Jaire) Alexander.” After red-shirting in 2016, he missed half of the ’17 season because of a broken foot. “He’s super talented but his deal is he just hasn’t played that much,” a third scout said. Finished with 74 tackles (seven for loss), six interceptions and 20 passes broken up (PBUs). Scored 12 on the Wonderlic intelligence test. “Father’s been in prison and brother is in prison for armed robbery,” said a fourth scout. “Moved around a lot when he was young. You talk about a tough life.” From Scottsdale, Ariz. Cardinals can't find a trade partner at No. 33, so they take CB Byron Murphy. — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) April 26, 2019 34. Indianapolis Colts Pick: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple Analysis: Here coms the run on defensive backs. Another potential first-rounder, Ya Sin had a great year at Temple after transferring from Presbyterian College. Grade: A Scouting report from Bob McGinn Football: Ever hear of a cornerback that was a state champion wrestler in high school? Meet Ya-Sin, who claimed two titles in Georgia. “You just love his tempo,” one scout said. “He’s a little tight and didn’t run great but he is a quick, good corner.” Played three years at FCS Presbyterian before starting for the Owls in 2018. “He’s really active and tough,” said another scout. “If you’re going to press, that’s your guy. And he’s really tough in run support. Not silky smooth, not naturally fast. He’s more competitive speed. He’s got some limitations. But the way he plays, you can’t help but like him.” Finished with 142 tackles (five for loss), seven interceptions and 31 PBUs. “He’s faster than Josh Jackson,” another scout said of the Packers’ second-round draft choice in 2018. “Jackson was more of a big body without a lot of twitch. He had ball skills and instincts but, on this level, if you can’t run with a guy then you can’t utilize that. I love the way Ya-Sin plays. He’s got transitional quickness and speed in press.” Led the position in the Wonderlic with 31. “He ran (bleep),” a fourth scout said. “Our guys had high 4.5s. I just don’t know how you could validate that in the first round unless it’s a team that’s not concerned with the numbers and the traits. It’s kind of scary.” Born Abdurrahman Ibn Ya-Sin. From Decatur, Ga. Oakland trades: 35, 140, 235. Jaguars trade: 38, 109. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2019 35. Jacksonville Jaguars from Oakland Raiders Pick: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida Analysis: There were a lot of mock drafts who had Taylor going to the Jags at No. 7. Instead they trade up with Raiders and get him at 35. He’s not a left tackle at this level, but might be OK on the right side. Nick Foles hopes he is. Grade: B Scouting report from Bob McGinn Football: Third-year junior. “I don’t know how he fails,” said one scout. “Even with bad technique I think he’s a good player … he’s a right tackle. You may try him on the left but very few have gone from right to left. Completely different skill set. He’s a dynamic, great talent at right tackle, and your right has to be almost as good as your left. Von (Miller) and Khalil Mack come from there.” Good arm length (35 1/8). “He is so overrated,” said another scout. Started 33 games at RT and two on the left. “He wasn’t even good at Florida,” said a third scout. “They had a reject (Montez Ivey) playing left tackle and he played right. He’s D.J. Humphrey Jr. Nice feet and nice movement but it looks like he’s not interested in playing half the time. He’s not physical. The guy refused to run.” Clubs have no 40 time because Taylor wouldn’t run at the combine or pro day. “He’s a big dude that doesn’t move very well, which is going to be a problem,” a fourth scout said. “He’s top-heavy and doesn’t move his feet. He doesn’t slide well. He doesn’t redirect well. If he grabs you and holds you he can maul you some. But even in the run game he just doesn’t have that surge off the ball and ability to position his body and get on top of people. I’m shocked at where he’s supposed to be going, as a top-10 pick. Wow.<doc-sep>The 2019 NFL Draft is underway in Nashville, and FTW’s lead NFL writer Steven Ruiz is grading picks and offering analysis on how each player will fit with his new team. Round 2 No. 48 (from MIA): Erik McCoy, C Texas A&M Analysis: The Saints didn’t have a first-round pick but still ended up with a first-round talent. McCoy is a big center with good movement skills. He’ll be a key figure in the Saints’ screen game, which we know Sean Payton loves. He’ll occupy the void left by Max Unger’s retirement. GRADE: B+<doc-sep>Here we go! The NFL Draft is back tonight for the second and third rounds, and it could continue the wheeling and dealing we saw late in the first round.

Los Angeles Rams (from Atlanta Falcons) - David Long, CB, Michigan<doc-sep>The Saints addressed positions of need with their few draft picks, but there are still some holes in the roster Round 2 NO. 48 Erik McCoy, Center, Texas A&M The Saints were aggressive in the second round of the draft, trading up from the 62nd pick to take Erik McCoy. McCoy is a 6’4”, 315 lbs Center out of Texas A&M. In picking McCoy, the Saints have addressed the need for depth in their offensive line. The Black and Gold already signed former-Viking Nick Easton during the off-season. Now, they’ve added another flexible guard at center to fill the gap that Max Unger left after announcing his retirement following the 2018 season. The Saints swapped second round picks with the Dolphins to take him. Along with that, the Saints gave up one of their two sixth-round picks, plus a second-round pick from next year’s draft. They did get a fourth round pick in return though. Round 4 NO. 105, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Safety, Florida The Saints traded up again in the fourth round to secure Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, a safety from the University of Florida. The Saints swapped picks with the New York Jets for a shot at Gardner-Johnson, who was selected to the AP All Bowl team this past season. New Orleans also gave its only fifth-round pick to the Jets for the upgrade. Gardner-Johnson recorded 71 tackles, including nine tackles for loss to go with his three sacks. He also led the Gators with four interceptions. Round 6 NO. 177, Saquan Hampton, Safety, Rutgers The Saints drafted a second safety Saturday, adding Saquan Hampton out of Rutgers with the 177th overall pick in the sixth round of the draft. Hampton measures in at 6'1", 206-pounds and had 64 tackles and three interceptions in 2018. The Saints obtained the 177th pick in a trade with the New York Jets last off-season for QB Teddy Bridgewater in exchange for their third-round pick. Round 7 NO. 231, Alize Mack, Tight End, Notre Dame The New Orleans Saints added depth at tight end in the 7th round with Alize Mack. Mack caught 36 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns during his senior season. He’ll join Pro Bowl tight end Jared Cook on the Saints roaster after Ben Watson retired during the offseason. NO. 244, Kaden Ellis, Linebacker, Idaho The Saints wrapped up their draft on defense with Idaho linebacker Kaden Elliss.<doc-sep>
How will the Dolphins use their picks in the 2019 NFL draft? We're breaking down every selection. The Miami Dolphins have undergone a complete transformation heading into 2019 after ending the 2018 season with a 7–9 record. The Dolphins traded quarterback Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans, getting a 2020 fourth round pick and a seventh round pick in this year's draft in exchange. Miami also hired Brian Flores to serve as the team's new head coach. With holes up and down the roster, the Dolphins make a great target for teams looking to trade up from the 20s, as this draft is an opportunity to collect as much talent as possible. During last year's draft, Miami selected safety Minkah Fitzpatrick with the 11th-overall pick. How will they use their picks in this year's NFL draft? We’re breaking down every selection below. (Check out draft needs for all 32 teams.) Here's the full list of picks the Dolphins hold in the 2019 draft, which will be updated as each selection is made. Round 1, Pick 13 (No. 13 overall): Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson Andy Benoit's grade: B- This is a fascinating selection: Presumably, new Dolphins head coach Brian Flores will run the Patriots-style scheme that he has spent his entire career teaching. Wilkins has the size that the scheme demands, but stylistically, his game is built more on quickness and movement than raw power. Perhaps Flores envisions Wilkins filling the Trey Flowers role. The two have different body types, but Flowers always thrived on the stunts and twists that Wilkins seems tailor-made to execute. Round 3, Pick 15 (No. 78 overall): Michael Deiter, G, Wisconsin Andy Benoit's grade: A+ Deiter started all four years at Wisconsin (after redshirting) and should start in Year One with the Dolphins, who had iffy backups Chris Reed and Isaac Asiata penciled in at left guard. Deiter is a strong, nasty competitor who also has versatility. Round 5, Pick 13 (No. 151 overall): Andrew Van Ginkel, LB, Wisconsin Round 6, Pick 30 (No. 202 overall): Isaiah Prince, T, Ohio State Round 7, Pick 19 (No. 233 overall): Chandler Cox, RB, Auburn Round 7, Pick 20 (No. 234 overall): Myles Gaskin, RB, Washington See every NFL team's 2019 picks by clicking the links below.
