After an eventful opening night at the 2019 NFL Draft, we’re back to grade and analyze all of the picks in rounds 2 and 3. Picks will be graded on a number of factors, including value, need and scheme fit. While you’re here, check out our grades for all of the picks in the first round. Now, let’s grade some picks… Round 2 33. Cardinals: Byron Murphy, CB Washington Analysis: Tremendous value for the Cardinals, who got the best quarterback on night one and the best zone cornerback at the top of the second round. Murphy lacks the long speed to be a true lockdown corner, but he has a nose for the ball and will cause turnovers. If Arizona holds onto Patrick Peterson (and they should) teams will no longer be able to pick on the Cardinals’ No. 2 corner. They’re getting good value here, but Greedy Williams would’ve been a better pick. GRADE: B 34. Colts: Rock Ya-Sin, CB Temple Analysis: Not sure about the scheme fit here. The Colts run a lot of zone coverage and Rock Ya-Sin is more of a man corner. But maybe Indy is planning on manning up more often in 2019. If that’s the case, this is a solid pick. Though, again, Greedy Williams may have been a better option, but the Colts want their corners to tackle and that’s not Williams’ strength. Grade: B 35. Jaguars (from OAK): Jawaan Taylor, OT Florida Analysis: A lot of draft experts had Jawaan Taylor mocked to the Jaguars in the top-10. They got him in the second. There are medical concerns, but Taylor is a powerful run blocker with enough athleticism to develop into a dominant pass protector. Just what the Jags wanted and needed. Grade: A- Oakland trades: 35, 140, 235. Jaguars trade: 38, 109. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2019 36. 49ers: Deebo Samuel, WR South Carolina Analysis: I love the player, but I’m not so high on the value. Especially with a number of good receiver prospects, including D.K. Metcalf, on the board. But the 49ers are getting a good route runner with contested catch ability who also offers YAC and return ability. Kyle Shanahan is going to turn him into a star. I just wonder if San Francisco could have traded down and still landed him. Grade: B 37. Panthers: Greg Little, OT Ole Miss Analysis: The Panthers had to get some protection for Cam Newton, but the price for trading up 10 spots (a third-rounder) to get Greg Little was a bit steep. Greg Little is a good mover with ideal size. He’ll either be a dominant tackle or a massive disappointment. There is no in between. Grade: C+ Seahawks trade: Pick 37. Panthers trade: Pick 47, Pick 77. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2019 38. Bills (from OAK): Cody Ford, OT Oklahoma Analysis: Man, I love what the Bills are doing. That’s a sentence I didn’t expect to be typing this weekend, but here we are. After landing a top-five value in Ed Oliver on Thursday night, they go and get a first-round talent on the second day. Cody Ford is a nasty run-blocker who has no issues in pass protection. Buffalo drafted him as a tackle, but he can kick inside to guard depending on their needs. Grade: A Buffalo trades: Pick 40, pick 158. Oakland trades: Pick 38. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2019 39. Buccaneers: Sean Bunting, CB Central Michigan Analysis: I’m at a loss. It’s not just that the Bucs passed on the draft’s best man cover corner (Greedy Williams), but they also passed on several other cornerback prospects with better film against better competition in order to draft Sean Bunting. He’s a great athlete with good coverage skills, but this is a bad value. A trade down would have been a smarter move. This cornerback group is deep. Grade: D+ 40. Raiders: Trayvon Mullen, CB Clemson Analysis: The run on corners continues! Trayvon Mullen’s game needs some polishing, but he profiles as a good cover corner. I just think these coaches are putting too much stock in how these corners tackle, which explains Greedy Williams’ fall. Mullen will tackle, that’s for sure. Grade: C 41. Broncos: Dalton Risner, OT Kansas State Analysis: No-brainer pick for a team that needed offensive line help. Dalton Risner can play tackle or guard. Wherever he plays, he’s going to punish defensive players who enter his crosshairs. He’ll start from Day 1, and won’t come out of the lineup for the next decade. John Elway also gets credit for not taking Drew Lock, who has bust written all over him. Grade: A 42. Broncos (from CIN): Drew Lock, QB Missouri Analysis: Whoops. Spoke too soon. I suppose the Broncos think they’re getting good value here because a lot of people did expect Drew Lock to go in the first round. Lock is a mess in the pocket, he makes reckless decisions and he isn’t very accurate. In other words, he’s the perfect John Elway pick. Grade: D Bengals trade: Pick 42 Broncos trade: Picks 52, 125, 182 — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2019 43. Lions: Jahlani Tavai, LB Hawaii Analysis: I get that Matt Patricia wants versatile defenders on his defense, and Jahlani Tavai is certainly that. But you have to think the Lions could’ve moved down and still picked up the Hawaii product. Run-first linebackers aren’t exactly a hot commodity. Like the fit; I’m not so sure about the value. Grade: C- 44. Packers: Elgton Jenkins, G Mississippi State Analysis: Elgton Jenkins was announced as a guard, which is interesting because he played center in college. A position change is coming, but Jenkins can handle it. He’s at his best in pass protection, which will make Aaron Rodgers a happy man. Grade: B+ 45. Patriots (from LAR): JoeJuan Williams, CB Vanderbilt Analysis: Joejuan Williams needs to be coached up, but what a better place to land than New England? Bill Belichick will make sure the big, physical corner will play a role he’s comfortable in. His man/zone versatility will be a game-planning asset, which we know Belichick appreciates. Grade: B Rams trade: Pick 45. Patriots trade: Pick 56, Pick 101. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 27, 2019 46. Browns (from IND): Greedy Williams, CB LSU Analysis: NFL teams seem dead-set on helping the Browns build a dominant roster. First, the Giants give them Odell Beckham Jr. for peanuts, and now these teams let Greedy Williams fall in their laps. Williams isn’t a tackler, but he’s the best cover corner in the class, which is really the only thing that matters for corners. Crazy thought, I know. Williams has the tools to develop into an elite cover man. He has long speed, fluid hips and good instincts. Grade: A+ Colts trade: Pick 46. Browns trade: Pick 49, 144. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 27, 2019 47. Seahawks: Marquis Blair, S Utah Analysis: This is an ideal defensive back for Pete Carroll. He’s big and he has good speed. He’s not Earl Thomas — so don’t expect him to be a centerfield type — but the Seahawks have been deviating from their staple Cover 3 coverages, so that’s not a huge concern. And he does have range, plus a physical play style. He’ll make Seattle’s defense better. Grade: B+ 48. Saints (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+ Dolphins trade: Pick 48, 116. Saints trade: Pick 62, 202 and a 2020 second round pick. — Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 27, 2019 49. Colts: Ben Banogu, Edge TCU Analysis: Had Ben Banogu been a better run defender, he may have been a first-round pick after blowing up the combine. But who cares about run defense in 2019? Today’s NFL is about stopping the pass, and the explosive Banogu will help the Colts do that. Another smart pickup for Chris Ballard. Grade: B+ 50. Vikings: Irv Smith Jr., TE Alabama Analysis: I don’t know how you’re going to cover the Vikings. Irv Smith Jr., a slick route-runner with ball tracking skills, joins Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen in a loaded receiving corps. On top of that, drafting Smith allows Minnesota to move on from free-agent-to-be Kyle Rudolph. Grade: A- 51. Titans: A.J. Brown, WR Ole Miss Analysis: A steal.The Titans needed a receiver who could get open consistently, and there isn’t a better route-runner in the draft. And A.J. Brown can make plays downfield, as well, so he’s not your typical slot guy. Grade: A 52. Bengals: Drew Sample, TE Washington Analysis: New Bengals coach Zac Taylor, one of the million Sean McVay disciples out there now, needs a good blocking tight end to run his scheme at a high level. Drew Sample will give him that, but are we really using second-round picks on blocking tight ends? Maybe Sample will prove me wrong and develop into an impact pass-catcher, which he’ll have to do for this pick to make sense, but it’s a longshot. Grade: C- 53. Eagles: Miles Sanders, RB Penn State Analysis: He’s not Saquon Barkley, but Miles Sanders is a strong runner with good testing numbers. I’m not sure he’s the best compliment to Jordan Howard — I would have preferred more of a receiving threat — but Sanders can play on third downs because of his pass blocking skills. Grade: C+ 54. Texans: Lonnie Johnson, CB Kentucky Analysis: Lonnie Johnson has all the tools to be a good NFL cornerback, but his tape is … not great. There are some embarrassing reps on all over it. Maybe the Texans coaching staff will unlock his potential but this was a risky pick. Grade: D+ 55: Texans: Max Scharping, OT Northern Illinois Analysis: I actually like this pick more than Houston’s first-round pick. The Texans needed to address the offensive line, and they’ve done so in the first two picks. My only concern is that both Tytus Howard and Max Scharping are projects, and Deshaun Watson needs more protection now. Grade: B- 56. Chiefs: Mecole Hardman, WR Georgia Analysis: After losing Chris Conley and what is happening with Tyreek Hill right now, the Chiefs needed to replenish the speed in their receiving corps. Mecole Hardman isn’t Hill, but he has a similar skill-set. That will help Kansas City move on from the troubled receiver. Still, you have to wonder if the Chiefs really needed to trade up to land a receiver. Grade: B- 57. Eagles: J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR Stanford Analysis: This is a better pick than the Eagles’ last one. Before the draft, I compared J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to Alshon Jeffery, so this is obviously a good fit and one that will help the Eagles’ cap situation down the road. Philadelphia is officially the most difficult team to defend in the red zone with Arcega-Whiteside., Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert and Jeffrey on the roster. Grade: A 56. Cowboys: Trystan Hill, DT UCF Analysis: Here’s your David Irving replacement, Cowboys fans. Trystan Hill produced dominant film at UCF and he’s only getting better. He’s a strong pass rusher who lives in the backfield, and he might be a better pro than college player. Playing under one of the best defensive line coaches in NFL history, Rod Marinelli, will aid his development. Grade: B+ 59. Colts: Parris Campbell, WR Ohio State Analysis: I’m not in love with Parris Campbell, but, at this spot, the Colts are getting decent value here. Campbell is speedster with good YAC ability, but I don’t know if he can get open — he didn’t run a lot of routes at Ohio State — and his hands aren’t great. I do, however, trust Frank Reich to get the most out of him. I’m just worried he’s Tavon Austin. Grade: C+ 60. Chargers: Nasir Adderley, FS Delaware Analysis: For a second consecutive year, NFL teams let a promising safety prospect just fall to the Chargers. In 2018, it was Derwin James.<doc-sep>We may have only seen two Ohio State players taken in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but it was a big two that resulted in some pretty big bragging rights. With Nick Bosa being selected No. 2 by the San Francisco 49ers and Dwayne Haskins No. 15 by the Washington Redskins, the Buckeye football program has tied USC for the most first-round draft picks in the history of the NFL Draft at 81 each. It’s just another feather in the cap for one of the all-time historical programs in college football, and another selling point for all those recruits looking to make their mark in Columbus and head to the NFL. The list of all-time first rounders heading into today was publicized on Twitter by @BuckeyeNotes just before the start of all the festivities tonight. Tonight! @OhioStateFB seeks No. 1 status in 1st-round NFL Draft Picks all-time. Most 1st-Round NFL Draft Picks 1. USC – 81 2. Ohio State – 79 3. N. Dame – 68 4. Miami – 63 5. Alabama – 59 6. Florida – 52 7. Tennessee – 46 Oklahoma – 46 9. Michigan – 45 10. Texas – 44 FSU – 44 — Jerry Emig (@BuckeyeNotes) April 25, 2019 As you can see there’s a big gap between OSU and USC and the rest of the college football world. We know the Trojans didn’t have anyone selected in the first round, and we’re fairly certain Notre Dame didn’t have thirteen players stand out Thursday night, so the record appears to be safe for now. And at the pace Ohio State is churning out top-end draft picks as of late, there’s a good chance it takes sole possession of the answer to that trivia question next year.<doc-sep>
Devin Bush is a linebacker from Michigan who was named the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year in 2018. (0:44) We tracked every first-round trade made leading up to and during the 2019 NFL draft. Here are all of the latest draft-day deals. Follow along with every round here, and track the best available prospects here. Draft-day trades The Pittsburgh Steelers moved up in the draft to select Devin Bush, an athletic, sub-240-pound linebacker who has elite closing speed and toughness. The Michigan linebacker diagnoses quickly and finds the ball -- he collected 194 career tackles, including 19.5 for loss and 10 sacks. The Broncos received the Steelers' No. 20 pick and No. 52 pick in addition to Pittsburgh's third-round selection in 2020, a source told ESPN's Field Yates. SEA trades No. 21 to GB The Green Bay Packers moved up to get safety help in Darnell Savage Jr., who has top-tier speed, awareness, coverage skills and quick-twitch agility. The Seattle Seahawks were had only five picks coming into the draft and multiple needs. The Packers traded picks No. 30 (first round), No. 114 (fourth) and No. 118 (fourth). BAL trades No. 22 to PHI The Philadelphia Eagles want to keep quarterback Carson Wentz upright and traded up to do it. Dillard has a coveted skill set in pass protection with his footwork and quickness. The Baltimore Ravens received the No. 25 pick (first round), No. 125 (fourth) and No. 197 (sixth). IND trades No. 26 to WAS The Washington Redskins traded up to get defensive end Montez Sweat, who was timed faster than 31 of the wide receivers who ran the 40-yard dash at the combine. The Indianapolis Colts traded their first-round pick for the No. 46 overall pick in the second round and a 2020 second-round pick. Colts general manager Chris Ballard hinted of a possible trade on his way out of his pregame news conference Monday. "We'll be together Thursday," he said then. "Or maybe not. Maybe we’ll be together Friday.” The Colts will have the Nos. 34, 46 and 59 picks in the second round Friday. SEA trades No. 30 to NYG The New York Giants moved up to select cornerback Deandre Baker, whose ability to diagnose routes and desire to compete cannot be understated. Baker didn't give up any touchdowns in coverage the past two seasons at Georgia. The Seahawks got the Nos. 37, 132 and 142 picks in return. LAR trades No. 31 to ATL The Falcons made the move to draft Kaleb McGary, an offensive tackle. He was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia early in his college career but had it corrected and went on to start 47 games for Washington. The Rams traded the No. 31 and No. 203 picks for the Falcons' No. 45 and No. 79 picks. Pre-draft trades These are the trades made leading up to the NFL draft, beginning with the most recent: The Kansas City Chiefs added a significant piece to their defensive rebuild during draft week by trading a pair of draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for defensive end Frank Clark, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Chiefs parted with their first-round draft choice, and the teams will exchange third-round picks. The Chiefs also will send the lower of their two 2020 second-round draft picks to the Seahawks. The New York Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster deal in March. The Giants received the Browns' first-round pick and second third-round pick (95th overall), along with safety Jabrill Peppers. The Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders for a 2019 first-round pick in October. "I hate to see good players go, but I was on the practice field when [former GM Reggie McKenzie] came to me and said the Cowboys would do this for a No. 1, and I said, 'Let's do it,'" Raiders coach Jon Gruden told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The Chicago Bears gave up first-round picks in 2019 and 2020, a third-round pick in 2020 and a sixth-round pick in 2019 to acquire pass-rusher Khalil Mack from the Oakland Raiders in September 2018. In return, the Bears also received a second-round pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2020. The New Orleans Saints made a major trade in the 2018 NFL draft to move up in the first round to select defensive end Marcus Davenport with the 14th overall pick. The Saints traded their first-round pick (No.
