Winners of the 2nd Day of the Draft from Friday Night
St. Louis - CB Lamarcus Joyner & RB Tre Mason
St. Louis needed to go out and grab players who could take pressure off Sam Bradford. Since they got a LT to protect Bradford in the 1st round, they were freed up to look for some more impact players to put around Bradford. I love both of these picks, Joyner in the 2nd, Mason in the 3rd. Joyner is an absolute steal IMO. He has the tools to become a solid CB, and he is very needed in the NFC West, Let's be honest. Tre Mason will either be a great success, or a bust, no in between. I don't believe Mason was good enough to be drafted this year, but this is a smart pick to me. Go get a playmaker from the SEC, put him with his own LT, and see what could happen. The Rams nailed the second day of the Draft.

Philadelphia - WR Jordan Matthews & WR Josh Huff
Chip Kelly has the Eagles set up to become an Elite team next year. I was a little shocked when they didn't take a wide receiver in the 1st round, but i can see why they waited. They got two value receivers 50% off. Josh Huff, a dependable receiver out of Oregon, will come right back to the coach he started college with. Kelly will make him work in his system, especially with Nick FOles behind center. Jordan Matthews was good enough to get drafted in the late first round. He is a possession receiver that will catch the ball, even if he has to puke on the field after(actually happened b/c of concussion). This will be a guy that can get two feet down in the end zone as time expires. Great couple of draft picks.

Houston - TE C.J. Fiedorowicz, DT Louis Nix III & OG Xavier Su'a-Filo
I can't believe i'm going to write this, but Louis Nix III (Notre Dame) is the only reason Houston is a winner. Don't get me wrong, the other two picks are solid players that fit the need of the Texans. But Nix has the potential to be one of the greatest steals of this decade. He is a massive DT who is a force down in the trenches. Not only did the Texans get a good player, they got the perfect guy to complete the DL. You're telling me that a team will have to face Nix III in the middle, not to mention J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney at the ends. All of them bull rushing at you. No thank you. I can't wait to see the Texans play next year.

Baltimore - DT Timmy Jernigan, S Terrence Brooks & TE Crockett Gillmore
Baltimore has been a consistently tough defensive team for almost two decades now. No surprise that they would take a couple defensive guys. They decided to take two guys off Natty Champ Florida State, which i have no problem with. Terrence Brooks is a great player who will fit right in with the Ravens. Safety was a huge need coming in to the draft, they no longer have Ed Reed. Big ol' Timmy Jernigan is another big guy used to being a force down low. Baltimore DL has been decimated in recent years, which is why i like this pick. The one problem i have with Jernigan is his conditioning. Once the 4th quarter started in the BCS Championship last year, he barely played because he was so winded. If he can work hard at being able to play the full 60 minutes, then i think he can be a successful run stopper in the NFL.

Oakland - QB Derek Carr & OG Gabe Jackson
Oakland finally made one pick that i agree with. Derek Car could have been taken in the first round, but i have no problem with him being taken in the second. I only watched one of is games last year, but i could tell he is something special. I know all the haters out there compare him to his brother, but he is not his brother, and he didn't get drafted by an expansion team that had yet to play a game. The Raiders just traded for Matt Schaub, someone Carr can sit behind for a year or two and learn from. No pressure, just learn. This is the perfect situation for Derek and the Raiders. Derek can ease into the league, while the Raiders can get a potential future QB with a low risk investment.
