10th Annual Football Garbage Time Twitter NFL Mock Draft! – Round 2

45 – New Orleans Saints (from the Denver Broncos)

Pick: Jordan Morgan – OT (Arizona)

Staff: Ryan Whitfield

46 – Indianapolis Colts

Pick: Ja’Lynn Polk – WR (Washington)

Staff: Dan Thury

47 – New York Giants

Pick: Kamren Kinchens – S (Miami)

Staff: George Templeton

A lot of good receivers that might’ve slipped to the Giants at 44 didn’t so why not a ball-hawking safety with proven production. Giants secondary has struggled and Kamren Kinchens, with 11 interceptions in his career and a first-team Associated Press all-American award to his name, will be an upgrade for them. Kinchens is a play-maker who will be a huge asset in help coverage against the many excellent wide receivers in the NFC East.

48 – Jacksonville Jaguars

Pick: Keon Coleman – WR (Michigan State)

Staff: Jordan Alexander

49 – Cincinnati Bengals

Pick: T’Vondre Sweat – DT (Texas)

Staff: Ha Kung Wong

The Bengals defense have recently been of the “bend-but-don’t-break” variety, but much of that is built on good coverage and pressure on the line. To avoid having Joe Burrow having to play superman in every game, the Bengals need to generate more pressure on defense, and T’Vondre Sweat may be just what they need. The Bengals spent one of their official pre-draft 30 visits on Sweat based on his college performance and potential.

In 2022, Sweat played in all 13 games and totaled 30 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 4 pass breakups, resulting in an honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference. He stepped up even bigger in 2023 playing in all 14 games totaling 45 tackles, eight tackles for loss, two sacks, four pass breakups, one blocked kick, which resulted in him winning numerous accolades including the Outland Trophy given to the nation’s top interior lineman. The main issue is his off field concerns, particularly since he was arrested for a DWI in early April. But honestly, the Cowboys aren’t usually concerned with off field issues, and so long as they can control that, they have a huge DL who will require multiple bodies to block.

50 – Philadelphia Eagles (from the New Orleans Saints)

Pick: Edgerrin Cooper – LB (Texas A&M)

Staff: George Templeton

Philadelphia needs a lot of help on defense, especially there back 7. To get a linebacker like Edgerrin Cooper at 50 is a coup.

Eight sacks and 17 tackles for loss and was named an Associated Press All-American in 2023. Plug and play LB who will give the Eagles defense some much needed bite.

51 – Pittsburgh Steelers

Pick: Ricky Pearsall – WR (Florida)

Staff: Joanne Kong

Currently, George Pickens is the only starting receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers thus making the wide receiver position a necessity for the Steelers this draft. With a deep wide receiver class, the Steelers should be able to find a starting caliber rookie receiver in the second round.

Ricky Pearsall is that wide receiver. At 6 feet and 1 inch, Pearsall has good length extending for the ball when fighting off defenders and speed once in stride. With the ability to handle the ball and comfort making adjustments, Pearsall is excellent target who also is an impressive route runner with the ability to fake out defenders. All qualities of a rookie starter which the Steelers will need to build this upcoming season.

52 – Los Angeles Rams

Pick: Jermaine Burton – WR (Alabama)

Staff: Scott King

The Rams add more weapons with a solid WR in Burton, giving Stafford more weapons.
