No. 19 pick Washington Artists formerly known as Redskins select: Jamin Davis, LB Kentucky

No. 20 New York Football Tinys select: Kadarius Toney WR, Florida

No. 21 pick Indianapolis Colts select: Kwity Paye DE, Michigan
Quick thoughts: Paye will be on the other side of DeForest Buckner for the Colts D-line and should be a solid d-lineman for them.

No. 22 pick Tennessee Titans select: Caleb Farley CB, Virginia Tech
Quick thoughts: One of the best CBs in the whole draft, the reason he fell this far is due to numerous back injuries he suffered. If he can stay healthy, this will turn out to be a fantastic pick by the Titans. If not? Well....

No. 23 pick Minnesota Vikings select: Christian Darisaw, T Virigina Tech

No. 24 pick Pittsburgh Steelers select: Najee Harris RB, Alabama
Quick thoughts: Najee Harris is going to turn out to be one of the best picks in this draft. He was an incredible running back at Alabama and I expect Pro Bowls in his future. Fantastic pick by the Steelers.

No. 25 pick Jacksonville Jaguars select: Travis Etienne RB, Clemson
Quick thoughts: Etienne is the best RB in draft class IMO. He was an excellent player at Clemson and someone who single highhandedly helped them win games when Lawrence had COVID-19. Now that he and Lawrence are together in the NFL? A fabulous college combination will turn into a fabulous professional combination. Amazing pick by the Jaguars.
P.S. I can't wait for the Jaguars-Bengals game this season. A rematch between some of the best Clemson players and LSU players who played against each other in the 2020 National Championship Game. Cat vs Cat. Tiger vs Tiger. Jaguars vs Bengals.

No. 27 pick Baltimore Ravens select: Rashod Bateman WR, Minnesota
Quick thoughts: Bateman was a member of the very good 2019 Gophers team and had a very good 2019 season. 2020 was mediocre, but hopefully for the Ravens they get his 2019 form.

No. 29 pick Green Bay Packers select: Eric Stokes CB, Georgia
Quick thoughts: Regardless of how good Stokes ends up being, Rodgers will be unhappy that this pick wasn't a WR, sooo....

No. 31 pick Baltimore Ravens select: Jayson Oweh LB, Penn State
Quick thoughts: Oweh is a physical freak and if the Ravens can maximize his physical talent this should turn from an OK pick to a great pick.

My thoughts on various picks from the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft:
No. 34 pick New York Jets select: Elijah Moore WR, Ole Miss
Quick thoughts: Ole Miss has become a WR factory in recent years and with the QB/O-lineman combination in the first round getting Moore in the second round was a good pick by the Jets.
No. 35 pick Atlanta Falcons trade to Denver Broncos who select: Javonte Williams RB, North Carolina
Quick thoughts: Williams was a flat out baller for the Tar Heels last season and I think he will produce good numbers for the Broncos. Solid pick by the Broncos.
No. 43 pick San Francisco 49ers trade to Las Vegas Raiders who select: Trevon Moehrig S, TCU
Quick thoughts: Moehrig falls to the second round and the Raiders get a steal in Moehrig was the best safety in the draft according to numerous experts. I like this pick by the Raiders.
No. 46 pick New England Patriots trade to Cincinnati Bengals who select: Jackson Carman OT, Clemson
Quick thoughts: Carman was a great offensive lineman for the Clemson Tigers and I think he'll be great for the Bengals. Great pick.
No 49. pick Arizona Cardinals select: Rondale Moore WR, Purdue
Quick thoughts: Moore was an awesome receiver for the Boilermakers until he suffered injuries the last couple seasons. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and be a speed demon for Kliff Kingsbury's offense.
No. 59 pick Cleveland Browns trade to Carolina Panthers who select: Terrace Marshall Jr. WR, LSU
Quick thoughts: I'm shocked Marshall fell this far. Sam Darnold is going to be thrilled to have him as a weapon. Fantastic pick by the Panthers.
No. 64 pick Tommy Bay Buccaneers select: Kyle Trask QB, Florida
Quick thoughts: Trask was a Heisman finalist and would have won it if not for some poor play down the stretch. Regardless, he has the potential to be a quality successor to Tom Brady. Quality pick.

No. 66 pick New York Jets trade to Minnesota Vikings who select: Kellen Mond QB, Texas A&M
Quick thoughts: Mond was a 5 star recruit coming out of high school and never truly lived up to that billing. With that said he is a smart football guy and after playing in the NFL for a few seasons as a backup 3rd stringer he'll be a graduate assistant for A&M or become an assistant coach in the NFL. Top of the 3rd round is high IMO.
No. 69 pick Cincinnati Bengals select Joseph Ossai DE, Texas
Quick thoughts: Ossai was CRAZY GOOD for the Longhorns and he was much respected by the Longhorn faithful and Big 12 football fans everywhere. I think this will go down as one of the best picks in Day 2 of this draft.

No. 85 pick Tennessee Titans trade to Green Bay Packers who select: Amari Rogers WR, Clemson
Quick thoughts: Rogers was one of Lawrence's favorite weapons at Clemson and I think he'll end up being one of Aaron Rodg...er Jordan Love's favorite weapons with the Packers.
