Here’s the second round of our Updated Post-Free Agency Two-Round NFL Mock Draft.

Round Two

33 — New York Jets: Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald

McDonald is an elite two-gapping run stuffer in the middle, a true plug-and-play at the next level. He’d be a big upgrade in the middle of New York’s defense.

34 — Arizona Cardinals: Missouri ED Zion Young

A powerful edge setter with some great speed to power moves in his arsenal, Young would provide the Cardinals with more muscle in the trenches. This would be a great fit.

35 — Tennessee Titans: Tennessee CB Colton Hood

Low moving costs for Hood here, as he stays in Tennessee. The Titans just need to continue adding talent and Hood is a physically gifted press-man corner.

36 — Las Vegas Raiders: Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson

I have a growing suspicion that Tyson might be treated like Michigan CB Will Johnson was last year, when a top-five talent fell to the second round and was awesome right away. This is a dream scenario for the Raiders if it happens, as Tyson would be an excellent WR1 to pair with Mendoza.

37 — New York Giants: San Diego State CB Chris Johnson

An athletic, savvy zone cornerback, Johnson made himself a lot of money with his testing numbers at the Combine. The Giants still need another corner.

38 — Houston Texans (via WAS): Clemson DT Peter Woods

Woods is in the midst of a disappointing pre-draft process, but he’s still a supercharged athlete with flashes of elite play. Houston would be a great spot for him to try and put it all together.

39 — Cleveland Browns: Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor

The Browns take advantage of a small fall here for Iheanachor. He’s an incredibly athletic tackle who thrives in space and on the move, and would be an immediate starter for a Cleveland offensive line still looking for answers.

40 — Kansas City Chiefs: Texas Tech DT Lee Hunter

Hunter didn’t test as the athlete we expected, but his tape is still impressive. He’s a monster against the run and has more pass rush juice than you’d expect.

41 — Cincinnati Bengals: Cincinnati LB Jake Golday

Golday is an old-school thumper of a linebacker with great range and athleticism in space. The Bearcats had him playing as an overhang slot defender at times, to give you an idea of what he can do.

42 — New Orleans Saints: Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez

Rodriguez might have been the biggest winner at the Combine given how emphatically he answered any athleticism questions. He’s such a productive playmaker in the middle of the field and is a plus athlete for the NFL.

43 — Miami Dolphins: Clemson OT Blake Miller

A refined pass blocker, Miller needs to continue getting stronger. But his mirroring ability in pass protection is special, and Miami desperately needs to improve its blocking.

44 — New York Jets (via DAL): Arizona State CB Keith Abney II

A really physical man coverage corner, Abney has the juice and ball skills to make it work in the NFL. After trading away Sauce Gardner at the deadline last season, the Jets go back to the well at cornerback.

45 — Baltimore Ravens: Illinois ED Gabe Jacas

Jacas is a fun player. He’s a jumbo edge rusher who plays a lot of standup outside linebacker and can reduce inside as well. The Ravens could stand to add another pass rusher, even after signing Trey Hendrickson.

46 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr.

Hill is one of my favorite players in this draft. He’s an athletic specimen at linebacker who flies around the field in run support and is getting better and better in coverage.

47 — Indianapolis Colts: Central Florida ED Malachi Lawrence

Lawrence would be such a Chris Ballard pick. A long, tough edge defender with great college production, he’s an athletic monster rushing the passer. He could easily go higher than this.

48 — Atlanta Falcons: Alabama WR Germie Bernard

Bernard would be a great complement to Drake London on the outside. He’s tough and crafty in his routes, a willing blocker and is creative after the catch.

49 — Minnesota Vikings: Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price

A speedster out of the backfield and a dynamic kick returner, Price runs tough between the tackles and can house any run. He’d make the Vikings’ backfield a lot more potent.

50 — Detroit Lions: Texas A&M ED Cashius Howell

Howell’s short arms and lack of ideal athleticism will likely push him to the second round, but he’s an exceptionally productive pass rusher at the highest level of college football.

51 — Carolina Panthers: Indiana CB D’Angelo Ponds

Ponds will be an immediate fan favorite of whatever team he plays for next. His size will push him inside to the slot, but he’s an elite cover corner who isn’t afraid to mix it up in run support.

52 — Green Bay Packers: South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse

Cisse is primarily a zone corner, but he has the physical tools to be better in man coverage. Teams will like his physicality and fundamentals in run support.

53 — Pittsburgh Steelers: LSU S A.J. Haulcy

Haulcy is such a Steelers type of player. A physical, downhill thumper from the safety position, he’ll mostly play in the box at the next level.

54 — Philadelphia Eagles: Oklahoma ED R Mason Thomas

Thomas does one thing: rush the passer. But he’s quite good at it, a speed demon off the edge that forces offenses to account for him on every play. He’s a designated pass rusher at the NFL level.

55 — Los Angeles Chargers: Texas A&M G Chase Bisontis

If Bisontis makes it here, it would be a coup for the Chargers. He’d slot in right away as a starter on their offensive line, and he brings a lot of starting experience with him.

56 — Jacksonville Jaguars: Miami CB Keionte Scott

The best slot defender in college football last season, Scott flies around the field with a nose for the football. He’s brilliant in run support and can hang tough against much bigger receivers.

57 — Chicago Bears: USC S Kamari Ramsey

After losing Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard III in free agency, the Bears need to restock at safety. Ramsey is a versatile coverage piece on the back end who can also play in the slot.

58 — San Francisco 49ers: Louisville WR Chris Bell

Even though he’s coming off a torn ACL, Bell is going to be one of the best value picks in the draft. Were he healthy, he’d be pushing for a first-round pick.

59 — Houston Texans: Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers

This is another fit I really like. Stowers is an uber-athletic slot weapon in a tight end’s body. He won’t give you much as a blocker, but he’s a mismatch weapon in the passing game.

60 — Chicago Bears (via BUF): Missouri LB Josiah Trotter

The Bears continue to focus on defense in this mock, this time with a true run-stuffing linebacker in Trotter. He has his struggles at times in coverage, but play him near the line of scrimmage and let him sniff out the running back.

61 — Los Angeles Rams: Tennessee ED Joshua Josephs

I have Josephs as a top-10 player on my board. I have no idea why he’s expected to go in this range. He’s long, with great burst off the edge and a variety of counter moves to choose from, and he can hold his own against the run.

62 — Denver Broncos: Ohio State TE Max Klare

Klare is the best “traditional” tight end in this class, able to play in-line and contribute as a blocker. His best work comes as a receiver, though, where he’s a strong route runner with good hands.

63 — New England Patriots: Connecticut WR Skyler Bell

A really fun and productive college player, Bell proved at the Combine that he’s athletic enough to stand out in the league. He’ll be best used in the slot, where he can turn on the jets and use his plus route running to create separation.

64 — Seattle Seahawks: Texas CB Malik Muhammad

Muhammad had a fantastic Combine and he was already a top-20 player on my board. He’s so smooth in space, with ideal length and great physicality at the catch point.
