First Round Results, Instant Reactions

The Denver Broncos landed their guy late in the second round, patiently waiting for Montee Ball to fall to their draft position. The Broncos selected Montee Ball, Wisconsin, with the 58th overall pick.

Our staffer's provided input and reactions to each pick as they happened and the results of which are below. Rounds 3-7 will be full of cannon fodder for the waiver wires for most players, so we'll leave fate to decide which of those players end up being bonafide starters in this league.

Second Round - 2013 NFL Draft

2013 NFL Draft - Round 2
PICK	TEAM	PLAYER	SCHOOL	MHR REACTION
33		Johnathan Cyprien, DB	Florida International	Jags get a very good safety here. Gus Bradley adds his enforcer to a defense that has many holes. Solid pick here for the Jags. ~ Scotty Payne
34		Justin Hunter, WR	Tennessee	Hunter is a talented kid. Tall at 6'4, smaller frame and does need to work on his hands. Has great upside though. Gives Jake Locker another weapon. ~ Scotty Payne
35		Zach Ertz, TE	Stanford	Ertz is a nice athletic Tight End for Chip Kelley. Plays more like a WR. Very good pick for the Eagles. ~ Scotty Payne
36		Darius Slay, CB	Mississippi State	Darius Slay has been a fast riser up draft boards, and obviously the Lions felt he was better than his teammate Johnathan Banks. He has some injury concerns, but played more consistently than his higher touted counterpart this year. ~ Christopher Hart
37		Giovani Bernard, RB	North Carolina	Giovani Bernard is a solid pickup for the Bengals offense. He lacks top end speed, but has solid hustle. He's great in the passing game. Gives Andy Dalton another weapon. Solid draft so far for the Bengals. ~ Scotty Payne
38		Manti Te'o, ILB	Notre Dame	The Chargers finally get their heir to Junior Seau and you Bronco fans who hated on Te'o are going to rue this day for the next ten years. My reaction? F#$%$%&^%$&$% ~ Tim Lynch
39		Geno Smith, QB	West Virginia	The Jets get some QB competition for Sanchez in Geno Smith. Jets fans are cheering and somewhere Mark Sanchez is upset. ~ Scotty Payne
40		Tank Carradine, DE	Florida State	Nooo! The Rich get richer. Tank when healthy is a great edge rusher. Pair him with Aldon Smith and Niners have a pretty good young pass rush. ~ Scotty Payne
41		Robert Woods, WR	USC	Robert Woods is a solid possession receiver who runs good routes and has excellent hands. Should be a great complimentary receiver to Calvin Johnson, Jr. and give the Lions more explosiveness in their offensive in a competitive division. ~ Christopher Hart
42		Menelik Watson, OT	Florida State	Menelik Watson is a very raw football player with extreme upside. He is a prototypical NFL RT, but has the athleticism to man down LT. Unfortunately, there is a lot to pick up mentally for him to become a successful NFL player. I do not expect him to become a good contributor for a while because he routinely misses pass blocking assignments and gets confused blocking in space at the second level. ~ Chris Hart
43		Johnthan Banks, CB	Mississippi State	Banks is a solid pickup for the Bucs. Pair him with Revis and they have two very good ball hawks. He has good size, doesn't have the speed you would like, but has long arms and good ball skills. Very nice pick by the Bucs. ~ Scotty Payne
44		Kwann Short, DT	Purdue	Short and Star give the Panthers a great duo in the middle. They have improved their interior D-Line greatly with the last two picks. ~ Scotty Payne
45		Kevin Minter, ILB	LSU	Kevin Minter is the best run stuffing ILB in this draft. He will bring a physical presence to the Cardinals and has three-down potential. ~ Christopher Hart
46		Kiko Alonso, LB	Oregon	Kiko Alonzo in the second round for the Bills is a bit of a reach, but he has a lot of beef in front of him and should help out a Buffalo defense who desperately needed help in the second level of their defense. ~ Christopher Hart
47		Gavin Escobar, TE	SDSU	Gavin Escobar has been a rising prospect for months. Pairing him with Jason Witten gives the Cowboys a double threat at tight end which will give teams headaches. ~ Christopher Hart
48		Le'Veon Bell, RB	Michigan State	Le'Veon Bell going to the Steelers hurts. He is a perfect fit for the physical nature of their team and should immediately come in and start. Fantastic value for a team rumored to be in the need for a back after Rashard Mendenhall's departure. ~ Christopher Hart
49		Johnathan Hankins, DT	Ohio State	Giants add another solid pick to that D-Line. Hankins will stuff the middle of that line and let Tuck and JPP attack QB's off the ends. Solid pick by the Giants. ~ Scotty Payne
50		Jon Bostic, ILB	Florida	With the loss of Urlacher the Bears need a replacement at LB. They did add some free agents to compete, but Bostic could be the long term answer for the Bears defense. ~ Scotty Payne
51		David Amerson, CB	North Carolina State	Amerson is a solid pickup for the the Skins. Can play safety or corner. Great ball skills, but is a boom or bust type prospect. The skins secondary could use him though. ~ Scotty Payne
52		Jamie Collins, DE/OLB	Southern Miss	Collins is your perfect New England Patriot type player. Very versatile and a uber athletic edge rusher. Great pick. ~ Scotty Payne
53		Margus Hunt, DE	SMU	Hunt is a athletically gifted man. He is 26 though and is very raw when it comes to football. He's a developmental pick for the Bengals, but has great upside. ~ Scotty Payne
54		Jamar Taylor, CB	Boise State	Taylor is a solid corner for the Dolphins. They lost Sean Smith and Taylor would be a nice replacement for him. Solid pick up. ~ Scotty Payne
55		Vance McDonald, TE	Rice	Vance McDonald replaces Delanie Walker on the Niners offense. Niners continue to get deeper and deeper. ~ Scotty Payne
56		Arthur Brown, ILB	Kansas State	Ravens look to fill the void at ILB left by Ray Lewis and Danelle Ellerby. Brown is a solid prospect. ~ Mike Gomez
57		D.J. Swearinger, CB	South Carolina	A big safety who can tackle and play special teams. Needs to improve in coverage however. ~ Scotty Payne
58		Montee Ball, RB	Wisconsin	Love this this pick. Montee Ball in a Peyton Manning offense is awesome. Good size back and a good value at 58. Great pick. Bye bye Willis McGahee. ~ Scotty Payne C$^%F$%%NO NO F%^$%&^* ~ Mike Gomez Something has got to stop John Fox from punting on 4th and 1, here is the back that will ensure that he gets four yards when it is 3rd and 3. ~ Ian Henson
59		Aaron Dobson, WR	Marshall	Aaron Dobson give the Patriots some much needed help at receiver. ~ Scotty Payne
60		Robert Alford, CB	SE Louisana	Robert Alford is a solid pick up for the Falcons. Another solid addition to their secondary. ~ Scotty Payne
61		Eddie Lacy, RB	Alabama	Packers finally select the free falling Lacy. Lacy is a solid downhill runner who does have some injury concerns. Aaron Rodgers must be happy to finally have a solid running game. ~ Scotty Payne
62		Christine Michael, RB	Texas A&M	Christine Michael is my favorite back in this class. Great runner for the Seahawks. Has some off the field issues, could be a potential steal for the Seahawks. ~ Scotty Payne
