Will Round 2 Bring a WR Landslide?
If they gambled on getting a QB on top of the 2nd round, the gamble seems to have paid off for the Express with James Cave slipping out of 1st round last night and Jackson Mix from Texas A&M sitting on top of the 2nd. They created lots of excitement in San Antonio by selecting a kid from Texas A&M with the 1st overall pick in the draft and the question is whether they think Mix is a better QB than James Cave or the better marketing strategy.

Either way, at least one QB could fall to the Jets at #7 as both Jacksonville (#3) and Cleveland (#4) already got their QB�s last night and we don�t expect the Chargers (#2) or the Giants (#6) to be in the QB market at this time. Someone should at least pick up these two QB�s before they disappear off the board as we might not get another QB pick until the 4th round.

The start of the 2nd round should also see the �next tier� of CB�s go off the board as well with the top ranked HB, Shariff Cromartie (Ohio State) going first in a deep HB class that lacks that 1st round/top 10 guy. Might be a good option for the Jets, who lost both Matt Forte and Bilal Powel this offseason.

We should also see the first MLB go off the board with Antjuan Heyward-Bey (Massachusetts) projected to go first of 3 possible 2nd round picks at the position.

4 WR's were drafted on day 1 and day 2 could see many more fly off the board. The WR class is deep and our experts predict we could see as many as 10-15 WR's finding their next club on day 2.
