player. 46. Center is one of the biggest needs for the Colts. Ryan Kelly, a smart and experienced center, should come in and take the starting job right away. — Kyle. Center. Alabama. Ryan Kelly. 48
player. 16. Lesean McCoy’s future in Buffalo remains in question, and still many wonder if he’s even an ideal fit in the Bills offense. Perkins gives them an insurance policy at running back and a player who could be an instant weapon in the passing game. — Dan. Running Back. UCLA. Paul Perkins. 49
44. Thompson is a physical player who will excel at playing strong safety in the box at the next level. He will bring toughness and big plays to the Falcons. — Kyle. Safety. Boise State. Darian Thompson. 50. player
30. I love Jaylon Smith’s game. It’s just so unfortunate about his injury. I still believe he’s good value here in the second round and well worth the risk of an early-round pick because the potential pay-off is tremendous if he’s able to return to football after his injury. — Dan. Linebacker. Notre Dame. Jaylon Smith. 51. player
