The 2014 Big Blue View Community Mock Draft continues to steamroll ahead as four more second-round picks are in. That puts us through pick No. 42, and sets up yours truly to make the selection at No. 43 for the New York Giants. That pick will be posted on Saturday.
Here are the picks for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans.
39. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame
Our pretend GM for the Jags here is 'JT91.' He writes:
Whether I like it or not, Blake Bortles was the Jaguars pick in Round 1. Taking a QB first opens up the Jags to pick almost any position in Round 2. Standing at 6-foot-2 and 331 pounds, Nix will immediately replace the abysmal Roy Miller and provide the Jags with a frightening defensive anchor. Nix can clog the middle and vastly improve the league's 29th-ranked run defense. Nix has deceiving quickness which will provide a bonus pass rushing ability to his repertoire.
I strongly considered Joel Bitonio, Jason Verrett, and Allen Robinson here as well. Bitonio would be a nice add to the interior of the Jaguars' offensive line. With the attempted signing of Mack, it's obviously they are trying to address that weakness. However, I think guards and centers are positions that can be easily addressed later in the draft. Jason Verrett was almost the pick here, as I really enjoy his game and he would immediately contribute to a porous Jacksonville secondary. Ultimately, I rate Nix higher.
40. Minnesota Vikings -- David Yankey, OG, Stanford
Our pretend GM is 'NYGCHOSENJUan.' He writes:
I think the Vikings go David Yankey here. He can become a mainstay on that line for 6-8 years. They need help on that interior front and he's just the guy to do it. He's versatile, playing guard and tackle while at the university of Stanford and was once considered the top guard in the draft. This has to be the pickup.
41. Buffalo Bills -- Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU
'Dravs13' is our pretend Bills' GM here. He writes:
There were a few ways that I could have gone saying that they also need help at right tackle, safety and wide receiver but with Eric Ebron being picked in the first I had to choose between Shayne Skov and Van Noy. I chose Van Noy because Buffalo signed Brandon Spikes this offseason. Spikes isn't an every down middle linebacker, but he will give some serious help with the run defense and can hold the position for a few years until they need to replace him with a better MLB. Giving the bills a young, talented outside linebacker to pair with Kiko on the other side will help them a lot, especially when they are able to draft a young, talented MLB.
42. Tennessee Titans -- Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State
Back once again as Titans' pretend GM is 'LarrySoprano.' He writes:
After satisfying their most glaring need at cornerback with their first pick, the Titans go with value here by grabbing Robinson. Following Evans, Robinson is arguably the next best "big-bodied" receiver in this draft class. With the Kenny Britt experiment over in Tennessee, Robinson can be that complementary weapon lining up across from Kendall Wright. At 6-foot-3 he's a fluid receiver with a large frame and will certainly be a welcomed addition to their offense.
