NFL Draft: Second round pick-by-pick analysis

<p>The NFL Draft is being held in Chicago for the second straight year.</p>

Welcome to USA TODAY Sports' 2016 NFL draft tracker. Here's pick-by-pick analysis of Round 2:

32. Cleveland Browns – Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State: The Browns kick off the second round by opting for pass rush. Ogbah had 22½ sacks over the past two seasons. Cleveland had all of 29 last year and is still trying to recover from 2013 first-round disappointment Barkevious Mingo.

33. Tennessee Titans – Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson: Sense a theme? Another edge player goes at the top of the round. Dodd was nearly as productive as Tigers teammate Shaq Lawson in 2015, constantly harassing quarterbacks and ball carriers. He might begin his pro career in sub packages behind starting Titans OLBs Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan.

34. Dallas Cowboys – Jaylon Smith, LB, Notre Dame: Stunner. Dallas throws caution to the wind, taking Smith, arguably the most-talented player in the draft. The Irish star can play inside or out and cover nearly the entire field — when healthy. Of course, he tore two knee ligaments and suffered nerve damage in his leg during January's Fiesta Bowl. He likely won't play in 2016, but the Cowboys might have found an all-pro caliber player for 2017 and beyond. Smith had more than 100 tackles and double-digit tackles for loss each of the past two seasons.

35. San Diego Chargers – Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas: The top tight end in the draft goes to San Diego, where he can learn from Antonio Gates, a near lock for the Hall of Fame but quite possibly entering his final NFL season. Henry's a solid receiver and decent enough blocker.

36. Jaguars (from Baltimore Ravens) – Myles Jack, LB, UCLA: Many thought the Jags would take Jack in Round 1. They end up trading to get him in the second round, and the defense that surrendered the most points in the AFC in 2015 suddenly has two elite playmakers in Jack and first-round DB Jalen Ramsey (not to mention 2015 first-round DE Dante Fowler, who missed his rookie season with a knee injury). Of course, if not for concerns about a degenerative knee condition, Jack might have gone 30 spots higher.

37. Kansas City Chiefs (from San Francisco 49ers) – Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State: Kansas City's first pick of the 2016 draft is Jones, an uber-promising lineman, but one who's been criticized for not giving full effort every play. He joins a D-line that could lose NT Dontari Poe in a year to free agency and lost DE Mike DeVito to retirement this offseason.

38. Miami Dolphins (from Jaguars via Ravens) – Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor: Miami gets another big corner in Howard (6-0, 201) to team with 6-1, 207-pound veteran Byron Maxwell, whom they acquired from the Eagles last month. Could be a nice countermove when facing a team like the division rival Jets, who start two of the NFL's bigger receivers in Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker.

39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Noah Spence, OLB/DE, Eastern Kentucky: Might have first-round talent, but character questions from his days at Ohio State and a slow 40 time (4.8) hurt him. But Spence is a productive player, and his drug tests have all come back clean recently. He can certainly help in Tampa, where most of the team's pass rush comes inside courtesy of Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy. And pressure is key in the NFC South, where every team starts a stud quarterback.

40. New York Giants – Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma: If WR Victor Cruz is unable to get back to his previous form after 2014's horrific knee injury, there's a good chance Shepard can replace his production. Shepard is excellent out of the slot and should see a lot of balls from QB Eli Manning when Odell Beckham isn't open.

41. Buffalo Bills (from Chicago Bears) – Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama: Finally, the Tide defenders begin coming off the board. Rex Ryan wasn't able to bring ILB David Harris with him from the Jets, but he might have found a similar talent in Ragland, who should be a very reliable, if not flashy, performer. The question Ragland will have to answer is whether he can handle coverage responsibilities on passing downs in a division where Rob Gronkowski often roams wild.

42. Ravens (from Dolphins) – Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State: A nice edge player who had 31 tackles for loss in 2014, including 12 sacks. He probably starts his NFL career as a situational player on passing downs, but GM Ozzie Newsome needed to start planning for life after OLBs Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil retire.

43. Titans (from Philadelphia Eagles via Los Angeles Rams) – Austin Johnson, DL, Penn State: GM Jon Robinson continues rebuilding his defense Friday night with Johnson, who joins a unit that ranked 18th against the run last year. But Johnson can also get to the quarterback from inside, posting 6½ sacks last year.

44. Oakland Raiders – Jihad Ward, DL, Illinois: He may not make a ton of splash plays, but that's what Khalil Mack is for in Oakland. Ward is a hustler who should be able to set the edge or play inside and fills depth for a team that lost DE Justin Tuck to retirement.

45. Titans (from Rams) – Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama: The Heisman Trophy winner, fresh off a 2,219-yard season, heads to Nashville to pair up with DeMarco Murray in Tennessee's new-look backfield. Henry is a better receiver than he showed at Alabama and is pure north-south, almost always getting positive yardage. A team that ranked 25th rushing the ball in 2015 should be much better.

46. Detroit Lions – A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama: Detroit is a year removed from losing DTs Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley to free agency, and Haloti Ngata, 32, only has so many snaps left. Robinson, 21, though he looks 41, could be a defensive cornerstone. He can shut down run lanes and also tie up blocks on passing downs, which should help turn loose DE Ziggy Ansah off the edge.

47. New Orleans Saints – Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State: Keyshawn Johnson's nephew has excellent tools, including a 6-3, 212-pound frame. QB Drew Brees will appreciate having a big target to replace departed WR Marques Colston. Thomas had 110 catches and 18 TDs over the past two seasons for the Buckeyes.

48. Green Bay Packers (from Indianapolis Colts) – Jason Spriggs, T, Indiana: GM Ted Thompson moves up nine slots for Spriggs, who may be the left tackle of the future in front of Aaron Rodgers, who was sacked 46 times in 2015. Spriggs is an exceptional athlete for a 6-6, 301-pound man.

49. Seattle Seahawks (from Bills via Bears) – Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama: Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider bolt up the board seven spots for the final high-profile member of the Tide's vaunted defense. Reed helps Seattle reload a D-line that lost longtime DT Brandon Mebane to the Chargers in free agency. Reed should step in immediately as a likely starter on the base defense.

50. Houston Texans (from Atlanta Falcons) – Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame: A plug-and-play center — Martin is the brother of Cowboys all-pro G Zack Martin — who could take over immediately for departed free agent C Ben Jones.

51. New York Jets – Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State: He's the 11th quarterback the Jets have picked since 2000. Hackenberg has exceptional physical tools, but his accuracy and decision making seemed to steadily deteriorate after his stellar freshman year, when he played for Bill O'Brien. Though the Jets have yet to re-sign QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, there's probably little chance Hackenberg plays in 2016, when he'll likely be tied to the hip of OC Chan Gailey. Geno Smith, the team's second rounder in 2013, is starting to look like the stopgap.

52. Falcons (from Texans) – Deion Jones, LB, LSU: After taking Florida S Keanu Neal last night, the Falcons get another athletic, hybrid type player for its defense. Jones is 6-1, 222 pounds, but he brings the ranginess this unit lacked at the second level in recent years.

53. Washington Redskins – Su’a Cravens, LB/S, Southern California: Yet another safety/linebacker 'tweener that every team seems to want now. Washington's bigger needs appear to be secondary, where DeAngelo Hall is moving into the deep safety role. But Cravens could definitely take over at strong safety and move into a linebacker role in sub packages.

54. Minnesota Vikings – Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson: A gifted corner who could give the Vikes a nice, long-term tandem with 2015 first rounder Trae Waynes. Minnesota is extremely deep here now with Xavier Rhodes, Captain Munnerlyn and aging Terence Newman. Alexander does need to learn to find the ball better after failing to pick off a pass at Clemson.

55. Cincinnati Bengals – Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh: He rewrote the record book at Pitt. Boyd could step in as a nice third option for QB Andy Dalton behind A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert. Cincinnati really had to get a wideout after losing Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones during free agency.

56. Bears (from Seahawks) – Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State: He should immediately push veteran LG Matt Slauson for a starting job. Chicago still appears to need help at left tackle, but the rest of the O-line seems to be taking shape nicely — good news for QB Jay Cutler and new starting RB Jeremy Langford.

57. Colts (from Packers) – T.J. Green, DB, Clemson: Indianapolis might ave an open competition for its second and third corner jobs behind Vontae Davis. And those are especially key jobs considering the Texans (DeAndre Hopkins/Will Fuller) and Jaguars (Allen Robinson/Allen Hurns) will be rolling out scary wideout tandems. Depending on where he's most effective, Green could also finding himself playing safety alongside Mike Adams.

58. Pittsburgh Steelers – Sean Davis, DB, Maryland: The Steelers continue bolstering the AFC's worst pass defense a night after taking CB Artie Burns in Round 1.

59. Buccaneers (from Chiefs) – Roberto Aguayo, K, Florida State: He becomes the highest-drafted kicker since Mike Nugent in 2005. The NFL's lengthened extra point has put new emphasis on the play, now effectively a 33-yard attempt. Aguayo was perfect on his 198 PATs in college. More pertinent, the 2013 Lou Groza Award winner was 69-for-78 (88.5%) on field-goal tries and didn’t miss on any of his 49 attempts inside 40 yards. Aguayo, QB Jameis Winston's former teammate, expressed a desire to play for the Bucs and seems likely to hold the job for several years.

60. New England Patriots – Cyrus Jones, CB, Alabama: The Pats take Jones (5-10, 197), who looks like an ideal nickelback, and can also return punts.

61. Saints (from Arizona Cardinals via Patriots) – Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State: New Orleans comes up 17 spots for Bell, perhaps the best coverage safety in the draft. It's worth wondering if this should signal a warning to starters Kenny Vaccaro and Jairus Byrd for a defense that gave up a league record 45 TD passes in 2015.

62. Carolina Panthers – James Bradberry, CB, Samford: Maybe the 6-1, 211-pounder gets first crack at the job opened up by the departure of CB Josh Norman, Carolina's former franchise player. Bradberry's size should help him combat players like Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Vincent Jackson and, now, Michael Thomas in the NFC South.

63. Denver Broncos – Adam Gotsis, DT, Georgia Tech: A new asset for a D-line that lost Malik Jackson in free agency. Gotsis likely won't provide Jackson's ability, but he's long (6-4, 287) and tough, especially on run downs, and could crack the rotation in short order.
