USA TODAY's Nate Davis will provide pick-by-pick analysis of the second and third rounds of the NFL draft here tonight. Return here for the latest news from Radio City Music Hall and around the NFL. (Round 2 pick-by-pick tracker | Round 3 pick-by-pick tracker | Round 1 analysis) We'll have the most recent picks and news at the top:  98. Atlanta Falcons (compensatory pick): Mike Johnson, G, AlabamaProbably a reserve in 2010, maybe a replacement for Harvey Dahl, who's struggled with injuries lately, down the road.  97. Tennessee Titans (compensatory pick): Rennie Curran, LB, GeorgiaThe Bulldogs product appears to have London Fletcher-esque size at 5-11 and 235 pounds, but will he produce like Fletcher in the NFL? He could compete for snaps in a linebacking corps that may not bring back longtime stalwart Keith Bulluck (knee surgery) and seems to only have Will Witherspoon and Stephen Tulloch penned in.  96. Cincinnati Bengals (compensatory pick): Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake ForestThe final player languishing in the green room finds a home. Ghee should play immediately in a division where the Steelers and Ravens are winging the ball more than ever. Ghee could potentially be ticketed for bigger things with Johnathan Joseph's deal up after the season (and Leon Hall's expiring after 2011).  95. New Orleans Saints: Jimmy Graham, TE, Miami (Fla.)The latest hardwood-to-gridiron tight end project, the Saints snap up Graham and can let him develop behind fellow former Hurricane Jeremy Shockey. With productive David Thomas also on the roster, don't expect Graham to be active on game days in 2010.  94. Indianapolis Colts: Kevin Thomas, CB, USCThe Colts had problems keeping their corners healthy in 2009, so quality depth doesn't hurt, especially with Tim Jennings (Bears) and Marlin Jackson (Eagles) moving on. Facing four pass-happy NFC East teams in 2010 further justifies this choice.  93. Kansas City Chiefs (from Minnesota Vikings via Houston Texans): Tony Moeaki, TE, IowaNo, he's probably not the next Dallas Clark coming out of the Hawkeyes' program, but Moeaki should have a puncher's chance to play against Leonard Pope and Brad Cottam, though none of them will make K.C. fans forget Tony Gonzalez.  92. Cleveland Browns (from New York Jets): Shawn Lauvao, T, Arizona StateThe Browns added T Tony Pashos to fortify their O-line in the offseason, and he's likely to start in 2010. But Lauvao could be the future bookend for budding star LT Joe Thomas.  91. San Francisco 49ers (from San Diego Chargers): Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn StateHe's had his scrapes with the law, certainly no help for his draft status. But Bowman has shown progress on and off the field and could bolster the Niners' pass rush, which generates pressure from multiple directions but didn't feature a player with more than 6.5 sacks in 2009.  90. New England Patriots (from Dallas Cowboys): Taylor Price,WR, OhioHe joins newly signed Torry Holt as a reinforcement/insurance policy as the Patriots consider a short-term future without Wes Welker and possibly a long-term outlook without Randy Moss.  89. Carolina Panthers (from Arizona Cardinals via New England Patriots): Armanti Edwards, QB/WR, Appalachian StateA good p.r. pick for Carolina by taking the local star who famously helped knock off Michigan in Ann Arbor a few years ago. Given the presence of Jimmy Clausen, it seems almost certain Edwards will have to ply his trade as a playmaker of some type, likely a much-needed slot receiver. The Patriots pry a 2011 second-rounder out of the Panthers for this pick.  88. Arizona Cardinals (from Baltimore Ravens): Andre Roberts, WR, CitadelOne of the picks nabbed in the Anquan Boldin deal, the Cards get a receiver, though not one who will be expected to fill Boldin's shoes (Steve Breaston and/or Early Doucet should have little trouble doing that).  87. Denver Broncos (from Philadelphia Eagles): Eric Decker, WR, MinnesotaJosh McDaniels garners another target for QB Kyle Orton (and ultimately Tim Tebow) by adding Decker 24 hours after selecting WR Demaryius Thomas in the first round.  86. Philadelphia Eagles (from Green Bay Packers): Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, DE, WashingtonAfter moving up for DE Brandon Graham in Round 1, the Eagles continue to seed their defensive line with youth.  85. Cleveland Browns (from New England Patriots via Oakland Raiders): Colt McCoy, QB, TexasMcCoy goes to Cleveland a round later than many thought he would but lands with a team that seems perfectly suited for his abilities. Browns president Mike Holmgren values toughness, accuracy and smarts from his signal callers, and McCoy checks all the blocks. He'll likely have at least a year to watch and study under Jake Delhomme.  84. Cincinnati Bengals: Jordan Shipley, WR, TexasThis reliable hands man could immediately take over the slot and become QB Carson Palmer's version of fellow Texan Wes Welker. Shipley looks capable of effectively opening the field for WRs Chad Ochocinco, Antonio Bryant and fellow rookie TE Jermaine Gresham.  83. Atlanta Falcons: Corey Peters, DT, KentuckyTheir second pick of the draft nets a 300-pounder who could team with 2009 first-rounder Peria Jerry up the gut for years to come. This seems a bit high for Peters, but GM Thomas Dimitroff and his staff clearly saw something.  82. Pittsburgh Steelers: Emmanuel Sanders, WR, SMUHe won't necessarily step in for departed former Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes. Rather Sanders will compete for slot time with veterans Arnaz Battle and Antwaan Randle El, and maybe he eventually takes over for graybeard Hines Ward alongside Mike Wallace.  81. Houston Texans: Earl Mitchell, DT, ArizonaHouston has been trying crack the code at defensive tackle since the day it entered the NFL. Mitchell is the latest attempt to bulwark the front four.  80. Denver Broncos: J.D. Walton, C, BaylorDenver likely finds departed Casey Wiegmann's replacement as they continue to get younger on the O-line.  79. San Diego Chargers (from San Francisco 49ers): Donald Butler, ILB, WashingtonThe Chargers, who dealt ILB Tim Dobbins to Miami last night, pick up some depth for the teeth of their 3-4 defense.  78. Carolina Panthers: Brandon LaFell, WR, LSUHis value has seemingly dipped since last year, but LaFell will have every opportunity to prove himself in Carolina where the Panthers have been desperate to find an understudy to WR Steve Smith. LaFell need only beat out disappointing Dwayne Jarrett and catch fellow rookie Jimmy Clausen's eye. At 6-2, 211 pounds, LaFell could be a seamless sub for unsigned WR Muhsin Muhammad.  77. Tennessee Titans: Damian Williams, WR, USCUSC alum Jeff Fisher plucks a fellow Trojan to team with last year's first-rounder, Kenny Britt. Williams will have to battle vets Nate Washington and Justin Gage for reps.  76. New York Giants: Chad Jones, SS, LSUThe Giants keep saying 2008 first-rounder Kenny Phillips will recover from knee surgery, but their actions seem to indicate they're worried. Jones joins Antrel Rolle and veteran Deon Grant, who were both signed after the season, Rolle to the most lucrative contract a safety has ever received. Hopefull, Phillips is OK, but the Giants have an ever-growing fallback plan if not.  75. Chicago Bears: Major Wright, S, Florida With their first pick of the 2010 draft, Chicago enlists much needed help for its last line of defense, where playing time is up for grabs.  74. Jacksonville Jaguars: D'Anthony Smith, DT, Louisiana TechAfter taking Tyson Alualu last night, the Jags continue to buy beef for their D-line. With youngster Terrance Knighton already in place, John Henderson is increasingly assuming the look of a former Jag.  73. Miami Dolphins: John Jerry, T, MississippiThis 328-pounder likely starts as Miami's swing tackle, but he could one day challenge for RT Vernon Carey's job.  72. Buffalo Bills: Alex Carrington, DE, Arkansas StateA perfect five-technique addition for Buffalo's new 3-4 defense. Suddenly Kyle Williams or, more likely, Marcus Stroud could be trade bait along with RB Marshawn Lynch.  71. Green Bay Packers (from Cleveland Browns via Philadelphia Eagles): Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia TechHe could compete for SS Atari Bigby's job next to Pro Bowler Nick Collins.  70. Baltimore Ravens (from Seattle Seahawks via Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos): Ed Dickson, TE, OregonDickson looks like he'll be groomed to take over for fellow Pac-10 alum Todd Heap as the Ravens' tight end.  69. Oakland Raiders: Jared Veldheer, T, Hillsdale (Mich.)The 6-8, 312-pound Division II star may not be ready to play right away, but he appears to be a good investment on an Oakland O-line that needs a bailout.  68. Kansas City Chiefs: Jon Asamoah, G, IllinoisThe best guard in the draft after Idaho's Mike Iupati (49ers), Asamoah should challenge to start in the middle of a line that needed to improve after letting too many pass rushers get to QB Matt Cassel (42 sacks suffered) in 2009.  67. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Myron Lewis, CB, VanderbiltWill he be the man to take over for Ronde Barber one day? Aqib Talib is the Bucs' top corner now, but in today's NFL you can't have enough. Lewis picked off nine passes for the Commodores over the past two years.  66. Detroit Lions: Amari Spievey, CB, IowaThe Lions have also had problems with their corner coverage and added former Ram Jonathan Wade and former Falcon Chris Houston this offseason to attempt to address it. But Spievey should also be in the mix to contribute immediately.  65. St. Louis Rams: Jerome Murphy, CB, South FloridaThe Rams kick off Round 3 with their first defensive pick of the draft. Corner has long been a problem area, and Murphy could get a chance to fix it quickly.  END OF ROUND 2, START OF ROUND 3 (Redskins surrendered third-round pick for selecting DE Jeremy Jarmon in last summer's supplemental draft)  64. New Orleans Saints: Charles Brown, T, USCThe champs go for talent rather than need. Brown joins a glutted tackle position that includes former all-pro Jammal Brown (injured in 2009), Pro Bowler Jon Stinchcomb, Jermon Bushrod, who started in the Super Bowl for Brown, and Zach Strief. Charles Brown, a converted tight end, will probably get time to further develop behind these veterans, but his selection is a further sign that Saints could deal Jammal Brown.  63. Indianapolis Colts: Pat Angerer, ILB, IowaNot eye-popping on the measurables, but like Brandon Spikes, he can play. Sound similar to Indy's current middle man, Gary Brackett, who wasn't even drafted before embarking on his impressive career? Angerer has racked up 242 tackles over the past two seasons and provides depth and a future behind Brackett, who will be 30 this season.  62. New England Patriots (from Minnesota Vikings via Houston Texans): Brandon Spikes, ILB, FloridaHe may be slow, but he's a productive inside backer who should look quite good next to 2008 defensive rookie of the year Jerod Mayo. Bill Belichick taps into the Urban Meyer pipeline again and continues to give his aging defense an impressive makeover, which suddenly seems to have worthy successors to Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel.  61. New York Jets: Vladimir Ducasse, OL, MassachusettsDoes this pick signal the rumored departure of Pro Bowl LG Alan Faneca? At 332 pounds, Ducasse can play inside between Pro Bowl LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson and C Nick Mangold ... or he could be a mauler at right tackle and let incumbent RT Damien Woody slide to guard. Either way, the NFL's top-ranked rushing offense from 2009 gets a new road grader, and Faneca, 33, and his bloated contract could be shown the door.  60. Seattle Seahawks (from San Diego Chargers): Golden Tate, WR, Notre DameA nice pickup, he should immediately serve as a complementary deep threat to No. 1 possession WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Tate had 93 catches for 1,496 yards and 15 TDs working with QB Jimmy Clausen in the Irish pro-style offense in 2009. He should have little trouble adapting to an NFL playbook.  59. Cleveland Browns (from Dallas Cowboys via Philadelphia Eagles): Montario Hardesty, RB, TennesseeNew Browns GM Tom Heckert moves up by working a trade with his old buddies in Philly as Cleveland snares a tailback. Hardesty shook off the injury bug to run for 1,345 yards in 2009, but he'll have to prove he can evade said bug in the NFL. At 6-feet, 225 pounds, Hardesty looks to be a younger version of fellow former Vol (and former Brown) Jamal Lewis, especially since Hardesty couldn't catch a cold coming out of the backfield. Hardesty could start for Cleveland with Jerome Harrison being the changeup back as he earned more playing time after finishing with a rush in 2009 playing in Lewis' stead.  58. Houston Texans (from Arizona Cardinals via New England Patriots): Ben Tate, RB, AuburnThis 220-pounder could become the starting workhorse Gary Kubiak has coveted to supplement his top-ranked passing offense. Though he has decent hands, Tate would likely give way to RB Steve Slaton, who should revert to a more natural third-down role assuming he's healthy in 2010.  57. Baltimore Ravens: Terrence Cody, NT, AlabamaLB Ray Lewis has to be happy about this development. Cody will be like a black hole inside, swallowing everything in sight with his 350-plus pound frame, a role he executed so effectively for the national champion Crimson Tide. He could split snaps with aging NT Kelly Gregg (33) before ultimately becoming a starter. Along with Pro Bowl DL Haloti Ngata, the Ravens boast one of the best three-man fronts in the league.  56. Green Bay Packers: Mike Neal, DL, PurdueHe likely provides depth at defensive end in the 3-4 defense with Ryan Pickett and 2009 first-rounder B.J. Raji more than capable of manning the nose. The NFC's top-ranked defense in 2009 gets deeper.  55. Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles): Sean Lee, ILB, Penn StateRated the best interior backer after Rolando McClain in this draft, Lee could be the heir apparent to Keith Brooking, who will be 35 this season. This could also fuel rumors that former first-rounder Bobby Carpenter is on the block in Dallas as Brooking and Bradie James seem quite cemented as the starters between OLBs DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer in 2010.  54. Cincinnati Bengals: Carlos Dunlap, DE, FloridaBack-t0-back Gators DEs come off the board as the Stripes take Dunlap, who has first-round talent, but a fifth-round motor to go with off-field concerns (he was pulled over for drinking under the influence prior to the 2009 SEC Championship Game). He's a boom-or-bust type similar to Cincinnati's 2009 third-rounder, DE Michael Johnson. If Antwan Odom is healthy in 2010, the Bengals suddenly sport a deep and talented pass rush.  53. New England Patriots: Jermaine Cunningham, OLB, FloridaAt 266 pounds, he'll be a load off the edge for New England as he evolves from defensive end to rush linebacker. Cunningham has explosive athleticism, but a shoulder injury knocked down his value ... which is why the Pats were lurking for him in Round 2.  52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jason Worilds, OLB, Virginia TechHe won't start right away, but he gives the Steelers a nice change-of-pace pass rush option behind stud OLBs James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley, and depth was needed here behind the Pro Bowlers. Pittsburgh's pass defense suddenly looks much better.  51. Minnesota Vikings (from Houston Texans): Toby Gerhart, RB, StanfordHe goes in Round 2 in light of a Yahoo! report that says he may have seen his stock slip due to the color of his skin, which is white. Gerhart may seem some fullback duties with Minnesota, but the Heisman Trophy runner-up could also reprise the role of RB Adrian Peterson's departed sidekick, Chester Taylor. Though with just 39 catches in his four-year college career, Gerhart doesn't seem like a true third-down back ... but we know he can catch as he was also the Cardinal's center fielder.  50. Kansas City Chiefs (from Atlanta Falcons): Javier Arenas, CB, AlabamaThis is the pick K.C. received for TE Tony Gonzalez a year ago, and they use it to further bolster their secondary, which got a shot in the arm last night with the arrival of S Eric Berry. Though only 5-9, Arenas should quickly get into the mix for nickel duties in K.C., an important role in a division ruled by the pass-centric San Diego Chargers.  49. San Francisco 49ers: Taylor Mays, S, USCHis dropoff was nearly as notable as Clausen's given some scouting services rated Mays as a top-five pick a year ago. The 6-3, 230-pounder is a special athlete, though his football instincts sometimes leave something to be desired. Could he receive some mentoring from another USC great who thrived by the Bay, Hall of Fame S Ronnie Lott? With Dashon Goldson seemingly entrenched at free safety, Mays may be let loose to make his presence felt in the box, perhaps a better NFL role for his talents and proclivities.  48. Carolina Panthers: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre DameHe finally finds a taker midway through Round 2. There's no reason to think Clausen can't immediately contend to start with fairly unproven Matt Moore (8 career starts) and completely unproven Hunter Cantwell as his competition. One curiosity about this selection -- both Panthers GM Marty Hurney and coach John Fox enter the season as lame ducks and picking Clausen likely doesn't help them win now like a defensive lineman or No. 2 wide receiver would have. Fun fact: the last Pro Bowl QB from Notre Dame was Steve Beuerlein, who turned the trick for the Panthers in 1999.  47. Arizona Cardinals (from Tennessee Titans via New England Patriots): Daryl Washington, LB, TCUHe's only 230 pounds, but he could be turned loose from the edge opposite Joey Porter given Bertrand Berry has retired and Chike Okeafor likely won't be re-signed. The Cardinals also have a huge hole inside after losing ILB Karlos Dansby to Miami but playing inside would seem a waste of Washington's speed advantage.  46. New York Giants: Linval Joseph, DT, East CarolinaHis stock has rocketed in recent weeks, and he joins a D-line that was already improved last night with the selection of uber-athletic DE Jason Pierre-Paul. Joseph's arrival offsets the departure of Fred Robbins to the Rams and makes the Giants continue to resemble the 2007 club that won it all.  45. Denver Broncos: Zane Beadles, G, UtahThe Broncos reinforce an O-line that lost G Ben Hamilton to Seattle a few days ago. If Denver finds a center to replace Casey Wiegmann, they could have a strong nucleus along with star-in-the-making LT Ryan Clady and underrated RT Ryan Harris. The applause you hear comes from second-year RB Knowshon Moreno ... and perhaps QB Tim Tebow.  44. Oakland Raiders (from Jacksonville Jaguars via New England Patriots): Lamarr Houston, DT, TexasThe Raiders continue bolstering their run defense after grabbing MLB Rolando McClain last night. Houston should help plug the dike in front of McClain as Oakland gets another quality player. The Raiders offense doesn't look much better, but it may have to score significantly fewer points to compete in 2010.  43. Baltimore Ravens (from Miami Dolphins via Denver Broncos): Sergio Kindle, LB, TexasIt sounds like concerns about a knee injury dropped Kindle out of Round 1, but this might be an excellent value pick for Baltimore. He joins a deep OLB group that includes Terrell Suggs, Jarret Johnson and last year's second-rounder, Paul Kruger. That quality trio also means the Ravens have the luxury of not needing Kindle immediately. But when they get him? Some scouts say he's more talented than former Longhorns teammate Brian Orakpo, a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2009.  42. New England Patriots (from Chicago Bears via Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders): Rob Gronkowski, TE, ArizonaLike this draft's top tight end, Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham, Gronkowski was waylaid in 2009 by injury (back). But he fills a pressing need for the Pats, who only had TE Alge Crumpler to deploy after saying goodbye to Ben Watson and Chris Baker in the offseason. At nearly 260 pounds, Gronkowski is a big target and should offer decent blocking along with Crumpler. Gronkowski didn't endear himself to a pro-Jets crowd at Radio City Music Hall by toting a Patriots helmet on stage when Roger Goodell greeted him.  41. Buffalo Bills: Torell Troup, DT, Central FloridaNo quarterback. The Bills opt for the 314-pounder, who seems destined to be the middle man in the team's newly implemented 3-4 defense. The selection of Troup would seem to free former DTs Kyle Williams and Marcus Stroud to play the five-technique ends. If Aaron Schobel returns, he could face a transition to linebacker like the one Aaron Kampman had in Green Bay last year. The scheme should really help Buffalo's 2009 first-rounder, Aaron Maybin, who struggled as a 4-3 end but might have more luck getting to quarterbacks as a rush linebacker.  40. Miami Dolphins (from Seattle Seahawks via San Diego Chargers): Koa Misi, LB/DE, UtahAt 6-3, 251 pounds, he'll almost surely move from the line to linebacker in Miami's 3-4 defense, which subtracted OLBs Joey Porter and Jason Taylor in recent weeks. Misi didn't have huge sack numbers for the Utes, so he could be ticketed for the strong side and maybe even inside next to free agent prize ILB Karlos Dansby.  39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Oakland Raiders): Arrelious Benn, WR, IllinoisThe Bucs surrender a fifth-rounder to the Raiders to jump up three spots for Benn, who may instantly become Tampa's most credible receiver. This is a welcome addition for second-round QB Josh Freeman, who needs help outside TE Kellen Winslow II in the passing game. At 6-1 and 219 pounds, Benn has decent size and speed, probably enough to bypass WRs Maurice Stovall, Reggie Brown and Michael Clayton on the depth chart.  38. Cleveland Browns: T.J. Ward, S, OregonThe first strong safety off the board, the Browns add him to a secondary that was upgraded in the first round with CB Joe Haden. Brodney Pool is now a Jet, so immediate playing time will be available to Ward, a former Ducks secondary teammate of Jairus Byrd, who tied for the NFL INT lead last year as a safety for the Bills. Ward does have durability issues, but Cleveland thought enough of him to bypass QBs Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy.  37. Philadelphia Eagles (from Washington Redskins): Nate Allen, S, South FloridaThe Eagles didn't make the rumored move for Texas S Earl Thomas in Round 1, but they get another back ender in Round 2 with the selection of Allen, who had 80 tackles and five INTs in 2009. Philly would love it if he can live up to the performance of a second-round safety they selected 14 years ago, Brian Dawkins, though Allen will likely never make Philly fans forget one of their most beloved gladiators. The pick is actually a double dose of pressure for Allen: he must try to fill Dawkins' void a year after he departed, and he was drafted with the pick the Eagles acquired for QB Donovan McNabb.  36. Kansas City Chiefs: Dexter McCluster, WR/RB, MississippiThis lightning bug gives the Chiefs a long-ball dimension. At 5-9, 172 pounds, he's not big and won't eat much into the load of RBs Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles, but his quickness could be lethal from the slot. His playmaking ability should also help open up the boundaries for WRs Dwayne Bowe and Chris Chambers. Side note: sounds like OC Charlie Weis didn't lobby for QB Jimmy Clausen, or didn't win the debate if he did.  35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Brian Price, DT, UCLAA feel-good story who's emerged from the hardscrabble streets of Los Angeles, Price should form quite a formidable duo with first-round pick Gerald McCoy ... perhaps reminiscent of Warren Sapp and Booger McFarland? Price's physicality should also help free McCoy to generate even more pressure up the gut. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan are on notice in the NFC South.  34. Minnesota Vikings (from Detroit Lions): Chris Cook, CB, VirginiaA big corner (6-2, 212 pounds), Cook could immediately step in given the ACL tear starting CB Cedric Griffin suffered in OT of the NFC title game. Antoine Winfield is also aging (he'll be 33 this year) and a problematic foot cost him games and effectiveness in 2009. Cook could translate to safety, too, if the Vikings are satisfied with the health and effectiveness of their veteran corners.  33. St. Louis Rams: Rodger Saffold, T, Indiana St. Louis begins Round 2 by upgrading rookie QB Sam Bradford's protection rather than his weaponry ... perhaps signaling the Rams don't want to take any chances with Bradford's reconstructed shoulder. Incumbent LT Alex Barron is a restricted free agent, but the Rams may find a way to unload the former first-rounder as last year's No. 2 pick, Jason Smith, seems destined for that post. Saffold might get plugged into a guard spot if Barron remains, but it appears he and Smith are the future bookends for a line that also includes solid C Jason Brown. Still needed: wideouts. -- Nate Davis
