37. Indianapolis Colts: Braden Smith, OG, Auburn

Smith will play inside for the Colts, going along with Quenton Nelson, Jack Mewhort and Ryan Kelly. Indianapolis desperately needed to add some beef up front to keep Andrew Luck upright, and this fits the bill.

Grade: A-

38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ronald Jones, RB, USC

Jones is the fifth running back off the board, and brings a tough back to Tampa Bay. The former USC star only ran a 4.65 40-yard dash at the combine, but he starred in the Pac 12. There’s plenty of reason to think he starts Week 1 behind Jameis Winston.

Grade: B

39. Chicago Bears: James Daniels, C, Iowa

Daniels was expected to go in the first round, but slides into the second to the Bears. This is a nice pick for Ryan Pace, who is having a very nice draft thus far.

Grade: B+

40. Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU

Denver makes somewhat of a surprise pick, taking Sutton from SMU. A big-bodied receiver, he was First-Team All-AAC last year, and now joins a talented room that includes Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Still, was it a real need? Tough to say.

Grade: A-
