The second round of the 2011 NFL Draft was filled with plenty of talent and players that slid out of the first round for one reason or another. As expected, there was a run on quarterbacks early in the round as Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick went back-to-back just a few picks into the round. The New England Patriots also continued their trading ways, shuffling picks around like they were a deck of cards.
