NEW YORK (AP) -- The second day of the NFL Draft provided the usual assortment of highly regarded players who had just enough questions about them to cause their status to fall.
One early pick Sunday was wounded in a drive-by shooting, and another is the undersized son of a former NFL star. A third player is a quarterback who runs as well as he throws, and a fourth is a running back coming off a serious knee injury.
There also was a baseball player, Drew Henson, who was chosen in the sixth round by the Houston Texans, adding to the team's collection of young quarterbacks that also includes David Carr, the No. 1 overall pick last year, and Dave Ragone, chosen Saturday in the third round.
And finally, there is Ken Dorsey, who lost only two games in his career as Miami's quarterback but wasn't chosen until San Francisco drafted him 21 picks from the end. He did better than Heisman runner-up Brad Banks of Iowa and Jason Gesser of Washington State, two star QBs who weren't taken at all.
It started when Dennis Weathersby (the wounded player), Dan Klecko (son of the NFL star), Seneca Wallace (the versatile QB) and Lee Suggs (knee) went quickly in the fourth round in the second day of the NFL Draft instead of on the first.
