Yes, you can make a case that many of these are 2nd round value. You can also make a case that many of the players that will be drafted from 33-48 are first round value. I would also be verty surprised to see Harrdy or Johnson available in the 3rd
===================================================
A) Without trades, we have four in the top 53,
plus our 118 and whatever we get for Thomas to get one or two of the players you mention.
B) Alternatively, we could trade our 53 for a 3rd and a 4th. We would then have our top three picks to get 2-3 players and we would also then have a 3rd, two 4ths and the pick we get for Thomas to get the next level of player.

There will be some very good values in the 3rd round. Right now, for example, NFLdraftscout has the following:
66 - OG Mike Johnson, Alabama
73 - DE/OLB Greg Hardy, Mississippi
75 - CB Amari Spievey, Iowa
81 - RB Dexter McCluster, Mississippi
86 - RB Toby Gerhart, Stanford
87 - LB Eric Norwood, South Carolina
88 - DE/OLB Austen Lane, Murray St.
91 - CB Kareem Jackson, Alabama
92 - WR Mardy Gilyard, Cincinnati
93 - OG Rodger Saffold, Indiana
94 - DE/DT Arthur Jones, Syracuse
96 - DE Alex Carrington, Arkansas St.
98 - CB Javier Arenas, Alabama
116 - TE Tony Moeaki, Iowa
117 - WR Erick Decker, Minnesota
125 - LB AJ Edds, Iowa
You can make a case that a lot of those guys could easily be 2nd round values. I also suspect I could draft 4 solid future starters from that list without much difficulty.
