With Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft in the books, it’s time to take a look at how Rounds 2 and 3 could play out tonight in Green Bay, Wisconsin, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on NFL Network. And heading into Day 2 of this draft, a whole bunch of high-profile prospects remain available, including a certain Colorado quarterback …
When will Shedeur Sanders‘ name be called? It will be fascinating to see. At this point, though, I won’t be shocked if his wait extends through another round — and a couple more quarterbacks.
I know quarterback will be on everyone’s minds — and we’ll get there in a bit, Browns fans. In the meantime, Cleveland could use a Nick Chubb replacement who can handle three-down duty.
This would be a classic analytics-based pick with big upside. Taylor is a good receiving threat with strong bloodlines (SEE: Hall of Fame father Jason Taylor and Hall of Fame uncle Zach Thomas), and he hasn’t yet turned 21 years old.
Johnson, who had a top-30 visit with the Raiders, remains available here because of health and speed concerns. Pete Carroll loves long corners, and Tom Brady loves Michigan men.
New Bears DC Dennis Allen likes his edge rushers a little bigger, and the hard-working JTT is a forceful player to help Chicago up front.
Character questions were part of the Marshall product’s pre-draft process, possibly pushing him out of the first round, but the reigning FBS leader in sacks has elite rush capabilities.
Rumored to be a possible late first-rounder, Amos instead lands in a great spot in San Fran and could compete for a starting job immediately.
Indianapolis pounced on tight end Tyler Warren in the first round. And if it works out this way, these might be Chris Ballard’s easiest first two picks ever. The hyper-athletic Emmanwori can be an enforcer.
Schwesinger has a great GPS for the ball, and he should be well shielded behind a fantastic defensive line. Not to mention, the SoCal native and UCLA product gets to stay in Los Angeles.
The Cardinals could stand to add more speed at receiver. Noel provides it, having blazed a 4.39 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Miami is going to look different at corner, and Williams is a long cover man with a track record of taking the ball away (FBS-high seven picks in 2024).
Offensive guard remains a need in Cincinnati, but new DC Al Golden gets his former Notre Dame free safety to bolster the Bengals’ secondary.
Sean Payton said he wanted chess pieces on offense, and Arroyo — if he can stay healthy — is a big-framed, big-play receiver who could be Payton’s next Jimmy Graham.
The slide is over for Ezeiruaku, who finished second in the FBS with 16.5 sacks this past season. He could be a great fit on Tampa’s front.
The Chargers still need some muscle inside, and the mature Alexander would fit well with their aggressive style of defense.
Burch, who had a pre-draft visit with the Panthers, would help Carolina up front, even if he’s not an elite pass rusher.
The Texans could double up on OL picks in Round 2, but they can’t forget about receiver. Harris is a solid player who upgrades that room.
A Ravens-y tackle prospect with great size. Baltimore needs to think short and long term about the O-line, and Ersery could be tried at guard early.
If there’s a team that can — and would — take a risk on a top-50 talent with injury questions such as Morrison, it’s the Eagles.
