2025 Draft: Day Two Recap

Bissett breaks down the numbers from Day Two

Day 2 of the NFL draft was a frenzy, with teams loading up on both sides of the ball. Quarterbacks were hot commodities, with Louisville's Tyler Shough landing in New Orleans and Alabama's Jalen Milroe heading to Seattle. Defenses also got a serious makeover, as cornerbacks flew off the board (a staggering 13!), closely followed by edge rushers (10).

Some teams earned instant praise – Seattle's pick of Milroe is already being hailed as a potential steal. Others, like San Francisco and Detroit, left analysts scratching their heads with some eyebrow-raising choices.

As we head into Day 3, some serious talent is still up for grabs. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Purdue IOL Marcus Mbow are still waiting to hear their names called, and they're both poised to make an immediate impact.

Here's a breakdown of the offensive and defensive players drafted by position:.
