NFL Draft: Edge Rushers, WRs Dominate Round 2

About this episode

Day two of the NFL Draft saw a flurry of trades and picks, with no running backs or quarterbacks selected in round two for the first time in twenty-three years. The Eagles Howie Roseman made waves by trading for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard and signing him to a massive deal. Offensive weapons dominated the early rounds, with a record-tying seventeen wide receivers and nine tight ends selected. Defense also shone, with twenty-two players picked in round two, tying a historical high. Fans enjoyed fun moments like Logan Jones free ketchup and the Falcons brother reunion, but third-round quarterbacks drew criticism. The 49ers faced heat for reaching on wide receiver DeZhaun Stribling and passing on corner Jermod McCoy. Running backs cooled off, with just one selected in round three. As the draft enters day three, expect running backs to rebound and more value hunts, with these early moves already reshaping rosters for the long haul.
