There should be more buzz around the passers in the 2023 NFL draft, but the early front-runner to be the No. 1 pick is a defensive standout.

Even after seven rounds and 262 picks, there were several notable names that weren’t selected at any point in the 2022 NFL draft.

Making the most of Day 2 of the NFL draft can be an essential step in building a contender, but not everyone stood out for the right reasons Friday.

While most of the marquee names have already been selected, there are plenty of promising prospects still waiting to be taken in the NFL draft.

The Eagles pulled off one of the most stunning moves of the NFL draft by landing wide receiver A.J. Brown in a deal with the Titans.

Picking at No. 1 overall for the second consecutive year, the Jaguars went with Travon Walker ahead of more productive pass rushers in the NFL draft.

The lack of consensus throughout the 2022 NFL draft could create a landscape in which several prospects defy expectations as unlikely Day 1 picks.

Several players who have been mainstays of first-round mock drafts could see their NFL draft waits extend all the way to Friday.
