2025 NFL Draft Round 2 live updates: Team picks, Shedeur Sanders landing spots, trade rumors, start time (2025)

Shedeur Sanders falls out of second round

Sanders fell out of the second round, and so far, things aren't looking great in the third round. The Browns and Raiders both held one of the first four picks in the round and they both passed on Sanders. The Browns took Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr. at 67 and then the Raiders followed that up by taking CB Darien Porter at 68th overall.

At this point, the Steelers seem like Sanders' best shot and they pick at 83rd overall. Of course, a dark horse like the Colts could also enter the conversation. The Rams, who pick at 90th, could also be a team to watch.

Mike Green's dramatic fall finally ends

The Marshall pass-rusher, who led the nation with 17.5 sacks in 2024 has finally been drafted. The Ravens selected Green with the 59th overall pick marking their second defensive pick of the draft. Green was projected to be a first-round pick, but he tumbled down the board due to character issues (You can read the details here).

Raiders add a weapon for Geno Smith

After trading back twice, the Raiders finally made a pick in the second round and although they were viewed as a possible landing spot for Sanders, they ended up passing on him. Instead, the Raiders decided to bring in a weapon for Geno Smith by drafting TCU receiver Jack Bech. The receiver's brother, Tiger Bech, was one of the victims of the terrorist attack in New Orleans back in January, so he'll certainly be taking the memory of his brother with him to the NFL.

Quinshon Judkins was in the bathroom when the Browns tried to call him

When the Browns drafted Quinshon Judkins with the 36th overall pick, they had some trouble getting a hold of him and that's because he was in the bathroom! Judkins' mom was forced to answer the phone, but the good news it that everything seemed to work out.

UPDATE: Judkins was NOT in the bathroom. He was getting lemonade.

Seahawks grab a tight end

There's been a run on tight ends in the second round. The Seahawks became the third team to grab one when they selected Miami's Elijah Arroyo at 50th overall.

There have been five tight ends draft through the first 50 picks, which is tied for the most ever since the common draft era started in 1967.

Raiders trade back again

The Raiders had originally had the 37th overall pick, but they still haven't made a pick in the second round after trading back again. The Raiders first moved back to 48th, and now, they've traded back to 58th.

Here's a look at the deal:
Raiders get: Picks 58 and 99
Texans get: 48

The Texans then used their newly acquired pick to select Minnesota OT Aireontae Ersery. CJ Stroud is probably going to like this pick.

Will Johnson's fall ends at pick 47

The Michigan cornerback was projected as a first-round pick, but he fell down the draft board due to some concerns about a knee that could limit his longevity in the NFL. The Cardinals threw those concerns out the window and grabbed Johnson with the 47th overall pick.

Rams make their first pick of the draft

The Rams were in the market for a tight end and they landed one by taking Oregon's Terrance Ferguson with the 46th overall pick.

The Rams didn't get to make a selection in the first-round because they traded their pick away to Atlanta, so Ferguson will go down as the first pick of the draft for Los Angeles. The Rams were the final team to make a pick this year.

Cowboys make a splash

Adding a pass-rusher was a must for the Cowboys and they got that done in the second round by taking Boston College's Donovan Ezeiruaku with the 44th overall pick. Ezeiruaku was projected by many to be a first-round pick, so this feels like a steal for the Cowboys.

Jets finally get a tight end

There was a lot of speculation that the Jets might take a tight end in the first round and although that didn't happen, they did fill that need in the second round by taking LSU's Mason Taylor with the 42nd overall pick, who has a very famous relative who also played for the Jets.

Saints somehow got older at QB

If Tyler Shough starts for the Saints, he'll be the second-oldest QB in the NFC South.

• Baker Mayfield: 30 (April 14, 1995)
• Shough: 25 (Sept. 28, 1999)
• Michael Penix: 24 (May 8, 2000)
• Bryce Young: 23 (July 25, 2001)

Bills move up 15 spots in the second round

The Bills had the 56th overall pick, but now, they're on the clock at 41st overall after making a trade with the Bears.

Here's a look at the deal:
Bears get: Picks 56, 62 and 109
Bills get: Picks 41, 72 and 240

The Bills then used the 41st overall pick on DT T.J. Sanders out of South Carolina.

SAINTS TAKE A QB... but not Shedeur Sanders

The third quarterback is officially off the board, but it's not Shedeur Sanders. With the 40th overall pick, the Saints selected Louisville QB Tyler Shough. He's 25 and he spent seven years in college, but with Derek Carr possibly set to miss the season, Shough could definitely compete for the starting job this year.

This is the highest the Saints have drafted a QB since 1971 when they took Archie Manning with the second overall pick.

Bears add another weapon

The Bears offense might officially be loaded. They beefed up their offensive line in free agency and they've used the draft to add two new weapons. After taking Colston Loveland in the first round, they followed that up by taking Luther Burden III with the 39th overall pick. Burden was projected by many to be a first-round pick, so this is a solid get for the Bears.

Running backs are back

TreVeyon Henderson was the fourth running back selected this year and this now marks just the second time over the past 15 years that four or more running backs have been taken in the top 40.

Patriots add more help for Drake Maye

The Patriots started off the draft by getting some protection for Drake Maye, and now, they've added a weapon for their franchise quarterback. With the 38th overall pick, the Patriots selected Ohio State running back TreyVeyon Henderson.

Raiders trade out of 37th pick in a deal with the Dolphins

The Raiders were a potential landing spot for Shedeur Sanders, but they decided to trade out of the 37th pick. The Raiders have sent the 37th and 143rd picks to the Dolphins in exchange for pick 48, pick 98, and pick 135. With the 37th pick, the Dolphins have selected Jonah Savaiinea.

Browns pass on Shedeur Sanders again at 36th overall

It's pretty clear that the Browns have no interest in Shedeur Sanders. Not only did they pass on him at 33rd overall, but they passed on him again with the 36th overall pick. The Browns used the pick on Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins, which makes sense, because running back was one of their bigger needs. Judkins going before fellow Ohio State teammate TreVeyon Henderson is somewhat surprising.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST TRADE OF THE SECOND ROUND

The Titans have traded the 35th overall pick to the Seahawks. Seattle will be sending the 52nd overall pick and the 82nd pick to Tennessee. The Seahawks are in need of a receiver or possibly some help in the secondary and they ended up going for the latter by taking safety Nick Emmanwori.

Texans add some help for CJ Stroud at 34th overall

After trading away their first-round pick, the Texans finally got to make their first pick of the draft and they selected Iowa State receiver Jayden Higgins. Higgins will join a receiving room that already includes Nico Collins, Christian Kirk and Tank Dell.

Browns make the first pick of the second round and it's not Shedeur Sanders

The draft got off to a crazy start last night after the Browns agreed to a shocking trade, but that won't be happening tonight. The Browns decided to stay at 33 and they selected: UCLA LB Carson Schwesinger.

This was the 33rd overall pick and the Browns are on the clock again at 36th overall, so it will be interesting to see what they do there.

Donald Trump has some thoughts about the Shedeur Sanders situation

The fall of Shedeur Sanders in the draft is such a hot topic that even the President of the United States is weighing in.

Mason Graham says the Browns got the best player in the draft

The Browns' new defensivetackle definitely isn't lacking any confidence.

"I just feel like Cleveland is getting one of the best players, if not the best player in the draft. I feel like I can do everything, and I can play anywhere along the front. Coming in with Myles [Garrett] and all the guys along the front is only going to make this team better."

The one problem for Brown is that there's going to be A LOT of pressure on him. If Graham struggles and Travis Hunter looks like an All-Pro, the Browns are going to be getting ripped for this pick for years to come. You'll be able to add it to the long list of bad draft decisions by the Browns.

One team to watch in the second round: The Rams

The Rams will be making their first pick of the draft at 46th overall. They didn't get to make a pick during the first-round and that's because they made a trade with the Falcons that sent a 2026 first-round pick to Los Angeles.

How does Sean McVay feel about having two first-round picks in 2026?

That feels like some foreshadowing. I won't be surprised if the Rams try to pull off a trade. If they wanted to hit a home run, they could call the Bengals and offer the first-round pick they got from the Falcons in a deal for Trey Hendrickson.

No matter what happens, it will be interesting to see what the Rams do.

Travis Hunter has arrived in Jacksonville

Let's take a look at Travis Hunter getting a warm welcome in Jacksonville

Biggest questions heading into Day 2

Josh Edwards covered some of the biggest questions heading into tonight and here's what he came up with:

Will there be any veteran trades? There are thought to be several veterans across the league on the trading block. Among the players thought to be available are Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, Steelers wide receiver George Pickens and Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins.

What will the Rams and Texans do with their first picks of the draft? The Texans and Rams were the only two teams that did not make a pick in the round. Best prospects available do not exactly align with the Texans' needs, especially after two offensive tackles were taken in the final four picks of the first round. Could they be a team that addresses wide receiver or trade back again? As for the Rams, They still need to address cornerback, but there was some talk regarding their interest in wide receivers and tight ends Thursday night.

He's got a few more questions that you can check out here.

NFL Draft: Biggest snubs of Round 1

Shedeur Sanders was one of the players who got snubbed on Thursday, but who else made the list? Let's take a look at four snubs not named Shedeur Sanders

• CB Will Johnson (Michigan)."Johnson is one of the best cover corners in this draft, having the IQ to find the football and make plays when in range. So how did Johnson fall out of Round 1? Johnson has a knee issue that's been flagged by teams, and the longevity of the injury is the question going forward. He also suffered shoulder and toe injuries last season, and a hamstring injury kept Johnson out of Michigan's Pro Day."
• EDGE Mike Green (Marshall)."Off-field concerns are why Green fell out of Round 1. He had a sexual assault allegation while playing at Virginia and another sexual assault allegation in high school, which left teams questioning his character. Virginia even requested he sign a zero-tolerance policy."
• S Nick Emmanwori (South Carolina)."He's a Week 1 starter at safety, so why is Emmanwori still on the board? Safeties just don't get taken high in the draft, as Malaki Starks was the only one taken in the first round at No. 27. Emmanwori is a good player, and should be an excellent bargain for the team that drafts him in the second round."
• EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku (Boston College)."Ezeiruaku finished top three in the FBS in both sacks (16.5) and tackles for loss (20.5). So why wasn't he picked Thursday? The height and frame are concerns for teams, but the sack production is there."

This list comes from Jeff Kerr, and you can check out hisfull explanation for each snub here

Steelers trade rumors: George Pickens to get dealt?

There's been some speculation that the Steelers might look to trade George Pickens. Apparently, teams have been calling about him and the Steelers have been to open to conversations, according to The Athletic. One reason the Steelers might be willing to make a deal is because they don't have a second-round pick.
