The Denver Broncos have selected UCF running back
RJ Harvey with the 60th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite moving back twice in the second round (via trades with the Panthers and Lions), Denver is still able to address a major position of need. In fact, the team previously made it known that they would select a running back at some point in the draft. Harvey was not viewed as a consensus Day 2 pick, but his upside is evident after he led the Big 12 with 6.8 yards per carry and 22 rushing touchdowns as a senior last year. He also tallied 1,577 rushing yards, 267 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns. The Broncos let
Javonte Williams walk during free agency and will presumably give Harvey an opportunity to compete for the starting running back job over
Jaleel McLaughlin and
Audric Estime.

The Las Vegas Raiders have selected TCU wide receiver
Jack Bech with the 58th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Bech spent his first two collegiate seasons at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two years of eligibility. As a senior, he caught 62 passes for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. The Louisiana native does not possess game-changing speed, explosiveness, or separation skills, but he makes up for it with his physicality and hands. His ball skills and gritty style of play can make him an effective pass-catcher or blocker, which should allow him to compete for snaps right away. In Las Vegas, he'll presumably vie for the No. 3 wide receiver role behind
Jakobi Meyers and
Tre Tucker.

The Los Angeles Chargers snagged wide receiver
Tre Harris out of Ole Miss with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Harris worked well with new Giants QB
Jaxson Dart in 2024, hauling in 60 catches for 1,030 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He missed five games with a lower-body injury. While he doesn't have the explosive speed or separation skills to be a true No. 1 WR, he has great strength and ball skills to be a reliable possession target. This is the second straight season the Bolts have added a wide receiver in Round 2, and now they'll look to pair Harris with last year's second-round pick,
Ladd McConkey, to build a strong young receiving corps to work with
Justin Herbert.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected Miami tight end
Elijah Arroyo with the 50th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Hurricanes but didn't register more than five catches until his senior year. As a senior, he broke out with 35 catches, 590 yards, and seven touchdowns. He has demonstrated a promising blend of speed, athleticism, and recognition when running his routes, and he has reliable hands when the quarterback throws a ball on the mark. He'll now be tasked with taking on a substantial role in the Seahawks' offense, which replaced
Geno Smith with
Sam Darnold during the offseason.

The Carolina Panthers have acquired the 51st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN's Field Yates. In full, eight picks are being swapped to complete this trade. Carolina acquired the 51st, 84th, 122nd, and 208th overall picks. Meanwhile, the Broncos received the 57th, 74th, 111th, and 230th selections. Carolina didn't possess its own second-round pick, so this will be their first selection of Day 2. On the opening night of the draft, they selected Arizona wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan.
UPDATE: Carolina selected Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton with the 51st overall pick.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Field Yates

The Arizona Cardinals have selected Michigan defensive back Will Johnson with the 47th overall pick during Friday's draft. Wow, well this could end up being a steal for the Cardinals as Johnson fell in the draft likely due to injury concerns. Johnson was viewed as a Day 1 prospect, but being limited to seven games last season probably hurt his draft stock. When healthy, Johnson has proven to be an elite zone coverage defensive back with good size and length. He finished his college career with 57 tackles, nine interceptions, and three returned touchdowns. Johnson should be a Day 1 starter and an immediate impact player on defense in Arizona.

The New York Jets added a solid pass-catching tight end in the second round by selecting
Mason Taylor out of LSU. The 20-year-old racked up 546 yards and two touchdowns in 2024, which was his most productive year in college. He looks the part of an NFL tight end and showed great hands by dropping just one of his 79 targets in 2024 after struggling with drops earlier in his career. His route tree expanded as the year went on, and he picked up more looks further down the field, although he was never a major deep threat. He has TE2 upside since there aren't many other options at the position for the Jets, and
Justin Fields has shown that he likes to connect on shorter passes over the middle to his tight end.

The Los Angeles Rams have selected Oregon tight end
Terrance Ferguson with the No. 46 pick in the second round of Friday's draft. On paper, this is a good upgrade for the Rams who needed another tight end alongside
Tyler Higbee. Ferguson finished as Oregon's all-time leader among tight ends with 134 receptions and 16 touchdowns during his college career. This past season, Ferguson finished with a career-high 43 receptions and 591 receiving yards in 12 games. He's quick and agile enough to possibly be helpful for screens as well. Rams' head coach Sean McVay isn't scared to use his offensive players in unique ways, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Ferguson making an impact right away in Los Angeles.

The Houston Texans have acquired the No. 48 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Las Vegas Raiders. In return, the Texans are sending the 58th and 99th picks back to the Raiders. Houston decided to spend its selection on Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery. A three-year starter at left tackle in college, Ersery will likely begin his NFL career on the right side of the offensive line. He'll be tasked with protecting
C.J. Stroud after Houston reshaped its offensive line this offseason, trading away Kenyon Green and Laremy Tunsil.

The Saints drafted quarterback
Tyler Shough near the top of the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, adding the QB from Louisville as the third quarterback off the board in the draft. The Saints took him ahead of
Shedeur Sanders from Colorado, who continues to slide in the second round. Shough is an intriguing prospect who has the physical tools to be a traditional pocket passer. He was inconsistent, though, especially with his lower-body mechanics in his time at Louisville. He has more experience than most draft picks as a seven-year college prospect and will turn 26 during the first month of the season. Even though he isn't a long-term development project, Shough could help the Saints in the short term since
Derek Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury, and his availability for 2025 is uncertain.

The Buffalo Bills have traded up to the 41st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. In full, Buffalo acquired the 41st, 72nd, and 240th picks from the Chicago Bears in exchange for the 56th, 62nd, and 109th picks. The Bills drafted cornerback Maxwell Hairston with their own pick in the first round Thursday, and now they're making an aggressive trade to move up in the second round. The deal also arms Chicago with two new second-round picks, plus a fourth-round selection. The Bears have been very devoted to improving their offense so far, selecting Michigan tight end
Colston Loveland and Missouri wide receiver
Luther Burden.
UPDATE: Buffalo took South Carolina defensive tackle T.J. Sanders with the 41st overall pick.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

The Miami Dolphins have selected Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea with the 37th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Miami acquired this pick, along with the 143rd overall selection, from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for the 48th, 98th, and 135th picks. Savaiinaea impressed at the combine and was one of the top remaining interior linemen available at this point in the draft. Miami will presumably deploy him at guard, though he does have some experience at tackle, too. Regardless of where he plants his hand, Savaiinaea should be able to provide major support in the trenches after the Dolphins lost Terron Armstead to retirement this offseason.
