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.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori with the 35th pick in the NFL Draft. This pick originally belonged to the Tennessee Titans but was flipped to Seattle in a trade while Tennessee was on the clock Friday night. In exchange for the 35th pick, Seattle sent the 52nd and 82nd picks back to the Titans. Emmanwori totaled 88 tackles (including three tackles for loss) and four interceptions through 13 games during his final collegiate season. He is a physical playmaker known for his skillful tackling and ability to disrupt plays. His good downfield speed makes him a candidate to start immediately on defense.

The Houston Texans selected Iowa State wide receiver
Jayden Higgins with the 34th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Houston obtained this pick from the New York Giants, who previously moved up to select
Jaxson Dart in Round 1. After four wide receivers were drafted in the first round of the draft Thursday night, Higgins became the first receiver selected in the second round Friday. He caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns during his final collegiate season. Known for his large wingspan and outstanding ball skills, Higgins could contribute right away with the Texans. Houston lost
Stefon Diggs via free agency this offseason, and they'll likely open the 2025 season without
Tank Dell (knee) as he recovers from a torn ACL. Higgins will have a chance to earn reps in three-receiver sets alongside
Nico Collins and offseason addition
Christian Kirk.

Sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that several teams that are picking in the high 30s and 40s are calling the Cleveland Browns (No. 33 overall), Houston Texans (No. 34) and Tennessee Titans (No. 35) about potential trades to try and come up early into the second round of this year's NFL draft on Friday. Wide receiver and edge rusher are viewed as two positions as having big drop-offs in talent and a wide range of evaluations, which is why those two positions are expected to be targeted by teams early in the second round. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah thinks that Iowa State receivers
Jayden Higgins and
Jaylin Noel and Missouri wideout
Luther Burden III could come off the board early on Friday, as well as edge rushers such as Marshall's Mike Green, Boston College's Donovan Ezeiruaku and Arkansas' Landon Jackson.
