The final day kicks off Saturday at noon ET. Will we hear Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders’ name?
The draft started with excitement on Thursday night. Miami quarterback Cam Ward was the No. 1 overall pick, heading to the Titans. The first big surprise was when the Jaguars traded a future first-round pick to grab two-way standout Travis Hunter from Colorado. In total, there were four trades in the first round, including the Giants making a move to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Marshall’s Mike Green, an edge rusher, had a longer wait than expected but was finally drafted late in the second round. Day 2 also saw four running backs picked: Quinshon Judkins from Ohio State (Browns), TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State (Patriots), RJ Harvey from UCF (Broncos), and Kaleb Johnson from Iowa (Steelers).
