NFL Draft Day 2 Winners and Losers: Eagles, Rams Shine While Others Stumble
Day 2 of the NFL Draft saw 100 total picks across rounds 2 and 3. The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams emerged as big winners with smart trades and value picks, while other teams made questionable moves.
The second and third rounds of the NFL Draft wrapped up with clear winners and losers emerging from 100 total selections.
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman continued his strong draft performance, making the winners list for the second straight day with strategic trades and value selections. The Los Angeles Rams also impressed under Sean McVay's guidance.
The Houston Texans bolstered their defense with picks that made their unit "scarier" according to analysts. Meanwhile, some teams reunited family members, including the Terrell brothers.
Day 2 saw quarterbacks Carson Beck and Drew Allar selected, with both potentially starting in 2026. Eleven wide receivers came off the board along with 10 pass rushers and nine tight ends.
The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both made smart trades to improve their draft position. Some teams reached for players while others found steals that fell further than expected.
Analysts noted several players who surprisingly dropped in the draft, creating value opportunities for teams picking later in these rounds.
These picks shape NFL rosters for years to come and affect how competitive your favorite team will be. Smart Day 2 drafting often separates championship contenders from also-rans since these players become key starters.
Day 3 of the NFL Draft continues Saturday with rounds 4-7, where teams fill out rosters and hunt for hidden gems.
