UPI

GREEN BAY, Wis., April 25 (UPI) — Nick Emmanwori, Will Johnson and Shedeur Sanders, who received first-round evaluations, are among the top prospects available Friday, Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, which will include second- and third-round selections.

Second-round coverage from Green Bay, Wis., will start at 7 p.m. EDT and air on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. Thursday’s first round, which some 200,000 fans attended on the Lambeau Field campus, was led by former Miami quarterback Cam Ward and featured four trades.

Another 70 selections are on tap Friday, including six compensatory picks — awarded to teams based on free-agent departures — to end the third round.

The Cleveland Browns, who traded away the No. 2 overall pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, will pick first in the second round. They also will have the fourth selection and could choose Sanders after not picking a quarterback Thursday.

Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, Louisville’s Tyler Shough and Texas’ Quinn Ewers are among the other top quarterbacks still available.

Emmanwori, who rated as the No. 15 player in former scout Daniel Jeremiah’s Top 150 prospect list, is the top defensive prospect available. Michigan cornerback Will Johnson, who rated just behind the South Carolina safety, Marshall edge rusher Mike Green, Boston College edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku and Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton are among the other available top defensive players.

Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III, LSU tight end Mason Taylor and Ohio State running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins are among the top offensive players available.

The Houston Texans own five picks on Day 2. The Washington Commanders, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers own just one pick apiece.

Coverage for rounds four through seven will start at noon Saturday on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network.
