2023 NFL mock draft: Second, third-round projections after wild first round

Well wasn’t that something.

The first round of the 2023 NFL draft featured a lot of surprises (we’re looking at you, Detroit). It was a wild night one, which included trades galore, an early run on quarterbacks and some top prospects falling.

Round 2 kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. CT, where teams without a first-round pick will begin making their selections (Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers).

With several first-round capable talents still on the board, as well as a plethora of skill and depth, here’s my two-round mock draft for Day 2:
