Day One was a wild and rainy event in Nashville, and that was only the beginning. We saw reaches in Oakland taking Clelin Ferrell at No. 4 overall and the Giants taking their heir to Eli in Daniel Jones. The two teams also made history by marking the 2019 NFL Draft as the first draft in history to have two teams with three picks a piece in the first-round.
So with so much crazy on Day One, where does that leave us for Day Two?
The Fallen Five
After the New England Patriots turned in the final pick of the Day One of the NFL Draft, there were five players left in the green room: Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, Oklahoma guard Cody Ford, Florida tackle Jawaan Taylor, LSU cornerback Greedy Williams, and Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf.
Those players will top the list of players available for selection when Round 2 kicks off at 7 P.M. EST.
New Day, New Teams
Day Two of the NFL Draft will bring a number of teams into the fold. The Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, and New Orleans Saints were already slated to miss out on the first-round, barring a trade up (which didn’t happen for any team). All but the Bears will enter the draft come Round 2, the Bears will join in Round 3 – byproduct of their stellar trade for All-Pro linebacker Khalil Mack.
The Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams traded out of the first-round last night, and will also join the party in Round 2.
Multiple Multiples
The Colts will be on the clock early in Round 2 and have the most picks of the round with three. The Broncos, Eagles, Texans, Patriots, and Chiefs all have two picks.
In Round 3, the Rams and the Patriots have the most picks with three apiece. The Ravens, Panthers, Redskins, Jaguars, Jets, and Steelers all have two picks. All this accumulation of capital makes it very likely for movement once any of these teams are on the clock.
Veterans on the Move
Two key veteran departures to watch for on Day Two are the potential trade of Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen and the release of Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Both cases are worth paying attention to for very different reasons.
Rosen, the 10th overall pick last year, is now expendable after the Cards drafted Kyler No. 1 overall last night. With three teams drafting quarterbacks in Round 1, the pool of teams who need a quarterback has shrunk considerably. The teams left to watch for making a potential move are the Dolphins, Patriots, Packers, and Chargers.
In regards to Hill, the star receiver for the Chiefs entered the league under the disgusting cloud of having beaten his pregnant girlfriend. That got swept under the rug. Then more recently reports surfaced Hill now in trouble for having beaten his three year-old child, and just yesterday audio was released by his girlfriend regarding the situation.
It’s a disgusting story and shouldn’t be hard for you to track down, should you want further detail. I don’t want to write any more on it. Hill, should have never played in the league to begin with and shouldn’t ever again after all this surfaced. The Chiefs cut star running back Kareem Hunt last year for a physical altercation with a woman, it will be worth watching if they follow suit.
