NFL DRAFT: DAY 2 RAPID REACTION

The day started with a lot of elite prospects on the board and 4 invitees still in KC. 3 of the players decided to head home, but Alabama DB Brian Branch remained and got his moment on the draft stage. Joey Porter Jr and Will Levis didn’t have to wait long on Friday to hear their names called as they went to the Steelers and Titans respectively. We take a look at the best picks in each round as well as some head scratchers. Our Best of Day 3 article will be dropping very soon to get you ready for Rounds 4 through 7.
