2017 NFL Draft, Day 2: Pick-By-Pick Analysis

Tracking and analyzing each pick on Day 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft, going through the second and third round.

Predicting how the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft played out would've been downright impossible. Things got chaotic almost immediately. The Cleveland Browns played in smart and took Myles Garrett first-overall. After that, though, it was anarchy.

The Chicago Bears traded up one spot — likely for a player who would've still been there at No. 3 — with the San Francisco 49ers. Even after signing Mike Glennon in free agency, they use the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to take Mitchell Trubisky, the quarterback out of North Carolina. Thus started the mayhem in a big way.

We saw two more teams trade up for quarterbacks in the top 12 of the first round as well. The Kansas City Chiefs moved up 17 picks with the Buffalo Bills to take Patrick Mahomes, the new heir-apparent to Alex Smith. Two picks later, the Houston Texans made sure they weren't left wanting and moved up 13 spots to take Deshaun Watson, courtesy of a trade with the Browns.

As a result of that, and other factors, there were also big fallers in the first round. Guys like Jonathan Allen, Malik Hooker and most certainly Reuben Foster fell way further down the board than expected. They didn't fall as far as guys like Cam Robinson, Forrest Lamp and Dalvin Cook, however. Those players are still left on the board after the first round.

Which all brings us to Day 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft. The second and third rounds (picks No. 33 – 107) will be selected on Friday night. Below, we'll be tracking every pick throughout the night and providing some quick hitting instant analysis to each pick. The Green Bay Packers start on the clock after trading down to No. 33:
