2023 NFL Draft picks and analysis: Titans take Will Levis, Lions get Hendon Hooker

Updated Apr. 28, 2023 11:27 p.m. ET

The 2023 NFL Draft continued Friday with Rounds 2 and 3.

Here are the results from Night 2 of the draft, complete with analysis from FOX Sports draft expert Rob Rang's Top 100 rankings.

Round 2

32) Pittsburgh Steelers: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State

Rang: NFL scouts love athletic bloodlines almost as much as they love the length, physicality and tenacity Porter provided the Nittany Lions over his career, including the zero touchdowns allowed in 2022.

33) Tennessee Titans (trade from Arizona): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky

Rang: The traits are undeniable and so, too, is his experience in pro-style offenses at Kentucky. But necessary improvements in Levis' decision-making keep him outside the tier of elite prospects on my board.

34) Detroit Lions: Sam Laporta, TE, Iowa

Rang: Iowa struggled throwing the football in 2022. Don’t blame that on LaPorta, whose combination of soft hands, agility and toughness make him arguably the best of this year’s tight ends after the catch.

35) Las Vegas Raiders (trade from Indianapolis): Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

Rang: Mayer wasn't likely to be selected in the top 10, but when we look back on this draft years from now, he's expected to be a standout starter, with his true dual-threat abilities as a pass-catcher and blocker unique even in this relatively strong tight end class.

36) Los Angeles Rams: Steve Avila, OL, TCU

Rang: Among the most pro-ready interior offensive linemen in this class, Avila has extensive starting experience at both guard and center, frustrating opponents with his balance, power and tenacity.

37): Seattle Seahawks: Derick Hall, OLB, Auburn

Rang: Similarly built and gifted as former Auburn standout Carl Lawson, Hall is a compactly built rusher with a speed/power combination that will challenge NFL blockers.

38) Atlanta Falcons (trade from Indianapolis): Matthew Bergeron, OL, Syracuse

Rang: Quick and smooth out of his stance in pass protection, Bergeron starred at left tackle for the Orangemen, but his average arm length (33 5/8") might push him inside to guard in the NFL.

39) Carolina Panthers: Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss

Rang: One of the biggest risers since the end of the season, Mingo boasts an exceptional size/speed combination that has some teams wondering if he won’t continue the recent Ole Miss tradition of big receivers — like DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown — exploding in the NFL.

40) New Orleans Saints: Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame

Rang: Foskey comes with a bit of "buyer beware," as well as he currently lacks the power and nastiness preferred against the run, but his 20.5 sacks over the past two seasons and projectable traits could push him into the first round.

41) Arizona Cardinals: BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU

Rang: If he were an inch taller, Ojulari might rank as a top-20 prospect, but as is, his burst, bend and tenacity might warrant first-round consideration, regardless.

42) Green Bay Packers: Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State

Rang: In a classic case of projecting better to the NFL than he did in the college game, Musgrave offers an exceptional combination of size, speed, soft mitts and pro bloodlines — but buyer beware, this Senior Bowl standout's lack of production in Corvallis requires a closer look.

43) New York Jets: Joe Tippmann, C, Wisconsin

Rang: It isn't often that centers warrant top-50 consideration, but Tippmann is unique, offering an exceptional combination of size, athleticism and experience in a pro-style offense.

44) Indianapolis Colts: Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State

Rang: Long, lanky and physical, Brents possesses the size and tenacity of a safety — which is where he starred as a freshman for Iowa — with the balance and body control of a classic press corner.

45) Detroit Lions (trade from Green Bay): Brian Branch, S, Alabama

Rang: Like Robinson a few spots earlier, Branch stars at a position few teams can justify spending a top-10 selection to address. He is the most reliable open-field tackler in this draft, however.

46) New England Patriots: Keion White, EDGE, Georgia Tech

Rang: The Yellow Jackets have produced just two top-100 draft picks on defense over the past decade. But White, a transfer from Old Dominion who excelled in 2022, could join them. His size and athleticism suggest he could play all over an NFL defensive line.

47) Washington Commanders: Jartavius Martin, CB, Illinois

48) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cody Mauch, OL, North Dakota State

Rang: The highest-ranked non-FBS prospect on this list, Mauch is a left tackle who plays with a guard mentality, routinely tossing opponents to the ground. He erased any concerns about his level of competition following a stellar week at the Senior Bowl and combine.

49) Pittsburgh Steelers: Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin

Rang: Arguably this year's "biggest" winner from the Senior Bowl, Benton showed off surprising quickness and balance as a rusher, complementing the power he showed as a run-stuffing nose guard for the Badgers.

50) Green Bay Packers: Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State

51) Miami Dolphins: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

52) Seattle Seahawks: Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA

Rang: The latest star runner for Chip Kelly, Charbonnet’s name (Shar-bo-nay) rolls off the tongue about as smoothly as he does through contact, with the prototypically built back showing a blend of vision, burst and power to project as a future standout starter in the NFL.

53) Chicago Bears: Gervon Dexter, DT, Florida

Rang: Massive and powerful, Dexter is a virtual cinder block against the run, planting roots at the line of scrimmage and swallowing up runners attempting to slip by.

54) Los Angeles Chargers: Tuli Tuipulotu, DL, USC

Rang: A landslide winner as the most dominant defensive lineman in the PAC-12 per that league's blockers, Tuipuloto quietly led the entire country in sacks, attacking from a variety of positions. To be as good in the NFL as he was in college, Tuipuloto might need a similarly creative defensive coordinator as the Trojans' Alex Grinch.

55) Kansas City Chiefs (trade from Detroit): Rashee Rice, WR, SMU

56) Chicago Bears (trade from Jacksonville): Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami

57) New York Giants: John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota

Rang: Teams are hesitant to use early picks on interior offensive linemen, but true plug-and-play blockers like Schmitz — a four-year starter who aced evaluations at the combine and Senior Bowl — warrant the investment.

58) Dallas Cowboys: Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan

59) Buffalo Bills: O'Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida

Rang: Big, physical and nasty, Torrence followed his head coach, Billy Napier, to Florida from Louisiana and starred in 2022, dominating the SEC's line of scrimmage with his girth and power, just as he did in the Sun Belt.

60) Cincinnati Bengals: DJ Turner, CB, Michigan

Rang: An elite speedster overshadowed by all of the talent in Ann Arbor, Turner is a classic (albeit undersized) cover corner with the agility, acceleration and awareness to contribute immediately.

61) Jacksonville Jaguars: Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State

62) Houston Texans: Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State

63) Denver Bronocs (trade from Detroit): Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma

Round 3

64) Chicago Bears: Zacch Pickens, DL, South Carolina

65) Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Steen, G, Alabama

66) Philadelphia Eagles: Syndey Brown, S, Illinois

67) Pittsburgh Steelers: Drew Sanders, OLB, Arkansas

Rang: An Alabama transfer who immediately excelled for the Razorbacks, Sanders offers a unique blend of size, speed and athleticism, showing burst upfield as a pass rusher, as well as awareness and physicality behind the line of scrimmage.

68) Detroit Lions (trade from Denver): Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee Titans

Rang: One of the biggest risers (back) up my board after medical evaluations at the combine proved he was progressing ahead of schedule from the ACL tear that abruptly ended his college career, Hooker has the experience, production and instincts to project as a future NFL starter.

69) Houston Texans (trade from Los Angeles Rams): Tank Dell, WR, Houston

70) Las Vegas Raiders: Byron Young, DT, Alabama

71) New Orleans Saints, Kendre Miller, RB, TCU

72) Arizona Cardinals (trade from Detroit): Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse

73) New York Giants (trade from Los Angeles Rams): Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee

Rang: In many ways the poster boy behind Tennessee's sudden ascent this season, Hyatt racked up a staggering 1,267 receiving yards and 15 touchdown grabs (both leading the SEC), showing off game-breaking speed.

74) Cleveland Browns: Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

Rang: Overshadowed in 2022 due to the emergence of speedy teammate Jalin Hyatt, Tillman is actually the more polished of the two, offering a more complete combination of size, fluidity and pro-readiness than many of the smaller receivers of this class.

75) Atlanta Falcons: Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State

76) New England Patriots: Marte Mapu, LB, Sacramento State

77) Los Angeles Rams: Byron Young, EDGE, Tennessee

78) Green Bay Packers: Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State

Rang: Kraft is not likely to be the highest-drafted Jackrabbit ever, as former SDSU offensive guard Lynn Boden was selected 13th overall by Detroit back in 1975, but he has a good chance at joining South Dakota State tight ends Dallas Goedert (Eagles, 2018) and Steve Heiden (Chargers, 1999) as the only other top-100 selections in school history due to his rare combination of height, speed and soft mitts.

79) Indianapolis Colts: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina

Rang: A potentially lethal slot receiver and punt returner with electric quickness and exceptional ball skills to make difficult grabs look easy, Downs is going to make some NFL team look very smart for nabbing him on Day 2.

80) Carolina Panthers (trade from Pittsburgh): DJ Johnson, LB, Oregon

81) Tennessee Titans: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane

82) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: YaYa Diaby, EDGE, Louisville

83) Denver Broncos (trade from Seattle): Riley Moss, DB, Iowa

84) Miami Dolphins: Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M

85) Los Angeles Chargers: Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State

Rang: A virtual unknown outside of the Pac-12, Henley was named one of three finalists for the Butkus Award this past season for the Cougars by demonstrating an NFL-caliber build, speed and physicality — making him one of the very few linebackers in this class to warrant early Day Two consideration.

86) Baltimore Ravens: Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Rang: In yet another below-average year for off-ball linebackers, Simpson's speed and production (including 23 tackles for loss and 13 sacks) over three seasons at Clemson stand out, with the former Tiger projecting best as a run-and-chase outside linebacker in a traditional 4-3 alignment.

87) San Francisco 49ers (trade from Minnesota): Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State

88) Jacksonville Jaguars: Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn

89) Los Angeles Rams: Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest

90) Dallas Cowboys: DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas

91) Buffalo Bills: Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane

92) Kansas City Chiefs (trade from Cincinnati): Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma

93) Pittsburgh Steelers: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia

Rang: Washington’s imposing frame and perceived upside is even more impressive than the two-time national champion’s production, projecting similarly to the NFL as longtime league standout Marcedes Lewis.

94) Arizona Cardinals: Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford

95) Cincinnati Bengals: Jordan Battle, S, Alabama

Compensatory picks

96) Detroit Lions (trade from Arizona): Brodric Martin, DT, Western Kentucky

97) Washington Commanders: Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas

98) Cleveland Browns: Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor

99) San Francisco 49ers: Jake Moody, K, Michigan

100) Las Vegas Raiders: Tre Tucker, WR, Cincinnati

101) San Francisco 49ers: Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama

102) Minnesota Vikings: Mekhi Blackmon, CB, USC
