2025 NFL Draft, Day 2 mock: RB TreVeyon Henderson leads off Round 2; Raiders stop Will Johnson's slide

With Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft in the books, it's time to take a look at how Rounds 2 and 3 could play out tonight in Green Bay, Wisconsin, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on NFL Network. And heading into Day 2 of this draft, a whole bunch of high-profile prospects remain available, including a certain Colorado quarterback ...

When will Shedeur Sanders' name be called? It will be fascinating to see. At this point, though, I won't be shocked if his wait extends through another round -- and a couple more quarterbacks.

Pick
33
Ohio State · RB

I know quarterback will be on everyone's minds -- and we'll get there in a bit, Browns fans. In the meantime, Cleveland could use a Nick Chubb replacement who can handle three-down duty.

Pick
34
(via NYG)
Arizona · OL

I think the Texans traded out of the No. 25 spot in Round 1 after Donovan Jackson came off the board at 24. Here, they get another tackle/guard prospect of similar caliber.

The Titans landed their new quarterback with the first pick of the draft. Now, they can help out Cam Ward with a perfect slot threat who can play a Deebo Samuel-type role.

Pick
36
LSU · TE

This would be a classic analytics-based pick with big upside. Taylor is a good receiving threat with strong bloodlines (SEE: Hall of Fame father Jason Taylor and Hall of Fame uncle Zach Thomas), and he hasn't yet turned 21 years old.

Pick
37
Michigan · CB

Johnson, who had a top-30 visit with the Raiders, remains available here because of health and speed concerns. Pete Carroll loves long corners, and Tom Brady loves Michigan men.

Pick
38
Texas A&M · Edge

After the first-round selection of OT Will Campbell, the trench building continues in New England, where Mike Vrabel knows he still needs defensive help. Scourton could flourish among all of the Pats' DL additions from free agency.

Pick
39
(via CAR)
Ohio State · Edge

New Bears DC Dennis Allen likes his edge rushers a little bigger, and the hard-working JTT is a forceful player to help Chicago up front.

Pick
40
Alabama · QB

New Saints coach Kellen Moore helped bring the best out of Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts -- and Milroe has slivers of each. Also, the explosive Alabama product could take Taysom Hill's role as the offense's joker while he develops as a passer.

Johnson's vision and big frame would be a good fit in Ben Johnson's backfield.

Pick
42
Marshall · Edge

Character questions were part of the Marshall product's pre-draft process, possibly pushing him out of the first round, but the reigning FBS leader in sacks has elite rush capabilities.

Pick
43
Mississippi · CB

Rumored to be a possible late first-rounder, Amos instead lands in a great spot in San Fran and could compete for a starting job immediately.

Pick
44
Ohio State · RB

Judkins could win the starting job right away, even with veteran backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders on the roster. He's a tone setter as a runner.

Pick
45
South Carolina · S

Indianapolis pounced on tight end Tyler Warren in the first round. And if it works out this way, these might be Chris Ballard's easiest first two picks ever. The hyper-athletic Emmanwori can be an enforcer.

Pick
46

Schwesinger has a great GPS for the ball, and he should be well shielded behind a fantastic defensive line. Not to mention, the SoCal native and UCLA product gets to stay in Los Angeles.

Pick
47
Iowa State · WR

The Cardinals could stand to add more speed at receiver. Noel provides it, having blazed a 4.39 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Pick
48
California · CB

Miami is going to look different at corner, and Williams is a long cover man with a track record of taking the ball away (FBS-high seven picks in 2024).

Pick
49
Notre Dame · S

Offensive guard remains a need in Cincinnati, but new DC Al Golden gets his former Notre Dame free safety to bolster the Bengals' secondary.

Pick
50
Washington State · WR

Williams is a downfield threat who would complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp well, giving Seattle big-play potential.

Pick
51
Miami · TE

Sean Payton said he wanted chess pieces on offense, and Arroyo -- if he can stay healthy -- is a big-framed, big-play receiver who could be Payton's next Jimmy Graham.

Pick
52
Louisville · QB

The Seahawks brought Shough in for a top-30 visit and could have him develop while Sam Darnold starts.

Pick
53
Boston College · Edge

The slide is over for Ezeiruaku, who finished second in the FBS with 16.5 sacks this past season. He could be a great fit on Tampa's front.

Pick
54
Florida State · CB

The Packers need help at corner, and Thomas fits their CB mold with size and athleticism.

The Chargers still need some muscle inside, and the mature Alexander would fit well with their aggressive style of defense.

Pick
56
(via MIN through HOU)
Arkansas · Edge

He's a leggy, high-energy rusher who could take A.J. Epenesa's place in time.

Pick
57
Oregon · Edge

Burch, who had a pre-draft visit with the Panthers, would help Carolina up front, even if he's not an elite pass rusher. 

Pick
58
Mississippi · WR

The Texans could double up on OL picks in Round 2, but they can't forget about receiver. Harris is a solid player who upgrades that room.

Pick
59
Minnesota · OT

A Ravens-y tackle prospect with great size. Baltimore needs to think short and long term about the O-line, and Ersery could be tried at guard early.

Pick
60
Purdue · OL

Finding Mbow's best spot will be key, but after Kevin Zeitler's departure in free agency, the rookie could compete for the vacant OG spot. 

Pick
61
Ohio State · Edge

Dan Quinn would love having the hard-charging, team-first Sawyer on his defensive line.

Pick
62
Iowa State · WR

He's a height/weight/speed prospect who can provide more playmaking for Josh Allen.

Pick
63
Texas A&M · DT

The Chiefs know they have to keep adding pieces up front on defense.

If there's a team that can -- and would -- take a risk on a top-50 talent with injury questions such as Morrison, it's the Eagles.
