The 2025 NFL Draft continued with Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday evening, and the fireworks started early. Ohio State running backs Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson were selected with two of the first six picks of the second round, 25-year-old quarterback Tyler Shough came off the board at No. 40 overall to the New Orleans Saints, and Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first 102 selections. In what is a shocking development to say the least, Sanders will now be a Day 3 pick.
The first round is the most-watched television event, but it’s in the second and third rounds where things begin to get crazy. The Houston Texans took two Iowa State receivers in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, the New England Patriots picked up two weapons and another offensive lineman for Drake Maye, and the Dallas Cowboys scored two players who were being mocked in the first round prior to Thursday!
Which picks were home runs and which were head-scratchers? Let’s take a look at three of each, along with grades and explanations from CBS Sports NFL Draft expert Chris Trapasso.
