Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft brought unexpected surprises, notably the unexpected slide of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who fell behind three others in the QB rankings. His tumble prompted questions about his potential progression in the league, especially as teams look to bolster their rosters. The New Orleans Saints struck gold with Tyler Shough, a QB whose past injuries raised eyebrows, but now looks to seize a starting role amidst Derek Carr's uncertain health. The Chicago Bears also made headlines by addressing needs with selections like tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III, showcasing their commitment to supporting quarterback Caleb Williams.

Other notable selections included Drake Maye for the Patriots, where the addition of running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kyle Williams aims to energize their offense. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are reshaping their receiving core with Iowa State products Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel to assist C.J. Stroud. Jerry Jones, under scrutiny for earlier draft choices, redeemed himself by acquiring edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku and cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. Some teams, like the Cleveland Browns, faced criticism for questionable picks, but the draft's overall excitement continues to make waves in fantasy football discussions.
