Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft saw surprising movements, particularly with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was projected to go in the first round but fell to the fourth. This unexpected slide overshadowed the overall dynamics, highlighting both winners and losers of the night.

The Cleveland Browns emerged as strong contenders by securing linebacker Carson Schwesinger and running back Quinshon Judkins with their two top picks, complemented by acquiring playmaker Harold Fannin Jr. in the third round. The New England Patriots also had a solid draft, adding TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle Williams to their roster, signaling their intent to compete in the AFC East.

Conversely, the Los Angeles Chargers faced criticism for not maximizing their first-round pick, while the Cincinnati Bengals' draft choices left much to be desired. The New York Jets surprised many with a successful draft, filling positions of need effectively. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints' selections left fans underwhelmed, sparking discussions about their strategic direction.
