Get insights on all 32 teams’ draft picks and trades from our NFL Nation reporters.
Day 1 and 2 of the 2023 NFL draft are behind us.
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the second round by selecting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (No. 32) almost a decade after drafting his father.
Tight ends made a big splash through the first two rounds with six total being selected, tied for most since 1974. This group includes Utah’s Dalton Kincaid (No. 25) to the Buffalo Bills and Iowa’s Sam LaPorta (No. 34) to the Detroit Lions.
The Big Ten continues to make history, having 20 players selected from the conference in the first two rounds. This is the most of any conference this draft and the most in the common draft era.
The first night was highlighted by an unprecedented run on receivers. For the first time in the common draft era, four wide receivers were picked consecutively in Round 1.
The draft concludes tomorrow with Rounds 4-7 (12 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC and the ESPN App). The Chicago Bears have the first pick in Round 4 (No.103).

Picking Dalton Kincaid will be a big contribution for quarterback Josh Allen in the middle of the field and gives Buffalo a great tight end to pair with Dawson Knox. The Bills feel Kincaid will add a dimension to their offense that they don’t have, and he is the first offensive player drafted by the Bills in the first round since Allen in 2018.

After hiring defensive coordinator Vic Fangio this offseason, the Dolphins are expecting to make zone coverage changes. Selecting cornerback Cam Smith in the second round is an interesting move after the team traded for Jalen Ramsey in March. But the organization has their eye on the future.

The Patriots landed Christian Gonzalez after trading back three spots. Cornerback was a top need for the Patriots, and Gonzalez matches that need as a 6-foot-2, 201-pound defender who will go against some tall receivers. Analysis of every Patriots pick from Mike Reiss

With the top four offensive linemen off the board, the Jets pivoted to Will McDonald IV, an undersized edge rusher who was projected as a late first- or early second-round pick. It’s a stunning pick, considering it’s an already deep position, but the Jets believe McDonald has elite traits. Analysis of every Jets pick from Rich Cimini

The addition of Zay Flowers gives Lamar Jackson his most talented wide receiver group in his six-year career. Flowers can immediately find his niche in the slot, and with Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor on one-year deals, he will figure to play an even bigger role in 2024 and beyond.

Myles Murphy could be the answer for Cincinnati, which has struggled with its pass rush. Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is going to get Murphy on the field often as a rookie. Anarumo loves positional flexibility in his defense, and Murphy can be lined up on the inside or outside of the line. Analysis of every Bengals pick from Ben Baby

The Browns continue to load up their receiver corps as they remake the offense around quarterback Deshaun Watson. Wide receiver Cedric Tillman will have a chance to factor into the rotation at outside receiver and hopefully give Watson another target in the end zone. Analysis of every Browns pick from Jake Trotter

Broderick Jones is a testament to the Steelers further investing in the foundation of their offense. The Steelers traded up to secure the offensive tackle, who has been on their radar since UGA’s 2022 pro day. He will be able to help Najee Harris and Kenny Pickett from the get-go.

C.J. Stroud brings hope to a Texans team that has struggled with quarterback woes the past two seasons. He will most likely be a starter for Houston with the other quarterbacks on the roster not seen as long-term answers. The Texans also traded up to select Will Anderson Jr., who is considered a disruptive pass-rusher. He was a two-time All-American and two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year and should be able to help a defense that was ranked in the bottom of the league in points allowed and total defense.
