The NFL Draft Rounds 2 and 3 Recap: Defensive Players Shine, Quarterbacks Disappoint
In the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft, defensive players took center stage, with a total of 20 coming off the board in the second round alone. This trend continued with a total of 25 offensive linemen being selected through three rounds.
The Washington Commanders had a successful draft day, selecting Michigan nickelback Mike Sainristil and Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott as franchise cornerstones. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills addressed their needs at wide receiver and safety with the selections of Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop.
The Arizona Cardinals made five more selections, addressing roster holes and adding promising players to their lineup.
The Michigan Wolverines also had a successful draft, with six teammates joining the NFL ranks. However, quarterbacks were the losers of the night, as not a single one was selected on Friday.
In a surprising move, Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins may have become more expendable with the selection of Jermaine Burton.
The Las Vegas Raiders made a questionable pick with Maryland guard/tackle Delmar Glaze, raising questions about their strategy for addressing defensive needs.
