NFL Draft 2025 Big Board of Best Remaining Players After Day 2

Kristopher KnoxApr 25, 2025

The 2025 NFL draft continued on Friday night, and while the players selected on Day 2 will never carry the "former first-round pick" label, several of them will inevitably become stars.

Notable players selected in the second and third rounds include Michigan cornerback Will Johnson, Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins and Mississippi wide receiver Tre Harris. However, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was not among Friday's selections.

While it may feel like the draft is almost over, it isn't. Only 102 of 257 selections have been made, and there's plenty of value to be found on Day 3.

Here's a look at the best players remaining, overall and at each position, after Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft.

All rankings were compiled by the Bleacher Report Scouting Department, which has been evaluating prospects since the start of the 2024-25 college football season in preparation for the 2025 NFL draft.

Brandon Thorn: Brandon is the author of the Trench Warfare newsletter, which focuses exclusively on offensive and defensive line evaluation. He also contributes as an analyst to Establish the Run and serves as the scouting coordinator for OL Masterminds

Dame Parson: Dame is the lead host of the Locked On NFL Draft podcast. He also spent three years as a senior draft analyst for The Draft Network while evaluating draft prospects as the founder of The Scouting Room.

Cory Giddings: Cory currently serves as the assistant director of player personnel for the North Carolina Tar Heels. In recent years, he contributed as part of the B/R Scouting Department, with a concentration on the secondary.

Matt Holder: Matt played college football, worked in college recruiting and is a Scouting Academy graduate. He has covered the NFL draft since 2019 and writes about the Las Vegas Raiders for SB Nation's Silver and Black Pride.

Brent Sobleski: Brent serves as an NFL analyst for Bleacher Report. He's covered the draft for multiple outlets since the 2004 class, including 11 seasons with B/R.
