You weren't expecting Quincy Wilson, Forrest Lamp and Cam Robinson to still be on the board on Day 2 of the 2017 NFL draft, were you? 

With the first round officially concluded, we move to Rounds 2 and 3, where the safeties, cornerbacks, tight ends and wide receivers are the cream of the crop, but we expect to hear names from almost every position group on this big board called Friday night. 

The fun, and importance, is just getting started in Philadelphia at the draft. While Day 1 gets all the hype, it's Day 2 that can turn the tide for NFL teams on the brink of the postseason or possibly even making Super Bowl pushes. 

So let's get ready for another night of excitement by taking a look at the best remaining players after Round 1.

We saw three signal-callers come off the board in Round 1, but Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer wasn't one of them. He tops the quarterback big board entering Day 2, yet he's not the only one with heavy interest. 

Davis Webb's big arm is quite intriguing, Nathan Peterman possesses potential starter talent, and the likes of Brad Kaaya and Joshua Dobbs could be the top sleepers at the position. 

With many teams still in need of QB help, we can expect to hear several names off the board in Rounds 2 and 3.

Two top-10 picks at running back isn't a common feat in today's NFL, but the 2017 class pulled it off. However, those were the only two off the board, and now Friday's second and third rounds have the potential for big-time backs to get selected.

Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara are household names at this point, and D'Onta Foreman, Samaje Perine and James Conner aren't far behind. 

There are a lot of good players available on Day 2, but this group could see the largest swath of talent come off the board.

Not bereft of talent, but it's unlikely a player out of the fullback class will hear his name called on Day 2.

Not one, not two, but three wide receivers came off the board in the top 10 on Day 1, and then all was silent. The rest of the wide receiver class is flush with talent and could easily push the running backs Friday night. 

Small-school prospects Zay Jones and Cooper Kupp headline the remaining class, but super-athletes Curtis Samuel and ArDarius Stewart aren't far behind. 

Expect to hear pass-catchers' names early and often on Day 2.

Thursday was a big day for a loaded tight end class, but Friday has the potential to create some news too. Big-school products like Bucky Hodges and Jake Butt highlight the remaining class, but there are also some small-school stars with big aspirations. 

Adam Shaheen and Gerald Everett are names to keep an eye on.

Cam RobinsonAssociated Press

A previously projected first-round pick, Cam Robinson will be a heavily sought-after prospect on Day 2. He leads an offensive tackle class that doesn't inspire a ton of enthusiasm, though. 

There is raw potential here, and a lot of teams are in need at the position, so don't surprised if more tackles come off the board than expected.

Forrest Lamp is the clear leader of this position group. The Western Kentucky product was hoping to hear his name on Day 1, but the lack of interest in offensive linemen in general dropped him to Friday. Someone could find a steal here. 

There are also a few other potential starters, but this group lacks star power in 2017.

Big-school products dominate the center rankings in the 2017 class. There is a slight discrepancy in the top-end talents, but centers, like all offensive linemen in this class, lack depth. 

Still, Day 2 should see a couple of prospects come off the board.

The defensive line class has some work to do on Day 2 after only Jonathan Allen came off the board Thursday night. Several potential first-round prospects are still available, and it won't take long for them to hear their names called. 

Expect the D-linemen to make their presence felt Friday night. 

Jordan WillisAssociated Press

Like the D-linemen, the edge-rushers should be a busy group in Rounds 2 and 3.

Jordan Willis is a great athlete, while the likes of Carl Lawson and Tim Williams carry pedigree and big-school experience. It shouldn't take long for some of this group to hear their names called. 

Zach CunninghamAssociated Press

Zach Cunningham was a widely mocked first-round prospect, but he finds himself heading to Day 2 along with several other talents. Tyus Bowser and Raekwon McMillan, specifically, are all battling to be the first off the board Friday. 

This position group has some depth and could see 10 players or more selected in Rounds 2 and 3. 

Quincy WilsonAssociated Press

A previously ranked top-10 prospect, Quincy Wilson is the best player remaining on the board. He isn't alone, though, as the cornerback position is among the strongest groups of players remaining on Day 2. 

Chidobe Awuzie, Sidney Jones and Kevin King all possess first-round talent. In a pass-happy NFL, we can expect to hear a number of corners called Friday night. 

Budda BakerAssociated Press

We didn't mean to save the best for last, but the safeties projected to be drafted on Day 2 pack a stronger punch than any other group in the 2017 class. 

Expect the likes of Budda Baker, Marcus Maye, Josh Jones, Marcus Williams, Justin Evans, Desmond King, Obi Melifonwu, Tedric Thompson and John Johnson to be picked in Rounds 2 and 3. 

There's legit star potential in this group, and it wouldn't surprise us at all to see teams be aggressive in moving up the board for players in the remaining safety class.

A year ago saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select kicker Roberto Aguayo in the second round. Back in 2012, the Jaguars took punter Bryan Anger in the third. We don't expect anything like that to happen this year. 

The players below will be waiting until Day 3 to potentially hear their names called in Philadelphia.
