There are plenty of talented names on the NFL draft’s big board. Here are the best available players for the second round on Friday.

Will Levis was expected to join the other top quarterbacks as an early first-round NFL draft pick. Instead, he went unselected on Thursday.

The Houston Texans landed both their quarterback of the future at No. 2 and a premier pass rusher by moving all the way up from No. 12 to No. 3.

The Indianapolis Colts picked multitalented Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson in a bid to find some stability behind center.

Keep track of the top NFL draft talent still left on the board after every selection throughout Thursday night’s first round.

The final edition of USA TODAY Sports’ NFL mock draft features a few surprises up high, including a new name at No. 2 and some unexpected QB slides.

The NFL draft is known for surprises, but this year’s first round could create even more entropy than usual given the uncertainty on top picks.

With fewer consensus first-rounders than slots on Day 1, the NFL draft always lends itself to some surprising names being called by Roger Goodell.

With less than two weeks remaining until the start of the 2023 NFL draft, uncertainty reigns – beginning with the mystery surrounding the No. 1 pick.

Quarterbacks are sure to be the story of this year’s NFL draft, and three of them find places among the top 10 of USA TODAY Sports’ player rankings.
