As if the NFL draft couldn’t get any bigger, Rounds 2-3 on Day 2 stirred up even more drama than Round 1.
The Tennessee Titans kicked off the draft as expected by selecting Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, the first of 32 picks on Thursday night.
But the real surprise came from someone who wasn’t drafted: Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who is still on the board as after the conclusion of Day 2.
The Detroit Lions selected Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams with the 28th overall pick, choosing a run-stuffer instead of a pass-rusher with their first-round pick.
The Lions then selected Georgia offensive guard Tate Ratledge with their second-round pick. Detroit was originally slotted at 28th overall in the second round, but made a trade with the Denver Broncos to move up to the 25th pick.

The Lions and Jaguars also swapped third-round picks, with the Lions trading up to the 70th overall pick and drafting Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa.
Originally holding a fourth-round pick, the Lions traded it to the Broncos as part of the exchange for the pick that turned into Ratledge. Detroit also got a 2025 seventh-round pick in the deal, giving them their third seventh-round pick of the draft.
