Some great talent came off the board in the second and third rounds, including players like Cam Robinson, Malik McDowell, and Budda Baker.

The Carolina Panthers selected Curtis Samuel No. 40 overall, adding him alongside Christian McCaffrey, bolstering their offense. The following pick, the Vikings drafted Dalvin Cook to put in the backfield with Latavius Murray in replacement of Adrian Peterson.

The Cleveland Browns finally selected a quarterback, taking Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer, continuing what has appeared to be a successful draft for Hue Jackson’s team after taking Myles Garrett, Jabrill Peppers, and David Njoku in the first round.
