Ten offensive linemen were taken off the board in Round 3, and five more wide receivers were scooped up to close out Day Two. The first two FCS players off the board were Kiran Amegadjie (Yale) and Jalyx Hunt (Houston Christian) picked by the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles respectively.
Washington and Michigan, the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship contenders, are facing off — this time fighting for the most draft picks. Michigan and Washington are tied at seven, with the Wolverines storming back — tallying four picks in the third round. This comeback was fueled by an incredible three-pick streak between picks 83-85 for Jim Harbaugh’s former squad. On the other side, the Huskies now have all three of their starting wide receivers from 2024 off the board through three.
Offensive tackle remains the most popular pick (17), with wide receivers finishing right behind after three rounds at 16. Teams are fatigued from quarterbacks after taking a record-setting six on Day One after no quarterbacks were selected on Day Two.
Here is the full list of round three:

Twenty defensive players were taken off the board in round two, 12 more than in the first. Seven defensive tackles and corner backs were selected after just four combined were taken in the first round.
Offensive tackle and wide receiver are the popular picks, with 11 taken through two. Cornerbacks sit right behind with 10.
Round two ended in a four-way tie for most picks by school, with Texas, Washington, Alabama and Georgia having five selections through the first 64 picks.
Here is the full list of round two:
The Green Bay Packers ended the linebacker drought, selecting Edgerrin Cooper out of Texas A&M with pick No. 45.
With the very next pick, the Carolina Panthers took the first running back off the board, Jonathon Brooks out of Texas. This selection marked the end of the second-longest running back drought in NFL draft history. The record dates back to 2014 when Bishop Sankey was taken with pick No. 54.
Carolina trades up to select Texas RB Jonathon Brooks with the No. 46 pick, per @albertbreer

The wide receiver train keeps rolling, and seven defensive prospects were taken with the first 10 picks of round two — only one less than the entire first round.
There are still no running backs off the board through 42 selections, the second-longest drought in NFL history.

Last night, two Heisman winners, seven wide receivers and eight defensive prospects were selected. The seven receivers taken tied a record for most drafted in the first round since 2004.
