2025 NFL Draft Analysis: Key Winners and Losers from Day 2

An overview of the noteworthy outcomes from the second day of the 2025 NFL Draft, featuring key players and team strategies.

For the second consecutive day, the biggest story at the NFL Draft revolves around Shedeur Sanders. His exclusion from the draft continues to shock many. While it was expected that he might fall out of the first round, the fact that he went undrafted by the end of Day 2 was startling.

Winners

CJ Stroud. The Texans focused solely on making life better for Stroud. They made a remarkable comeback after restructuring their draft strategy and added two receivers, along with a new left tackle, to fortify Stroud’s game plan.

Ben Johnson. As the new coach, Johnson is laying the groundwork for an impressive offense in Chicago by securing quality players and improving the offensive line.

Losers

Shedeur Sanders. Unfortunately for Sanders, his chances have dwindled as teams overlook pertinent needs for quarterbacks.

Steelers QB room. With the 83rd pick, the Steelers opted not to recruit another quarterback, presumably banking on Aaron Rodgers to alleviate their quarterback concerns.

Browns QB room. As the Browns drafted a quarterback on Day 2, doubts about their overall QB depth remain, given the low performance expectations of the drafted player.

Through this draft, the implications for several teams remain profound as they strive for better positioning in the following season.
