Texans Trade Up For Woody Marks
The Houston Texans have selected USC running back Woody Marks with the 116th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Houston traded a future third-round pick for the right to select Marks in the fourth round. Marks is an advanced runner with good vision and decision-making at the line of scrimmage. He can contribute in all facets of the offense with his blocking skills in protection, his ability to create missed tackles in the rushing attack, and his reliable hands in the passing game. He showcased this multi-threat ability at USC with 1,133 rushing yards, 321 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns as a senior. Joe Mixon is still the No. 1 running back in Houston, but Marks has a strong chance to usurp Dameon Pierce as Mixon's backup.

Jets Select Arian Smith In Fourth Round
The New York Jets have selected Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith with the 110th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He caught 48 passes for 817 yards and four touchdowns during his senior campaign with the Bulldogs. Smith's speed is undeniable, but there are legitimate concerns about his hands and his ability to come down with contested catches. He should be viewed as a developmental piece for the Jets, as it appears unlikely that he would start over Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, or Josh Reynolds.

Panthers Select Trevor Etienne 114th Overall
The Carolina Panthers have selected Georgia running back Trevor Etienne with the 114th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is the brother of current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. The younger Etienne is known for his ability to make good cuts at the line of scrimmage, identify gaps, and avoid tacklers. He doesn't have great burst and isn't going to break a lot of tackles, but he still runs well and makes up for any deficiencies with his vision and football IQ. During his senior campaign at Georgia, Etienne totaled 609 rushing yards, 194 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns. He is capable of being a dual-threat running back but might not earn snaps right away in a backfield that features Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. Don't forget that the organization also has young running back Jonathan Brooks (knee) recovering from a season-ending ACL tear.

Giants Take CFP Darling Cam Skattebo
Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo is headed to the New York Giants with pick No. 105 in the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Sun Devil starred in his team's surprise run to the College Football Playoff, compiling an effective 1,711 yards and a whopping 21 touchdowns on the year. Skattebo projects as a power back with tackle-breaking potential, a solid fit for a Giants team that saw an encouraging rookie season from fellow running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. last season. New York has totally revamped its offense during the past 12 months, drafting wide receiver Malik Nabers, moving on from quarterback Daniel Jones, signing Russell Wilson, drafting Jaxson Dart, and now selecting a second high-profile back who will be on a rookie contract.

Jags Bolster Backfield With Bhayshul Tuten
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 104 of the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Hokie surpassed 1,100 yards rushing last season, had the fastest running back time at the NFL Combine, and worked his way into serious Day 2 consideration before ultimately being one of the first picks of Day 3. The Jags, who paid the price to move up and select Colorado's Travis Hunter in the first round, continued to add to their offense with yet another running back. Tuten will join a backfield that already includes Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne, the latter of whom is currently scheduled to be a free agent in 2026.

Titans Selected Chimere Dike At No. 103
Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike is off the board to the Tennessee Titans at No. 103 in the 2025 NFL Draft, the first pick of the fourth round. The Wisconsin transfer had a so-so final college season, pulling in 42 passes for 783 yards and two touchdowns. At a flat 6-foot and 195, Dike doesn't have great size, but he ran a 4.34 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine that helped his pro prospects. With Tennessee already having selected quarterback Cameron Ward at No. 1 overall, the franchise went in search of a weapon with some speed. He'll join a receiver room with Calvin Ridley and the recently signed Tyler Lockett.

Vikings Select Tai Felton To Finish Day 2
The Minnesota Vikings have selected Maryland wide receiver Tai Felton with the 102nd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This selection represented the final pick of the third round and officially marked the end of Day 2. Felton developed into a talented draft prospect over four seasons at Maryland, culminating with a senior campaign in which he caught 96 passes for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns. Minnesota already has Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison leading its wide receiver room, so Felton will merely offer valuable depth. He's a solid developmental piece who could ultimately compete with Jalen Nailor and Rondale Moore for the No. 3 receiver role.

Seahawks Select Quarterback Jalen Milroe With The 92nd Pick Overall
The Seattle Seahawks have selected Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe with the 92nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He becomes the fourth quarterback selected in this draft. Milroe is the only FBS player with 30-plus passing touchdowns and 30-plus rushing touchdowns from 2023-2024. He threw for 5,678 yards, 39 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions while rushing for 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns over the last two seasons. The 22-year-old has a cannon for an arm and is an exceptional athlete, but he needs to improve his accuracy as a passer. He will start off the 2025 season as the third-string quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Milroe is ranked 38th overall as a rookie but is more of a dynasty stash for now as a backup for Seattle.

Browns Select Dillon Gabriel 94th Overall
The Cleveland Browns have selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel with the 94th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Browns have been linked to various members of the quarterback class for quite a while, and now, they finally pull the trigger in the back half of the third round. Gabriel is the fifth signal-caller off the board, joining Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, and Jalen Milroe. Interestingly, Shedeur Sanders, who was once mentioned as a candidate for Cleveland at No. 2 overall, remains available as many quarterback-needy teams opt for different players. Gabriel played six seasons of college football, with stops at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon. Replacing Bo Nix with the Ducks in 2024, Gabriel completed 326 of his 447 pass attempts for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He also showcased his mobility with 149 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. Gabriel will likely compete with Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco while the Browns wait for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) to get healthy.

Packers Pick Savion Williams At No. 87 overall
The Packers added another top receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Savion Williams in the third round with the 87th overall pick after taking Matthew Golden in Round 1. Williams is a versatile playmaker who had a receiving, rushing, and passing touchdown last year with TCU. He is a solid receiver but also starred as the team's wildcat quarterback at times last year. He ran for six touchdowns and caught six more scores. He lined up in the backfield, out wide, and in the slot. The Packers could utilize him all over the formation in a role similar to Deebo Samuel Sr. or Cordarrelle Patterson. He'll be an interesting name to track in camp and preseason to see how the Packers incorporate his skill set into their growing offense.

Steelers Snag Kaleb Johnson In Round 3
The Steelers used the 83rd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to add Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson in the third round. He had a solid year with the Hawkeyes despite their struggles on offense, totaling 1,537 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns on 240 attempts and adding 188 more yards and two touchdowns on 22 receptions out of the backfield. Johnson was a consensus All-American and a finalist for the Doak Walker Award as the top running back in the nation. This year, he'll team up with Jaylen Warren, who signed his restricted free agent tender, and Kenneth Gainwell to make up the primary options in the Steelers' backfield after the departure of Najee Harris to the Chargers. Johnson could replace Harris as the team's short-yardage, bigger back in the rotation.

Broncos Select Wide Receiver Pat Bryant With The 74th Overall Pick
The Denver Broncos have selected Illinois wide receiver Pat Bryant with the 74th overall pick in the NFL Draft. He was projected to go on Day 3 but was taken by Denver in Round 3 on Friday. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver has strong hands and is a big, possessive wideout who is a reliable blocker. Bryant tied for the Big Ten lead with 10 receiving touchdowns and racked up 54 catches for 984 receiving yards for Illinois last season. He will compete with Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele, and Troy Franklin to start opposite Denver's No.1 wideout, Courtland Sutton. Bryant is ranked as RotoBaller's 67th overall rookie. He could provide some fantasy value as a late-round flyer in redraft leagues in 2025 if he can secure the Broncos' No. 2 wide receiver role.

Texans Select Jaylin Noel With 79th Pick
The Houston Texans have selected Iowa State wide receiver Jaylin Noel with the 79th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texans ultimately decided to double up on Cyclone wide receivers after taking Noel's teammate, Jayden Higgins, in the second round. Although most people did not expect the Texans to draft two wide receivers on Day 2, the decision makes sense. Houston lost Stefon Diggs during free agency, and Tank Dell (knee) likely won't be ready for Week 1 as he recovers from a brutal ACL tear. Noel and Higgins will team up alongside Nico Collins and offseason addition Christian Kirk, providing major reinforcements to support C.J. Stroud in the passing game.

Lions Select Wide Receiver Isaac TeSlaa With The 70th Overall Pick
The Detroit Lions moved around on the draft board on Friday in Round 2 and Round 3, ultimately trading back up to take wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa out of Arkansas at No. 70 overall. The Michigan native profiles as a big slot option and has the size, ball skills, and physicality to be a potential mismatch in the Lions' creative scheme. He could have a hard time making an immediate fantasy impact as a rookie since the Lions have so many playmakers already on offense. He only had 28 catches for 546 yards and three touchdowns last season, but he has the raw elements to be a productive option in the Lions' passing game if the workload is available. This landing spot in Detroit makes him more of a sleeper to watch than someone to target as a rookie.

Patriots Add Wide Receiver Kyle Williams In Round 3
The Patriots added a receiver early in the third round by selecting Kyle Williams from Washington State with the No. 69 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. After addressing other needs in the first two rounds, the Pats snagged Williams, who has many advanced analytics that are as strong as the other receivers at the top of the class. He has great ability after the catch and broke out as a fifth-year senior last year with 70 catches for 1,196 yards and 14 touchdowns in the Cougars pass-heavy offense. He's 5'11" but has true 4.4 speed. His big-play ability should immediately make him one of Drake Maye's most explosive options in the offense, and he could develop into the team's WR2 behind Stefon Diggs as early as this season.

Browns Draft Harold Fannin Jr. With 67th Pick
The Cleveland Browns have selected Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr. with the 67th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fannin was born and raised in Canton, Ohio, a fitting home for the Browns' latest addition. He was phenomenal in his senior season at Bowling Green, catching 117 passes for 1,555 yards. Not only did these numbers place him atop the MAC, but they led all of FBS, too. He added 10 touchdowns along the way. Cleveland has David Njoku at tight end, but they're in need of major offensive reinforcements and will still benefit from adding a dominant pass-catcher like Fannin.

Broncos Add RJ Harvey To Backfield With 60th Pick
The Denver Broncos have selected UCF running back RJ Harvey with the 60th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite moving back twice in the second round (via trades with the Panthers and Lions), Denver is still able to address a major position of need. In fact, the team previously made it known that they would select a running back at some point in the draft. Harvey was not viewed as a consensus Day 2 pick, but his upside is evident after he led the Big 12 with 6.8 yards per carry and 22 rushing touchdowns as a senior last year. He also tallied 1,577 rushing yards, 267 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns. The Broncos let Javonte Williams walk during free agency and will presumably give Harvey an opportunity to compete for the starting running back job over Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime.

Raiders Select Jack Bech With 58th Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders have selected TCU wide receiver Jack Bech with the 58th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Bech spent his first two collegiate seasons at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two years of eligibility. As a senior, he caught 62 passes for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. The Louisiana native does not possess game-changing speed, explosiveness, or separation skills, but he makes up for it with his physicality and hands. His ball skills and gritty style of play can make him an effective pass-catcher or blocker, which should allow him to compete for snaps right away. In Las Vegas, he'll presumably vie for the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker.

Chargers Add Wide Receiver Tre Harris In Round 2
The Los Angeles Chargers snagged wide receiver Tre Harris out of Ole Miss with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Harris worked well with new Giants QB Jaxson Dart in 2024, hauling in 60 catches for 1,030 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He missed five games with a lower-body injury. While he doesn't have the explosive speed or separation skills to be a true No. 1 WR, he has great strength and ball skills to be a reliable possession target. This is the second straight season the Bolts have added a wide receiver in Round 2, and now they'll look to pair Harris with last year's second-round pick, Ladd McConkey, to build a strong young receiving corps to work with Justin Herbert.

Seahawks Draft Elijah Arroyo 50th Overall
The Seattle Seahawks have selected Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo with the 50th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Hurricanes but didn't register more than five catches until his senior year. As a senior, he broke out with 35 catches, 590 yards, and seven touchdowns. He has demonstrated a promising blend of speed, athleticism, and recognition when running his routes, and he has reliable hands when the quarterback throws a ball on the mark. He'll now be tasked with taking on a substantial role in the Seahawks' offense, which replaced Geno Smith with Sam Darnold during the offseason.
