– The NFL Draft has completed two days, with Saturday set to finish in Pittsburgh. Teams are hunting late-round gems as the draft wraps up.
– Day 2 produced several shocking picks that surprised many fans and mock drafts.
– Biggest surprises from Day 2:
1) Pittsburgh Steelers selected Penn State QB Drew Allar 76th overall. This was earlier than many expected, as he’s viewed as raw with mechanical flaws, though he impressed at the combine.
2) Cleveland Browns traded up to grab OT Austin Barber in the third round, a pick many analysts hadn’t anticipated for him.
3) Arizona Cardinals drafted Miami quarterback Carson Beck with the first pick of the third round, instead of pursuing a late-first-round QB option, amid health concerns about Beck’s elbow but signaling potential starter plans for 2026. 🏈️✨
