With the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft now over, let's get into a mock draft for the second round, which kicks off day two. And unsurprisingly, the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was filled with some fireworks, but at the same time, much of what we saw was still a surprise, if that makes any sense.

A few players went higher than expected, and some went lower than expected. Teams made picks that we did not see coming, while others made picks that we could see from a mile away. With a ton of picks - over 200 still left to go in the 2025 NFL Draft, let's create a Round 2 mock draft with the remaining prospects.
