What time is the NFL Draft: When does Round 2 start?

Quarterbacks were selected with each of the first three picks led by Caleb Williams, who was selected by the Chicago Bears with the first overall pick. Jayden Daniels went second to the Washington Commanders, and the New England Patriots snagged Drake Maye with the third pick.

The Arizona Cardinals broke the QB-selecting streak by selecting wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall. Clearly an early emphasis was placed on offense, as the first defensive player didn't come off the board until the Indianapolis Colts selected edge rusher Laiatu Latu with the 15th pick.
