Former Alabama players sat through Friday’s second day of selections waiting for a phone call that finally came late in the third round when safety Ronnie Harrison was taken with the 93rd overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He is the highest Hurricanes defensive lineman taken in the National Football League draft since 2008 when Calais Campbell was drafted in the second round by Arizona. Who are the winners and losers of Day 2?
Watch every draft pick now.
Holy Hog Molly, Gettle Man! The Packers have the first pick of the fourth round and could use help along the offensive line. Consider Barkley a heavy offensive rookie of the year favorite.
The Redskins have taken a running back in eight consecutive drafts. It was hard for the Broncos to both rebuild and reload in the same draft, but this one’s for John. What he does give up in size he makes up for with his athleticism. Rudolph couldn’t have asked for a better result. other than going to the same team in Round 1.
Incredibly, they didn’t even get one of them, let alone the two that were within reach.
Enter Denzel Ward. The Macedonia, OH native will look to stabilize the outside of the Cleveland defense for years to come.
It was surprisingly effusive praise of a player during a lead-up to the draft that had been especially shrouded in mystery this year.
– The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded malcontent wide receiver Martavis Bryant to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a third-round pick. At the same time, I’ve got to take responsibility for what happened. Perhaps later, he can usurp Ogbah for that second defensive end spot across from Myles Garrett. Corbett could be the long-term replacement at left tackle, filling the void left by Joe Thomas, who retired after 10 season this offseason.
“I know exactly what they said, and exactly why they said that”, Mayfield said, via quotes distributed by the team. Leaving a player like Bradley Chubb on the board was a bold move but does make sense. They won’t add Georgia’s Sony Michel or San Diego State’s Rashaad Penny, either. Between Hyde and Chubb the Browns running game will be a force to be reckon with.
For the 2018 class, I have taken the current players and used their college data to project forward.
Not surprisingly in the Cowboys’ home, the pick generally was booed. They could have taken Derwin James, who dropped all the way to the Los Angeles Chargers at 17. It was a 180 from the coup of Leighton Vander Esch in Round 1. Philip Rivers, 2. Carson Palmer, 3. Then there was the big character dice roll on LSU edge rusher Arden Key. Mike White from Western Kentucky and Luke Falk from Washington State are the other quarterbacks most likely to be drafted Saturday.
Most prognosticators pegged another quarterback, perhaps Josh Allen, Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen, for the Browns. Not yet, at least. Green was the team’s sack leader the past two seasons and now heads to Seattle to play for former USC head coach Pete Carroll. There’s also the fact that he keeps a list of media members who have crossed the line-which will no doubt include multiple local Cleveland reporters who have invoked the Manziel comparisons and whom he’ll now see daily.

“That’s going to be down the road, but with the team that’s there in place, they’ve got some really good guys, some really good talent and I’m excited to step in and start meeting these guys”.
