The 2023 NFL Draft continues Friday with Rounds 2 and 3.
Here are the results from Night 2 of the draft, complete with analysis from FOX Sports draft expert Rob Rang‘s Top 100 rankings.
Round 2
32) Pittsburgh Steelers: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Rang: NFL scouts love athletic bloodlines almost as much as they love the length, physicality and tenacity Porter provided the Nittany Lions over his career, including the zero touchdowns allowed in 2022.
33) Tennessee Titans (trade from Arizona): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
Rang: The traits are undeniable and so, too, is his experience in pro-style offenses at Kentucky. But necessary improvements in Levis’ decision-making keep him outside the tier of elite prospects on my board.
34) Detroit Lions: Sam Laporta, TE, Iowa
Rang: Iowa struggled throwing the football in 2022. Don’t blame that on LaPorta, whose combination of soft hands, agility and toughness make him arguably the best of this year’s tight ends after the catch.
35) Las Vegas Raiders (trade from Indianapolis): Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
Rang: Mayer wasn’t likely to be selected in the top 10, but when we look back on this draft years from now, he’s expected to be a standout starter, with his true dual-threat abilities as a pass-catcher and blocker unique even in this relatively strong tight end class.
36) Los Angeles Rams: Steve Avila, OL, TCU
Rang: Among the most pro-ready interior offensive linemen in this class, Avila has extensive starting experience at both guard and center, frustrating opponents with his balance, power and tenacity.
37): Seattle Seahawks: Derick Hall, OLB, Auburn
Rang: Similarly built and gifted as former Auburn standout Carl Lawson, Hall is a compactly built rusher with a speed/power combination that will challenge NFL blockers.
38) Atlanta Falcons (trade from Indianapolis): Matthew Bergeron, OL, Syracuse
Rang: Quick and smooth out of his stance in pass protection, Bergeron starred at left tackle for the Orangemen, but his average arm length (33 5/8″) might push him inside to guard in the NFL.
39) Carolina Panthers: Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
Rang: One of the biggest risers since the end of the season, Mingo boasts an exceptional size/speed combination that has some teams wondering if he won’t continue the recent Ole Miss tradition of big receivers — like DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown — exploding in the NFL.
40) New Orelans Saints: Isaiah Foskey, Edge Rusher, Notre Dame
Rang: Foskey comes with a bit of “buyer beware,” as well as he currently lacks the power and nastiness preferred against the run, but his 20.5 sacks over the past two seasons and projectable traits could push him into the first round.
