NFL Draft 2025: Teams Build Their Futures in Rounds Two and Three

GREEN BAY, Wisconsin — The 2025 NFL Draft moved into its second and third rounds Friday night, as teams made bold selections hoping to strengthen their rosters. Among the notable storylines, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders went undrafted, raising questions about his prospects.

The second round opened with the Browns selecting UCLA linebacker Jackson Schwesinger to enhance their defensive lineup. Known for his physical play, Schwesinger adds to a promising group alongside Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

In a trade, the Texans picked Iowa State receiver Xavier Hutchinson, seeking to bolster their pass-catching unit. Hutchinson joins Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, offering young quarterback C.J. Stroud more weapons for the 2025 season.

The Seattle Seahawks picked safety Tarian Emmanwori, who impressed with his speed and tackling ability at the combine. Emmanwori is seen as a potential successor to the storied “Legion of Boom,” capable of making significant contributions to the defense.

Also on the defensive side, the Miami Dolphins selected Texas defensive tackle Byron Savaiinaea to reinforce their front line. Savaiinaea’s size and quickness will greatly enhance their ability to protect quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The Patriots added depth to their backfield by selecting Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson in the third round. Henderson, known for his catching ability and speed, is expected to complement Rhamondre Stevenson in the running game.

Chicago picked receiver Luther Burden as a playmaker for their revamped offense, hoping his ability to stretch the field contributes to better overall production in 2025.

The draft continues to unfold, revealing teams’ strategic directions and the potential for exciting new talent. With names still on the board, anticipation builds for the conclusion of the event.
