With Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft in the books, here's a look at how Rounds 2-3 could play out on Friday night. There are still plenty of talented players available.

Round 2

  School: Houston. Bowser gives the 
 [Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB) an explosive edge option. 
  School: Western Kentucky. Outstanding guard prospect is still on the board and the 
 [Seahawks](/teams/seattleseahawks/profile?team=SEA) benefit. 
  School: Alabama. Robinson would be a dream come true for a tackle-hungry team like the 
 [Jaguars](/teams/jacksonvillejaguars/profile?team=JAX). 
  School: Colorado. Physical cornerback who can compete for playing time early and help on special teams coverage. 
  School: Kansas State. Productive rusher off the edge with a plus motor. 
  School: Utah. Centerfielder with great ball production helps the 
 [Chargers](/teams/losangeleschargers/profile?team=LAC) pass defense. 
  School: Florida State. The fall ends with Cook headed to the Big Apple. 
  School: Oklahoma. Smooth, vertical threat is yet another playmaking option for the 
 [Panthers](/teams/carolinapanthers/profile?team=CAR)' offense. 
  School: Oklahoma. The 
 [Bengals](/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN) get a running back who can play all three downs, but will come with baggage. 
  School: N.C. State. Heavy hitter with outstanding physical traits continues the 
 [Saints](/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO)' defensive revamp. 
  School: Florida. 
 [Eagles](/teams/philadelphiaeagles/profile?team=PHI) need a cornerback badly and get a solid option here. 
  School: East Carolina. Jones runs good routes and has great hands. He could find early playing time. 
  School: Washington. Electric and urgent in his play, Baker can play safety or nickel cornerback. 
  School: Michigan State. McDowell has first-round talent but not first-round work ethic. Boom or bust pick here. 
  School: USC. His comparison is 
 [Anquan Boldin](/player/anquanboldin/2505587/profile), which is fitting considering the team. 
  School: Temple. Dawkins has experience at both tackle and guard. He could find early playing time here. 
  School: Tennessee. Talented running back who lacks the production totals of the top four running backs. 
  School: Connecticut. Physical freak can play safety or cornerback. Tampa adds to the defense here. 
  School: Vanderbilt. Three-down linebacker with monster production. 
  School: Washington. Long-limbed cornerback with size and ball skills. Could be a steal here. 
  School: Michigan. Wormley looks the part, but needs to crank it up on every snap. 
  School: Ohio State. He does a little of everything and adds another explosive option to the 
 [Dolphins](/teams/miamidolphins/profile?team=MIA) offense. 
  School: Troy. He's a little light and lacks long arms, but Garcia offers competition at tackle and might play guard. 
  School: South Alabama. Ultra competitive with the ball in his hands, Everett could vault the Raider offense to the next level. 
  School: Texas. The 
 [Texans](/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU) add even more juice to the RB position and look to win on the ground. 
  School: Texas A&M. Hall can be a base defensive end who rushes inside on passing downs. 
  School: Florida. Really athletic and talented three-down linebacker, but durability is a major concern. 
  School: West Virginia. Long and productive. His speed is average but he fits Rod Marinelli's defense. 
  School: Indiana. Solid guard with the ability to play inside and outside zone effectively. Solid NFL starter. 
  School: Notre Dame. Kizer comes off the board as the heir apparent for 
 [Big Ben](http://www.nfl.com/player/benroethlisberger/2506109/profile). 
  School: Florida. Rock solid safety with good instincts. Atlanta pairs Maye with his Florida teammate, 
 [Keanu Neal](/player/keanuneal/2555543/profile). 
  School: Florida. Big with powerful hands, Sharpe is better in pass protection than expected.
