The first round of the 2023 NFL draft is officially in the books, and what a wild Thursday night it was to kick off this year’s three-day event in Kansas City.

We had plenty of intrigue heading into this year’s draft, and the hype delivered with a dramatic first night, highlighted by three quarterbacks coming off the board in the top four picks, and a flurry of trades that shook up the early going for a handful of teams. As always, we had a few surprise picks and a couple of big names that lasted longer than expected.

With only 31 first-round picks this year (thanks, Dolphins), there’s even more talent still left on the board as we look ahead to Day 2.

Here’s how we restack the board heading into the second round, with plenty of big names at premium positions available:
