Which NFL teams fared well in the second and third rounds of the draft, and which reached for picks? Mel Kiper Jr. makes sense of Day 2.
Mel Kiper has served as an NFL draft analyst for ESPN since 1984. He is a regular contributor on"SportsCenter," ESPN studio shows and ESPN Radio. He is the co-host of the.
