Yahoo Sports’ NFL Draft Expert Eric Edholm on who believes made the best and worst moves to help their team in rounds 2 and 3.

New Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. sat down to talk with Pac-12 Networks’ Yogi Roth after being drafted in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Pittman told Roth about his workout plans on the night of the draft, proving that he’s still willing to put in the work on such a special occasion for him and his family. Watch more from the former USC star during “Pac-12 Playlist: NFL Draft Report” airing Monday, April 27 at 7 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network.

Coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock set out this offseason to make the Las Vegas Raiders offense more dynamic. After drafting the fastest player available in the first round with receiver Henry Ruggs, the Raiders spent their first two picks on day two of the NFL draft Friday night on playmakers Lynn Bowden Jr. and Bryan Edwards. The Raiders took former Kentucky slot receiver and quarterback Bowden 80th overall with their own pick and plan to make him a running back.

The Tennessee Titans used two of their first three selections in the NFL draft to help bolster one of the NFL’s most productive offenses with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback. General manager Jon Robinson said the Titans were tempted to trade up Friday night but wound up with players they liked in positions they wanted.

The Kansas City Chiefs spent the past few weeks conducting plenty of virtual chats with Willie Gay Jr. and those around him, drilling into a series of incidents that caused the Mississippi State linebacker to play just five games last season and enter the NFL draft with several red flags. General manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid logged off those chats comfortable with what they heard.

While only one quarterback, Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts, was taken on the second day of the NFL draft Friday, the guys who haul in passes were everywhere. Starting with the top two selections on Day 2 – Clemson’s Tee Higgins to Cincinnati and Southern California’s Michael Pittman to Indianapolis – seven wideouts were drafted in the second round. Add that to the six who went in the opening session, and it set an NFL record through two rounds.

Drafting Jordan Love in the first round was one thing, but Green Bay didn’t make any significant moves on Day 2 to help aggravated Aaron Rodgers.
