NFL Draft 2023 home runs and head-scratchers from Day 2: Will Levis lands in a comfy spot, Bears reach on 'D'

Rounds 2 and 3 have come and gone, so let's reflect on what went down

The 2023 NFL Draft didn't have as many jaw-dropping, blue-chip prospects as past drafts, but what it did boast is plenty of value in the middle for Rounds 2 through 4 or 5. Many teams made their mark in Round 2, including a couple of NFC North teams in the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. Both addressed big-time needs for their franchises through the first two days, albeit in a different order than some may have liked. More teams came away happy after the runs on tight ends, interior offensive linemen as well as pass rushers and defensive backs. 

Here are picks from Rounds 2 and 3 that shined in my eyes plus some selections that made me questions the overall direction a few clubs have in mind going forward.
