The NFL draft crossed the 100-pick threshold on Day 2, and Mel Kiper Jr. has already identified several teams that made savvy moves — and others that reached too far.
Kiper's analysis zeroes in on value selections in the second and third rounds, highlighting which franchises managed to land first-round talent later than expected. The evaluation covers steals that could reshape rosters and reaches that left analysts scratching their heads.
With 100 picks now in the books, Day 2 produced a flurry of trades and surprise picks. Some squads capitalized on sliding prospects, while others rolled the dice on raw upside or positional need over board value.

Kiper also noted which teams might have set themselves up for long-term success versus those still searching for answers on Day 3.
