Best of the rest: Top remaining prospects after Day 2 of NFL Draft
Seventy-one more players were selected in the NFL Draft on Friday. The group of prospects taken in the second and third rounds included 11 receivers and 10 cornerbacks, but just two quarterbacks.
There are plenty of prospects at each position hoping to be picked in the final four rounds on Saturday. Here's our look at some of the top players still on the board:
Quarterbacks

Potentially the first quarterback to come off the board from a non-power conference this year, Jackson is intriguing. He's 6-foot-7, 249 pounds and ran a 4.59-second 40-yard dash. However, he completed just 55.3 percent of his passes as a senior, so he's largely a developmental pick.
Ryan Finley, North Carolina State
If you want experience, the 6-foot-4 Finley might be your guy. A three-year starter for the Wolfpack after transferring from Boise State, he threw for 3,928 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior.
Jarrett Stidham, Auburn
Stidham was one of the highest-ranked quarterbacks in his recruiting class four years ago out of Stephenville, Texas. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound passer later transferred from Baylor to Auburn but never posted big numbers for the Tigers, throwing 36 touchdowns in 27 games.
Other notable quarterbacks
Brett Rypien, Boise State
Gardner Minshew, Washington State
Easton Stick, North Dakota State
Trace McSorley, Penn State
Jake Dolegala, Central Connecticut
Jordan Ta'amu, Mississippi
Jake Browning, Washington
Clayton Thorson, Northwestern
Manny Wilkins, Arizona State
Kyle Shurmur, Vanderbilt

At a school that produced Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas, Hill became the first freshman to gain 1,000 yards rushing. Despite his 198-pound frame, he led the Cowboys in carries and yards for three straight seasons. He was a workout warrior at the NFL combine - with a 4.40 time in the 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical jump - which complements the explosive plays on his tape.
Dexter Williams, Notre Dame
In his lone campaign as the starter, Williams rushed for 995 yards on 6.3 per carry over nine games after he was suspended for the first four. In three contests against ranked opponents, he did struggle (184 yards on 3.8 per rush). The 5-foot-11, 212-pound back caught 22 passes in three seasons.
Ryquell Armstead, Temple
The 5-foot-11, 220-pound back rushed for 1,098 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2018, including a 210-yard, six-touchdown explosion against Houston. Fun fact: Armstead is from Millville, N.J., hometown of Mike Trout.
Other notable running backs
Trayveon Williams, Texas A&M
Rodney Anderson, Oklahoma
Jalin Moore, Appalachian State
Bryce Love, Stanford
Myles Gaskin, Washington
Darwin Thompson, Utah State
Devine Ozigbo, Nebraska
Mike Weber, Ohio State
Karan Higdon, Michigan
Alex Barnes, Kansas State
Hakeem Butler, Iowa State
Butler was a constant mismatch for opponents in college, averaging 22 yards per catch (60 receptions for 1,318 yards) as a senior. At 6-foot-5, 227 pounds, he's a huge outside target for a quarterback. He also had a 4.48 40 time at the NFL combine. He could be an absolute steal if he reaches his potential, which, with his frame, feels something like Brandon Marshall.

Harmon's prospect profile includes size (6-foot-2, 221 pounds) and production. He went over 1,000 yards in each of his final two seasons, catching 81 passes for 1,186 yards from Ryan Finley as a junior in 2018.
Emanuel Hall, Missouri
Hall was the top target for Drew Lock, who went to the Denver Broncos in the second round. With high-end speed, he's a pure deep threat. Hall averaged 24.8 yards per catch as a junior and 22.4 as a senior.
Other notable receivers
Darius Slayton, Auburn
Riley Ridley, Georgia
Gary Jennings, West Virginia
Travis Fulgham, Old Dominion
Anthony Johnson, Buffalo
David Sills, West Virginia
Keesean Johnson, Fresno State
Dillon Mitchell, Oregon
Stanley Morgan, Nebraska
Anthony Johnson, Buffalo

The 6-foot-4, 253-pound prospect boosted his stock with a strong combine, excelling in speed and agility testing. He wasn't overly productive catching passes for the Tigers, though, with 22 receptions for 272 yards in 2018.
Kaden Smith, Stanford
Smith should become the seventh Cardinal tight end drafted since 2010, a group that includes Zach Ertz and Austin Hooper. He isn't a flashy receiver at 6-foot-5, 255 pounds, but he did haul in 47 passes in 10 games.
Alize Mack, Notre Dame
Mack was the fourth option in the Fighting Irish's passing game, catching 36 passes for 360 yards. He only exceeded 50 yards in a game twice, but the 6-foot-4 prospect could develop into a more effective option in the NFL.
Other notable tight ends
Tommy Sweeney, Boston College
Caleb Wilson, UCLA
Isaac Nauta, Georgia
Zach Gentry, Michigan
Trevon Wesco, West Virginia
Keenen Brown, Texas State
Dax Raymond, Utah State
Donald Parham, Stetson
Andrew Beck, Texas
C.J. Conrad, Kentucky
Icon Sportswire / Getty ImagesMichael Jordan, Ohio State
Jordan was an exceptional player for the Buckeyes over the last three seasons, stepping in and starting as a freshman. The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder moved over to center in 2018 but is being projected as a guard professionally.
Dru Samia, Oklahoma
It's a mild surprise to see Samia still available, if only because he comes from an Oklahoma program that churns out high-quality linemen (Cody Ford and Bobby Evans included). The 6-foot-5, 305-pound California native could be the next in the line after starting 48 games over four seasons.
Dennis Daley, South Carolina
Daley was a two-year starter at left tackle for the Gamecocks. At 6-foot-6, 305 pounds with long arms, he should fit in at tackle in the pros, too.
Other notable offensive linemen
Isaiah Prince, Ohio State
Phil Haynes, Wake Forest
Lamont Gaillard, Georgia
Beau Benzschawel, Wisconsin
Tyler Roemer, San Diego State
Ben Powers, Oklahoma
Jackson Barton, Utah
David Edwards, Wisconsin
Mitch Hyatt, Clemson
Ross Pierschbacher, Alabama

Mack is a massive tackle at 6-foot-1, 336 pounds. His career at Texas A&M was up and down - from 9.5 tackles for loss as a freshman to just 7.5 combined as a sophomore and a junior - but he finished strong, recording 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 2018.
Renell Wren, Arizona State
Wren's testing at the combine indicated a level of explosiveness that wasn't always seen during his Sun Devils career. He recorded only 4.5 tackles for loss as a senior, but the 6-foot-5, 318-pound tackle will draw intrigue as a project for NFL teams.
Cortez Broughton, Cincinnati
The 6-foot-2, 293-pound prospect has good burst for his size, which helped him record 16.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks as a senior. Broughton was a four-year starter for the Bearcats.
Other notable interior defensive linemen
Byron Cowart, Maryland
Kevin Givens, Penn State
Daniel Wise, Kansas
Greg Gaines, Washington
Armon Watts, Arkansas
Albert Huggins, Clemson
Gerald Willis, Miami (Fla.)
Dontavius Russell, Auburn
Isaiah Buggs, Alabama
Terry Beckner, Missouri

Walker was merely a one-year starter for Georgia but made the most of it, producing 11 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. The 6-foot-2, 251-pounder should help a team as a pass-rusher.
Maxx Crosby, Eastern Michigan
A lightly recruited player out of Texas who wound up in the MAC, Crosby produced 35.5 tackles for loss and 18.5 sacks in two years as a starter. At 6-foot-5, 255 pounds, he still has room to develop.
Anthony Nelson, Iowa
The 6-foot-7, 271-pound Nelson is more of a 4-3 defensive end. His production in Big Ten play the past two seasons - 14 sacks in 18 games - was impressive.
Other notable defensive ends
Kingsley Keke, Texas A&M
Christian Miller, Alabama
John Cominsky, Charleston (W.Va.)
Shareef Miller, Penn State
Jordan Brailford, Oklahoma State
Austin Bryant, Clemson
Charles Omenihu, Texas
Jalen Jelks, Oregon
Justin Hollins, Oregon
Joe Jackson, Miami (Fla.)
Icon Sportswire / Getty ImagesBlake Cashman, Minnesota
A former walk-on, Cashman posted 104 tackles, including 15 for loss, for the Golden Gophers. The 6-foot-1, 237-pound prospect also had 7.5 sacks as a reserve in 2016.
Drue Tranquill, Notre Dame
Tranquill was a terrific three-year starter for the Fighting Irish, recording 86 tackles and nine tackles for loss as a senior. He also tested tremendously well at the combine, with above-average 40-yard-dash and bench-press numbers.
Mack Wilson, Alabama
The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Wilson produced 70 tackles in 2018 and intercepted six passes in 2017 and 2018 combined. NFL.com compares him to fellow Crimson Tide alumnus C.J. Mosley.
Other notable linebackers
Ben Burr-Kirven, Washington
David Long, West Virginia
Emeke Egbule, Houston
Cameron Smith, USC
Te'von Coney, Notre Dame
Terrill Hanks, New Mexico State
Vosean Joseph, Florida
Ty Summers, TCU
T.J. Edwards, Wisconsin
Tyrel Dodson, Texas A&M
Icon Sportswire / Getty ImagesJulian Love, Notre Dame
Love will provide great Day 3 value after an excellent career in South Bend, Indiana. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound corner was as productive as any in the draft, recording 36 pass breakups and four interceptions over the last two years.
Isaiah Johnson, Houston
The 6-foot-2, 208-pound corner ran a 4.4-second 40, so he possesses a solid combination of speed and length. He actually began his career as a receiver, catching 21 passes in 2015 and 2016.
Amani Oruwariye, Penn State
Oruwariye intercepted seven passes over the last two seasons for the Nittany Lions and has good length for the position at 6-foot-2.
Other notable cornerbacks
Saivion Smith, Alabama
Jordan Brown, South Dakota State
Kris Boyd, Texas
Iman Marshall, USC
Kendall Sheffield, Ohio State
Corey Ballentine, Washburn
Michael Jackson, Miami (Fla.)
Ka'dar Hollman, Toledo
Jimmy Moreland, James Madison
Jordan Miller, Washington
Icon Sportswire / Getty ImagesAmani Hooker, Iowa
The 5-foot-11, 210-pound Hooker was the Big Ten's Defensive Back of the Year after posting 65 tackles and four interceptions in 2018.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Florida
The 5-foot-11, 210-pound safety did it all for the Gators in 2018 - 71 tackles (nine for loss), three sacks, and four interceptions (including two touchdowns).
Malik Gant, Marshall
Gant didn't put up impressive numbers at the combine (a 4.63 40 time among them) but stood out for the Thundering Herd over his last two seasons. As a senior, the 6-foot, 209-pound safety recorded 94 tackles, including eight for loss.
Other notable safeties
Marvell Tell, USC
Sheldrick Redwine, Miami (Fla.)
Saquan Hampton, Rutgers
Khari Willis, Michigan State
