Night two of the 2022 NFL Draft has come and gone, and there were even more surprises after a jaw-dropping first night filled with blockbuster trades and shocking draft falls.
One of the biggest shockers was the precipitous free-fall from Malik Willis and, to a lesser extent, Matt Corral. The QB pair were snagged in the third round by the Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers, respectively. Perhaps even more shocking than Willis and Corral falling so far in the 2022 NFL Draft was that Desmond Ridder was picked before them.
Logan Hall, a defensive tackle out of Houston, was chosen with the first pick of the second round (No. 33 overall) and on the draft's second night by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Danny Gray, a receiver out of SMU, was taken by the San Francisco 49ers with the final pick of the third round (No. 105 overall) in the last pick of the night.

Here's how the entire penultimate 2022 NFL Draft night panned out:
11 receivers were selected on Friday night, and with the NFL wide receiver market booming, teams could be trying to find cheap replacements for the latest crop of star wideouts aiming for a record payday.
In addition, 11 EDGE rushers were chosen, with Arnold Ebiketie and Boye Mafe going in the top 40 picks.
The 2022 NFL Draft had a much quieter second night
On night one of the three-night NFL Draft spectacular, blockbuster deals were made left and right. The transactions have been keeping things interesting since this draft class has been accused by the likes of Skip Bayless of being low on star power:
"In all my years of closely watching drafts, covering drafts, analyzing drafts dating into the mid 1970s. I have never seen a more star-less draft than this one. I have never seen a greater void at the top of the draft than this one because it's just completely up in the air. Who's the best player? I don't know."
A.J. Brown and Marquise Brown switched teams on night one, uniting with a young electric receiving core in Philadelphia and a familiar face under center in Arizona, respectively. Elsewhere, there were 11 trades on night one of the NFL Draft, and 10 trades on night two.
A year on from the 2022 NFL Draft, A.J. Brown has one Super Bowl trip to his name with the Eagles, while the Falcons have chosen to go with Desmond Ridder as their QB1 in the 2023 NFL season.
The Titans have Malik Willis on the roster as a backup QB, though it could be difficult for the former Liberty QB to get reps with Will Levis also on the roster to back up Ryan Tannehill.
Jets star Breece Hall flashed a lot of potential, though he ended up missing most of 2023. Chiefs pick Skyy Moore, however, ended up winning the Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes.
