The 2016 is through a wild first round, and we start to slowly work our way into the grind. Day 2 will still feature some big names as we cover rounds two and three. The San Francisco 49ers traded away their second round pick to move into the back of the first round, but they do have have one pick in the third round. It is possible they move back into the second, but we'll see what the evening brings.
The 49ers drafted DeForest Buckner and Joshua Garnett on Thursday, and opinions are mixed. The Buckner pick is receiving mostly positive reviews, while the decision to trade up for a grade left some folks scratching their heads. It does set up both sides of the trenches, which is how Trent Baalke likes to build out his teams. The 49ers now have nine picks remaining to fill various other needs.
Round two kicks off at 4:00 p.m. PT from Chicago. The NFL allows seven minutes per pick in round two, and then five minutes per pick in round three. The three comp picks at the end of round three get four minutes. Day 3 will kick off on Saturday at 9 a.m. PT, and it will be five minutes per pick for rounds four through six, and four minutes for round seven and all the comp picks.
Television
ESPN and NFL Network will once again provide television coverage. I prefer NFL Network, but given that I spend more time on Twitter than watching the television screen, I suppose it's not too big a deal what is on. But if you're looking for the best option, it's a tougher call after day one. Once Chris Berman is off the screen, ESPN's coverage improves quite a bit.
