The New Orleans Saints surprised everyone in the 2020 NFL Draft by selecting Michigan center Cesar Ruiz in the first round, and now we’re closing in on the second day of selections.
Rounds two and three will kick off at 6 p.m. CT on Friday night, with the draft broadcast from ESPN, NFL Network, and ABC, just like the first round.
The Saints have just one selection — for now. Chatter has grown in volume from the media that the team is working quickly to find a trade partner so that they can either move up or add more picks. But until a deal is finalized, the Saints must wait to make their next pick until the tail end of the third round at No. 88 overall.
Two other teams have no picks at all on Friday night: the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers. A handful of teams will make their first picks tonight, including the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans.
Conversely, the New England Patriots have more second-day picks than anyone, with five selections in rounds two and three. The Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, and Seattle Seahawks each own multiple picks. Watch out for the Saints to try to cut a deal with one of them.
