The 49ers pinned their hopes on young defensive players, the Bears gave their new offensive whiz new toys and the Patriots finally supported their quarterback.

Travis Hunter was the headliner at No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while LaJohntay Wester (No. 203 overall to the Baltimore Ravens) and Jimmy Horn Jr. (No. 208 overall to the Carolina Panthers) went in the sixth round.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. got downright weird ― or weirder, in his mostly likable way ― as Sanders slid past the Steelers at No. 21, then the Giants at No. 25 (after they traded back into the first round for Mississippi quarterback Jaxson Dart), and all the way to Friday’s Day 2 of the draft.
