The second day of the draft was a day for defenders, with 20 defensive players being picked in the second round alone. But it wasn’t all about defense, as the Buffalo Bills picked up wide receiver Keon Coleman, who is expected to bring some much-needed firepower to their offense.

The Eagles also made a splash, picking up Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean, who is expected to bolster their defense. And let’s not forget about the Saints, who picked up Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, who is known for his impressive defensive skills.

As the draft continued, the excitement only grew. Fans packed into Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza, eager to catch a glimpse of the action. And with the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announcing that Detroit was nearing Nashville’s cumulative attendance record of 600,000, set in 2019, it was clear that this was an event for the ages.
