Day 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books. On Friday night, we have the second and third rounds, and there are plenty of potential impact players still on the board.
One of those players is Kentucky quarterback Will Levis, who at times was among the favorites to go as high as No. 2 overall. Instead, Levis dropped out of the first round entirely, and will presumably be one of the most sought-after players when things kick off on Friday evening.
In fact, Levis was already coveted toward the end of the proceedings on Thursday night, as according to NFL Media the Pittsburgh Steelers have already received multiple calls from teams looking to move up to No. 32 (the first pick of the second round), with Levis as their target.
With that in mind, and with trades sure to rock the draft just as they usually do, we’re going to take a look at some of the teams that are most likely to move up (for Levis, or for someone else) or down in the draft on Day 2.
Most likely to move up
- Lions: We have already seen that Detroit is more than willing to move up or down the board multiple times, and the Lions owning the No. 34 pick might make the cost to move to 32 a bit lower than it would for some other teams. The Lions have repeatedly signaled confidence in Jared Goff, but landing Levis as a potential successor in the second round would be a strong move.
- Raiders: The Raiders were reportedly after one of the top quarterbacks in the class, but couldn’t land a trade to move up to No. 1 and then Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson all went in the top four. Las Vegas clearly felt the value of Tyree Wilson was better than Levis, but with Jimmy Garoppolo essentially on a one-year deal where the team can choose whether or not to bring him back in each of the successive two seasons, they have to be considered a candidate to get in the Levis sweepstakes on Friday night.
- Seahawks: I feel like a broken record here, but Geno Smith was signed to what essentially amounts to a one-year deal earlier this offseason, and the Seahawks — armed with a ton of picks, and coming off of the best draft in the league last year and landing Devon Witherspoon…
