Rounds 2/3 are set to begin at 7 p.m. ET on Friday
The Cincinnati Bengals have selected Michigan safety Daxton Hill with the No. 31 overall pick.
Hill totaled 149 tackles, and four interceptions over three seasons with the Wolverines.
He was the second Michigan player drafted in the first round after defensive end Aiden Hutchinson was taken by the Detroit Lions No. 2 overall.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Purdue defensive lineman George Karlaftis with their No. 30 overall pick.
Originally from Greece, Karlaftis didn't move to the U.S. until eight years ago.
"I haven't been playing this game for very long," he said. "I feel like my best football is ahead of me."
Karlaftis earned 14 sacks during his college career with Purdue.
The Green Bay Packers have selected Georgia defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt with their No. 28 overall pick.
The Packers decided to go defense again after a handful of wide receivers were already picked earlier this evening.
Wyatt joins his fellow Georgia teammate Quay Walker, who the team selected No. 22 overall on Thursday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded back into the first round, selecting Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd with the No. 27 overall pick.
A fired up Lloyd was seen lifting up Roger Goodell on the stage.
"I'm just ready to ... win a Super Bowl," he said. "Duval, lets turn it up."
The Jags continue to sure up their defense. The team selected Georgia lineman Travon Walker with the No. 1 overall pick.
The Jaguars traded their No. 33, No. 106 and No. 180 selections to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the No. 27 pick.
The New York Jets have traded back into the first round, selecting Florida State lineman Jermaine Johnson II No. 26 overall.
It was the Jets third pick in the first round on Thursday.
They previously selected Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
"I'm so glad the Jets came and got me," Johnson said. "We'll wreak havoc."
The Jets made the pick after trading with the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans received the No. 35, No. 69 and No. 163 overall pick. The Jets received the No. 26, and No. 101 overall picks.
The Dallas Cowboys have selected Tulsa offensive tackle Tyler Smith with their No. 24 overall pick.
The move comes roughly a decade after they drafted another Smith, Tyron Smith, with their No. 9 overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys hope Tyler Smith will protect quarterback Dak Prescott for years to come.
The Buffalo Bill have selected Florida cornerback Kaiir Elam with their No. 23 overall pick in the draft.
The Bills selected Elam after trading their No. 25 and No. 130 overall selections to the Ravens, in exchange for the No. 23 overall pick.
Elam totaled 39 tackles, 11 pass break ups and 2 interceptions in 2020 with the Gators.
The team made the move with Tre'Davious White recovering from ACL injury.
The Green Bay Packers have selected linebacker Quay Walker No. 22 overall in the draft.
Walker, a ferocious hitter at Georgia, totaled 137 tackles during his college career that ended with a National Championship.
The Packers decided against grabbing an offensive weapon for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the first round.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected quarterback Kenny Pickett with the No. 20 overall pick in the draft.
Pickett threw for 12,202 yards and 81 touchdowns in his career at Pittsburgh.
He won't have to go far, as he hopes to replace Ben Roethlisberger, who announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this year.
Pickett was the first quarterback selected in the draft so far.
The Philadelphia Eagles have traded their No.18 and No. 101 overall picks in the draft to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Following the trade, the Titans grabbed Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks with their newly acquired No. 18 overall selection.
Burks drew comparisons to Brown during the broadcast. He is a new target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Six wide receivers have now gone in the first round so far.

The Arizona Cardinals have acquired Marquise Brown in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Cardinals got Brown and Baltimore's No. 100 overall pick in exchange for their No. 23 overall pick, the team announced.
Brown earned 1,008 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season with the Ravens.
The Baltimore Ravens have selected Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton No. 14 overall.
Considered one of the top 5 players in the draft, Hamilton fell a bit from where he was projected to go before Baltimore picked him up.
"It's crazy it doesn't sound real," Hamilton said. "I just hope to keep the tradition going, they already have a great team."

The NFL Draft started with a moment of silence for Dwayne Haskins Thursday night, just weeks after the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was killed after being struck on a Florida highway.
Haskins, who would have turned 25 Tuesday, was attempting to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 on foot when he was hit by a dump truck around 6:37 a.m. April 9, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
He was pronounced dead on the highway.

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis No. 13 overall following a trade with the Houston Texans.
The Eagles received the No. 13 overall pick, while the Texans got the No. 15, No. 124, No. 162, and No. 166 overall picks.
It marks three trades in a row, and ends a run on offensive players.
The Detroit Lions have selected Jameson Williams No. 12 overall after trading up in the first round with the Minnesota Vikings.
Jameson was a speedy wideout at Alabama, and is coming of an ACL injury.
"I should be back soon," he said of his injury.
The selection comes as wide receivers went over the board at No. 8, No. 10, No. 11 and No. 12 overall.
The Lions reportedly traded their No. 32, No. 34, and No. 66 picks, for the Vikings No. 12 and No. 46 overall selections.
The New Orleans Saints opted to select Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave No. 11 overall after trading up in the draft.
The pick was made following a trade with the Washington Commanders.
"I respect them for taking that chance on me," Olave said.
It means two Buckeye wide receivers were taken in the first 11 picks of the draft. Garrett Wilson was taken by the Jets No. 10 overall.
The New York Jets used their second pick in the first round to select Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson No. 10 overall.
The selection means no quarterback was taken in the first 10 picks of the draft.
Wilson is a 2nd-team AP All-American with the Buckeyes. He had 12 receiving touchdowns in 2021.
"I'm happy that the New York Jets took a chance on me," Wilson said. "Really excited to get to the Big Apple for sure."
The Atlanta Falcons have selected USC wide receiver Drake London No. 8 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
London is the first wide receiver taken during the draft so far.
"I'm just speechless," he said.
When asked how he felt about playing with tight end Kyle Pitts, London suggested, "It's twin towers."
The moves comes as Julio Jones is no longer with the team and Calvin Ridley was suspended suspended indefinitely through the 2022 season for betting on NFL games.
The New York Giants selected Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal with the No. 7 overall selection in the draft -- their second time picking in the top 10 on Thursday.
The Giants previously took Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux No. 5 overall.
Standing at 6-foot-7, Neal will be paired with Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, who the Giants took No.4 overall in 2020.

The New York Giants selected Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux with the fifth overall selection in the draft.
Giants hope the selection of Thibodeaux will bolster a pass rush that earned 34 sacks in 2021.
"It was just a blessing," Thibodeaux said on the draft stage. "Just to be part of an organization like this is ridiculous."
The pick was announced by Sam Prince, a Make-A-Wish kid.

The New York Jets have selected Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner with the No. 4 overall pick.
Gardner finished his final season with the Bearcats with 40 tackles, three interceptions, and four pass breakups, earning AAC Defensive Player of the Year accolades.
The pick comes after the Houston Texans selected cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. No. 3 overall.
"I'm extremely blessed," Gardner said. "You can't have too much sauce."

The Detroit Lions selected hometown defensive end Aiden Hutchinson No. 2 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
After the Jacksonville Jaguars opted to select Travon Walker with the top overall pick, the Lions wasted no time in selecting Hutchinson, a standout from Michigan.
"I'm happy I get to go back to Detroit," Hutchinson said. "I'm fired up."

The Jacksonville Jaguars are officially on the clock, with the team set to pick No. 1 overall for the second straight year.
Unlike last year with Trevor Lawrence, it is unclear who will hear their named called first by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday.
As usual, Goodell was showered with boos as he took the stage and introduced former and current Raiders in Las Vegas.
It's only minutes until the world finds out.

Former NFL coach June Jones was spot on last year when he predicted Mac Jones would have immense success in his rookie season. He would lead the New England Patriots to a playoff appearance.
Jones, the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and interim coach of the San Diego Chargers, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he thinks most of the quarterbacks in this year’s class are "wait-and-see" type players. He said out of everyone, Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett was the one he liked the most.
"I think they’re all gonna be wait-and-see guys. I do think (Kenny Pickett) if he goes to the right team, I think he possibly could be (a starter)," Jones said. "I’m not high on (Sam Howell) from North Carolina. But Pickett I think has enough throwing ability and has been in a passing offense. … I think he may be able to jump up in there and get a chance anyway to play early."
