2018 NFL Rounds 2-3 mock draft: Jason Witten fallout in Dallas

Editor's note: This mock draft was updated Friday afternoon to reflect news of the Patriots' trade for 49ers OT Trent Brown and Cowboys TE Jason Witten's expected retirement.

With Round 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft in the books, here's a look at how Rounds 2-3 could play out on Friday night (7 p.m. ET on NFL Network and FOX).

Round 2

Nick Chubb - RB, Georgia

The Browns didn't get Saquon Barkley, but they do get a quality RB for the offensive reboot.

Will Hernandez - OG, UTEP

The Giants continue to make over their offensive line with a mashing run blocker in Hernandez.

Austin Corbett - OL, Nevada

Versatile offensive lineman with the potential to play tackle, guard or center.

Josh Jackson - CB, Iowa

The Colts add a ballhawking conerback with great length and special ball skills.

Harold Landry - DE, Boston College

With their switch to a 4-3, the Colts need a pass rusher with some juice off the edge.

Connor Williams - OL, Texas

Williams struggled at times at tackle this past season, and he could benefit from a move inside to guard.

Isaiah Oliver - CB, Colorado

Long-armed, athletic cornerback adds size to the Bears' secondary.

D.J. Chark - WR, LSU

With contract decisions coming up in the next couple seasons for Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas, Chark offers a viable option for the future.

Carlton Davis - CB, Auburn

Big, long and physical with the ability to punish receivers from press coverage and handle his run-support duties.

Mason Rudolph - QB, Oklahoma State

The Dolphins add a quarterback to groom as the eventual replacement for Ryan Tannehill.

Donte Jackson - CB, LSU

Malcolm Butler is gone, and Bill Belichick reloads with the LSU speedster, who has exciting upside.

James Daniels - C, Iowa

Very quick and technically proficient, Daniels improves the talent level along the interior line on offense.

Justin Reid - S, Stanford

Intelligent captain of the defense with good speed and aggression. He could challenge for playing time quickly.

Lorenzo Carter - LB, Georgia

Carter helps to upgrade the Bengals' speed at linebacker and gives them some rush talent as a bonus.

Courtland Sutton - WR, SMU

This would be a perfect fit, as Sutton could learn from Larry Fitzgerald and team with another rookie in Josh Rosen.

Joseph Noteboom - OT, TCU

The TCU tackle has been a fast riser during the draft process and lands inside the top 50.

Darius Leonard - LB, South Carolina State

The Colts are in desperate need of a rangy linebacker and Leonard fits the bill.

Mike Gesicki - TE, Penn State

Eric Ebron is gone, but the Lions lock in with a long, talented pass-catching option in Gesicki.

Ronald Jones - RB, USC

There was some buzz at one point early in the evaluation process that Jones could be the Eagles' first-round pick.

Derrius Guice - RB, LSU

Tampa could hit a home run with this pick if Guice is still on the board.

Nathan Shepherd - DL, Fort Hays State

If the Chiefs can't find a suitable cornerback or guard, it might be tough to pass on Shepherd's talent.

Sam Hubbard - DE, Ohio State

Consistent player with good athletic ability. He'll need to try to elevate his game as a pass rusher at the next level.

Kemoko Turay - DE, Rutgers

Turay doesn't have as much production as teams would like to see, but he has terrific traits to work with as a rusher.

James Washington - WR, Oklahoma State

The Titans add a vertical weapon to pair with Corey Davis on the outside.

Maurice Hurst - DT, Michigan

Hurst is an upfield rusher who fits in the Falcons' scheme.

Christian Kirk - WR, Texas A&M

Jimmy Garoppolo could benefit a great deal from having a quick, sure-handed slot target like Kirk.

Braden Smith - OG, Auburn

Ramon Foster is 32 and due to become a free agent after the 2018 season. Smith fits the physical mold of what the Steelers would be looking for in an eventual replacement.

Deon Cain - WR, Clemson

Jacksonville finds a smooth operator with good deep speed to add into the rotation at wideout.

Uchenna Nwosu - LB, USC

Nwosu gives the Vikings roster flexibility thanks to his ability to handle linebacker and pass-rush duties.

Kyle Lauletta - QB, Richmond

Lauletta lacks ideal arm strength, but he's intelligent and could potentially fit directly into the offense that Tom Brady is running.

Anthony Miller - WR, Memphis

Former walk-on with a chip on his shoulder ... sounds like a certain QB in Cleveland.
