What time does 2023 NFL Draft start today? Live TV coverage, schedule for Friday's Rounds 2-3 image

Teams got their headliners on Day 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. Now, it's time to add some depth pieces.

Gone are such stars as Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson and more. And while they doubtless will be called on to be major contributors to their respective teams early in their careers, it's how teams draft on Days 2 and 3 that should have the biggest impact on their future success (or lack thereof).

And that's not to say there isn't still star power remaining on the board, either. Several potentially high-impact prospects remain to be taken, though their success could depend just as much on where they're taken as opposed to their own talent and ability.

It will be interesting to see how teams draft on Friday, either to complement the players they took in the first round or to address other areas of need. Five additional teams — the Dolphins, 49ers, Browns, Rams and Broncos — will also be making their first pick of the 2023 NFL Draft.

With that, The Sporting News has everything you need to know about Day 2 of the NFL draft, including time, TV channel, streaming options, draft order and more:
