Day 1 of the NFL draft certainly was eventful, and there was intrigue in the second and third rounds, as well.
There are still some potential fantasy threats to be drafted on the final day of the draft, but until then here are my takes on the fantasy-relevant selections from Day 2.
Join us again on Saturday, as we continue to offer fantasy analysis of the most interesting picks from Day 3.
Second round
35. Hunter Henry, TE, San Diego Chargers
Henry is the top tight end prospect in this year's draft and fills the Chargers' void as a short-term replacement for Ladarius Green and a long-term heir to Antonio Gates. Henry is a terrific pass-catching prospect, having dropped no passes on 74 targets last season. Like Green, Henry will play a complementary role to Gates, and his playing time won't be helped by the team's three-WR-heavy scheme. While waiting in the wings, Henry will look to improve his blocking. Barring a Gates injury, he holds little fantasy value in 2016, which is often the case for rookie tight ends. Of course, he's certainly a worthwhile dynasty addition. Expect a career of fringe TE1 production.
2016 projection: 29 receptions, 305 yards, 3 TD
40. Sterling Shepard, WR, New York Giants
Shepard is on the small size at 5-foot-10 and 194 pounds, but don't let that deceive you. He has exceptional hands, is super quick and is a top-notch route runner. The Giants use a ton of three-WR sets, so Shepard is guaranteed a significant rookie-season role, even if Victor Cruz is back to full health. And considering the Giants' lack of skill-position talent behind Odell Beckham Jr., Shepard won't be short on targets. With Beckham making plays downfield, Shepard figures to dominate underneath work out of the slot (he ran 71 percent of his routes from there last season). Also in the mix for punt return duties, Shepard will be busy as a rookie. There's a lot to like here from a fantasy perspective. Shepard is flex material and gets a boost in PPR.
2016 projection: 68 receptions, 842 yards, 5 TD
Some NFL evaluators believe Sterling Shepard is the best route runner in this year's class. Good luck covering him and Beckham.

45. Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans
Well, there's a shocker. Not long after trading for DeMarco Murray, the Titans have added the reigning Heisman Trophy winner to the mix. Murray was ticketed for a massive offensive role that would've thrust him back into the RB1 mix. Now, with Henry as part of the equation and sure to be involved, especially in short-yardage and goal-line situations, Murray's fantasy value takes a significant hit. The Titans will obviously lean heavily on the run, which will allow him to stick as a fringe RB2. As for Henry, this isn't an ideal landing spot for short-term playing time. The speedy 6-foot-3, 247-pound power back will do very little on passing downs, but will be busy on first down and score his share of touchdowns. Henry will be a top-end handcuff out of the gate, and although he's an excellent dynasty addition, he'll always have a limited ceiling in PPR leagues.
2016 projection: 139 carries, 603 yards, 5 TD; 4 receptions, 26 yards
Could be a lot of Power O & Lead schemes with Murray & Henry running the ball this season. #Titans

47. Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints
When it comes to landing spots for receivers, it doesn't get much better than New Orleans. Thomas steps into what should be a fairly significant role in an offense that ranked fourth in both plays and touchdowns last season. At 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, Thomas is one of the biggest wideouts picked during the first two days of this year's draft. He's not particularly fast (4.57 40-yard dash) but has good ball skills and big-play ability. Thomas makes sense as a potential replacement for Marques Colston in the slot, and will compete with Willie Snead for reps opposite Brandin Cooks. He is well worth a pick in the middle rounds, as he has WR2 upside in one of the league's top offenses.
2016 projection: 59 receptions, 784 yards, 5 TD
51. Christian Hackenberg, QB, New York Jets
With Ryan Fitzpatrick yet to re-sign, the Jets entered the draft with Geno Smith atop the depth chart. Smith now has competition in the form of Hackenberg, who went in the second round despite a poor collegiate career at Penn State. Hackenberg has a good arm and prototypical size at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds, but is wildly inaccurate and struggles with decision-making. Hackenberg is very much a project, and it's hard to imagine he'll ever be a mid-to-high-end NFL starter. If Fitzpatrick doesn't re-sign, Hackenberg could make a few starts in Chan Gailey's spread offense this season, but he's not good enough to warrant attention in fantasy leagues.
2016 projection: 81 for 151, 934 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT
55. Tyler Boyd, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
A natural replacement for Mohamed Sanu, Boyd is a versatile playmaker who will do damage as a receiver, rusher and punt returner. He is on the thin side at 6-foot-1 and 197 pounds, isn't particularly speedy (4.58 40) and struggled with fumbles last season at Pittsburgh. On the other hand, he has solid hands, is a savvy route runner and will do damage with the ball in his hands. Boyd is likely to be used in a variety of ways and figures to have more real-life value than he will in fantasy. Boyd has little completion for snaps as a rookie, with Sanu and Marvin Jones no longer around. Assuming he beats out veteran Brandon LaFell, Boyd will be third in line for targets behind A.J. Green and Tyler Eifert. Expect a lot of work near the line of scrimmage and an underwhelming touchdown total, which will means he'll be a boom/bust flier for your flex spot.
2016 projection: 49 receptions, 599 yards, 4 TD; 8 rushes, 52 yards
59. Roberto Aguayo, K, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A kicker in the second round? OK, then. The pick is a shocker, but in fairness, Aguayo is the most accurate kicker in NCAA history. He'll obviously replace Connor Barth as the Buccaneers' kicker, and considering his talent level, he'll obviously be a name to watch when you're considering a Week 1 option at the position. This is no secret, but kickers shouldn't be selected before the final round of your draft, so there's really not much to see here from a fantasy perspective.
2016 projection: 27-for-32 FG, 27-for-28 PAT
Third round
73. Kenyan Drake, RB, Miami Dolphins
He went a bit earlier than expected -- and shockingly ahead of Kenneth Dixon -- but Drake is an intriguing passing-down specialist out of Alabama, who makes for an ideal complement to Jay Ajayi. Drake is 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, owns 4.45 wheels and ran an electric 4.21 short shuttle at the combine. Considering his frame, receiving ability and explosiveness, Drake figures to settle into a role not unlike the one Charles Sims plays behind Doug Martin in Tampa Bay. Although Drake will flirt with flex value only in PPR leagues, this pick is great news for the fantasy stock of Ajayi. Without early-down competition, Ajayi will be the workhorse in Adam Gase's offense. The 2015 fifth-round pick will be a candidate for 15-plus touches every week and is certainly in the RB2 mix.
2016 projection: 68 carries, 258 yards, TD; 41 catches, 357 yards, 2 TD
81. Austin Hooper, TE, Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons hope the 6-foot-4, 254-pound Hooper is the quality, long-term replacement for Tony Gonzalez they've been looking for. Hooper had the biggest hands among tight ends at the combine but didn't stand out in any other categories. He's a good athlete, has solid hands and is a decent blocker. Hooper is comparable to Brent Celek and has the skill set to eventually settle in as Atlanta's every-down tight end. Of course, as is always the case with rookie tight ends, Hooper is unlikely to come through with much fantasy production in 2016.
2016 projection: 25 receptions, 262 yards, 2 TD
85. Braxton Miller, WR, Houston Texans
Desperate for speed and playmaking ability at wide receiver, the Texans have selected two of the quickest wide receivers in the 2016 draft. After adding Will Fuller to the perimeter in the first round, Miller will compete right away with Cecil Shorts for slot duties. A converted quarterback, Miller is a bit of a project, but he's an elite athlete, as shown by his position-best short and long shuttle times at the combine. Miller's long speed, durability and fumbles are concerns. He very well could settle in as a gadget player -- his probable role in 2016 -- and possesses serious playmaking ability. With Jaelen Strong also in the mix for reps, Miller is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar as a rookie.
2016 projection: 35 receptions, 374 yards, 2 TD; 9 carries, 57 yards
86. Leonte Carroo, WR, Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins were fairly deep at wide receiver last season and that will be the case again in 2016. Carroo isn't particularly big (6-0, 211) or fast (4.50 40-yard dash), but he's versatile, owns solid hands and has tremendous ball skills. Carroo, who averaged 20.7 yards per reception at Rutgers last season, joins DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills as field stretchers, allowing Jarvis Landry, Jordan Cameron and fellow newcomer Kenyan Drake to work underneath. Considering that Landry and Parker are locked in atop the depth chart, Carroo's best-case scenario is No. 3 during the next few seasons. That's obviously not ideal and caps his fantasy upside. Carroo is best viewed as a long-term stash in dynasty leagues, and will be nothing more than waiver-wire fodder in 2016 leagues.
2016 projection: 35 receptions, 486 yards, 3 TD
90. C.J. Prosise, RB, Seattle Seahawks
With Thomas Rawls recovering from a broken ankle and only Christine Michael and Cameron Marshall behind him on the depth chart, the Seahawks added Prosise, who is one of the most intriguing running backs entering the league this season. A converted safety and wide receiver, Prosise impressed during his one season at running back at Notre Dame. An impressive specimen at 6-0 and 220 pounds with 4.48 wheels, Prosise averaged a dominant 6.6 yards per carry and picked up 10 or more yards on 24 percent of his attempts in 2015. Rawls' injury and Seattle's high-scoring, run-heavy offense makes Prosise an extremely intriguing fantasy target this year. He'll start out on passing downs and will be one of the game's most valuable handcuffs.
2016 projection: 81 carries, 310 yards, 2 TD; 26 receptions, 209 yards, TD
91. Jacoby Brissett, QB, New England Patriots
Brissett was a bit of a surprise in the third round, but supplies the Patriots with competition for Jimmy Garoppolo behind suspended Tom Brady. Although Garoppolo is the favorite to start Week 1, Brissett will give him a run for the gig. The rookie is big, has a good arm and solid accuracy. There's no fantasy value to be had in 2016.
93. Cody Kessler, QB, Cleveland Browns
Kessler supplies the Browns with competition for Josh McCown and Robert Griffin III, but there's not much to see here. He's undersized (6-1, 220 pounds) and has a pedestrian arm. The former USC star figures to settle in as a backup.
94. Nick Vannett, TE, Seattle Seahawks
Vannett is one of the biggest incoming tight ends at 6-6 and 257 pounds. He's a solid athlete and was a versatile move tight end at Ohio State. Vannett is a good blocker and a solid receiver, which means he has a good shot to emerge into an every-down tight end. Then again, he's unlikely to ever become a high-volume target, especially considering he saw 27 targets in 10 games and averaged a lowly 8.5 yards per reception last season. Vannett will likely begin his career behind both Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson, and he has no fantasy value in 2016.
