Just like that, the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft has come and gone.

But there's plenty of action still remaining, starting with the second and third rounds taking place Friday night.

Here's a look at some Day 2 projections based largely on the picks made in the opening round.

Round 2 | Round 3

32. Cleveland Browns - Myles Jack, LB, UCLA

Jack's lengthy slide comes to an end at the top of the second round. The Browns take a chance on a potential foundation piece on the defensive side, who likely would have been a top 10 pick were it not for injury concerns.

33. Tennessee Titans - Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson

There's a slight drop-off in cornerback talent after Alexander. Tennessee capitalizes on the first-round value with the first of many Day 2 picks.

34. Dallas Cowboys - Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State

Dallas was reportedly looking to trade back into the first round to take Paxton Lynch. Though they came up short in those efforts, Cook is another young talent that could be developed as Tony Romo's eventual replacement.

35. San Diego Chargers - Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor

Already having landed Joey Bosa to solidify the edge, San Diego could certainly stand to do the same inside. Billings is the rare nose tackle capable of contributing on all three downs.

36. Baltimore Ravens - Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State

Whether Baltimore sticks with a 3-4, or makes the expected switch to a 4-3, Jones would be a strong addition inside. He's an impact player against both the run and pass.

37. Kansas City Chiefs (via SF) - Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama

Reed is a force against the run. Upgrading in that regard should give Kansas City's star pass-rushers even more opportunities to go to work.

38. Jacksonville Jaguars - Cody Whitehair, OL, Kansas State

Jacksonville must better protect Blake Bortles going forward, and Whitehair has the well-rounded skill set necessary to be a starter at any position across the offensive front.

39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson

After electing to address the defensive backfield in the opening round, Dodd slipping to this spot still allows the Bucs to make a major upgrade to their pass rush.

40. New York Giants - Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama

Ragland fills a long-standing need at linebacker for the Giants. He'll have the potential to contribute as a three-down player, with his greatest impact always coming as a downhill run defender.

41. Chicago Bears - A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

A stout interior defender with the athletic ability to further develop his game as a pass-rusher, Robinson could line up at any position across Chicago's three-man front.

42. Miami Dolphins - Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

The Dolphins have clearly been searching for a running back throughout the offseason. Henry remaining on the board this late in the round would present an opportunity far too enticing to pass up.

43. Tennessee Titans (via LA, PHI) - Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State

Tennessee gets another receiver for Marcus Mariota with a talented player who was underused at Ohio State. Thomas has the size and athletic ability to be a No. 1 target.

44. Oakland Raiders - Jonathan Bullard DL, Florida

The Raiders love versatility with their front seven players. Bullard provides just that as a possible three-down defender at a number of positions.

45. Tennessee Titans (via LA) - Darian Thompson, S, Boise State

Thompson adds a playmaker to the back end of Tennessee's defense. He racked up an impressive 17 interceptions across four seasons at Boise State.

46. Detroit Lions - Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech

Fuller's combination of coverage ability and ball skills would be a key addition to a Lions defense that managed just nine interceptions in 2015.

47. New Orleans Saints - Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State

After adding to the interior in the first round, upgrading on the edge could finally see the Saints' defensive front become a strength. Ogbah can be an every-down defender opposite Cameron Jordan.

48. Indianapolis Colts - Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky

The Colts would likely be thrilled to have Spence available at this spot, as it would have been no surprise to see this exact match take shape in the first round. A glaring need is addressed with plenty of value.

49. Buffalo Bills - Le'Raven Clark, OT, Texas Tech

Clark could be a day-one starter at right tackle, also giving the Bills an option on the left side if Cordy Glenn isn't signed long term.

50. Atlanta Falcons - Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas

The Falcons will almost certainly be looking to land a tight end at some point in this draft. A productive receiver and a capable blocker, Henry is easily the top player at the position.

51. New York Jets - Kamalei Correa, LB, Boise State

The Jets already boast what may be the NFL's most dominant set of interior pass-rushers. Correa complements that group with his ability off the edge.

52. Houston Texans - T.J. Green, S, Clemson

The Texans may be a defensive back or two away from fielding a shutdown defense. Green is an incredibly athletic cover man who'd slide in at free safety to help the unit against the pass.

53. Washington Redskins - Austin Johnson, DT, Penn State

Johnson is the kind of player who could instantly help the Redskins patch up a leaky run defense. At the very least, he'd be a strong two-down player at nose tackle.

54. Minnesota Vikings - Su'a Cravens, LB/S, USC

While he plays safety or more of a weak-side linebacker role, the Vikings could certainly find a home for Cravens' ability.

55. Cincinnati Bengals - Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma

The Bengals not coming away with a wideout was one of several surprises in the opening round. Shepard gives the Bengals value both opposite A.J. Green and in the slot for three-receiver sets.

56. Seattle Seahawks - Christian Westerman, OL, Arizona State

Seattle doubles down on the offensive line in the first two rounds, this time bolstering the interior with another solid fit for Tom Cable's zone-blocking scheme.

57. Green Bay Packers - Joshua Perry, LB, Ohio State

Green Bay has long made it clear that they won't reach to fill a need at any spot on the roster. The value makes sense here, though, and Perry provides a much-needed upgrade at inside linebacker.

58. Pittsburgh Steelers - Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State

Opting for a cornerback in Round 1 shouldn't stop Pittsburgh from targeting additional players in the secondary. Bell's ability in coverage would go a long way toward shoring up that unit.

59. Kansas City Chiefs - Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor

The cornerback position became a priority when the Chiefs were unable to retain Sean Smith in free agency. Howard and Marcus Peters would make for an impressive young tandem.

60. New England Patriots - Jason Spriggs, OL Indiana

Tom Brady has continued to play at a high level regardless, but the Patriots must solve their issues up front. Spriggs is a potential starter at either tackle spot.

61. New England Patriots (via ARI) - Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU

Defensive end became arguably the roster's most glaring need after Chandler Jones was trade to Arizona. Kaufusi can see work both at that spot and sliding inside for nickel looks.

62. Carolina Panthers - Jeremy Cash, S, Duke

Cash is technically an addition to the secondary, but he does his best work closer to the line of scrimmage. Deploying him alongside the likes of Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis could take this defense yet another step further.

63. Denver Broncos - Javon Hargrave, DL, South Carolina State

Denver gets a high-ceiling interior rusher in Hargrave, who racked up an incredible 29.5 sacks over his last two seasons at South Carolina State.
