BuffsCountry Live Blog: NFL Draft Day Two
No Colorado Buffaloes went off the board on Thursday night during the first round of the draft. That means the chances of them going on Friday are that much more likely.
Laviska Shenault is expected to be the first Buff to hear his name called during rounds two or three.
Six wide receivers were selected during the first round of the draft. Some of the best available not named Shenault include Denzel Mims, Tee Higgins and Chase Claypool.
Michael Pittman Jr. and DJ Hamler could also possibly go ahead of Shenault.
The other Buff that could be selected Friday night is Davion Taylor. Taylor had a really nice showing at the combine and pro day and his athleticism has helped him move up draft boards. Although it is not likely he goes in the second or third round, it is still a possibility.

5:00: Let's roll.
5:05: Albert Breer tried to tease Colorado fans but they are not going to bite. Looks like the Bengals will go with Tee Higgins. The good news is that's another receiver off the board and one pick closer to someone taking Shenault.
5:20: Another wide receiver off the board as the Colts take Michael Pittman Jr. Longer injury history than Shenault and not even close to as talented.
5:38: Fastest forty minutes of my life but Shenault has yet to go off the board. There are definitely
5:42:
7:26: I am back after dealing with the Laviska Shenault stuff! He is officially a Jaguar. Now we wait for Davion Taylor.
7:38: Love Jeremy Chinn. I think he's going to be one of the best safeties in the NFL in five years.
7:48: Julian Okwara is an absolute steal at this point in the third round. Great pick by the Lions.
