Two Miami players named in best available list going into Day 2 of NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans made it official with their selection of Miami QB Cam Ward with the top overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night. He was the only — which is not a bad thing — player from the University of Miami who came off the board in the first round. Moving into Day 2 of the Draft, rounds 2 and 3 will be pivotal for teams looking to separate themselves by filling holes in their roster and selecting players that fell for whatever reason.

So, who is best available? Yahoo Sports released a list of their top 43 players still waiting to hear their names called. Of that group, tight end Elijah Arroyo and running back Damien Martinez were the players from Miami that were listed. Adam Schefter also released a list of players available — presumably the most notable — and Arroyo was mentioned.

Arroyo is practically a lock to be off the board by the end of the night but other tight ends mentioned on the list were Harold Fannin Jr. out of Bowling Green and Mason Taylor out of LSU. Sometimes the position can be tricky as TE is not as high of a position of value for a lot of NFL teams.

EDGE Tyler Baron is rated as the No. 108 best available and offensive guard Jalen Rivers is No. 122 on ESPN's big board. Baron and Rivers project to be players that will be selected on Day 3 of the NFL Draft.

Arroyo is No. 9 and Martinez comes in at No. 91 on ESPN's list. The discrepancy is notable but Martinez could certainly be drafted in Day 2, it just depends on if other running backs are selected such as TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins of Ohio State. For Arroyo, he is the top rated TE going into Day 2. Teams may have a preference on which TE they want but he should be off the board on Friday night.
