There's a certain dread involved in drafting in the first round. You're making a big commitment to a player, and you know as a decision-maker that name is on your résumé -- success or failure.

Day 2? That's when you get excited. The contracts get a little smaller; you still get to draft players that compare favorably with many of the first-round guys; and when you get great players out of this range, history smiles on you.

Here are the best players left on my board heading into Day 2 of the 2016 NFL draft.

1. Myles Jack, ILB, UCLA

Questions about whether Jack's knee is a major concern have been answered. Yes, it is. But he's a top-10 talent and, if healthy, he's a fit on any roster.

Watch Jack's highlights

2. A'Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama

Robinson fell based on questions of whether he can be a disruptive presence as opposed to more of a steady run-stopping type. He can go as soon as Cleveland with the first pick in Round 2.

Kiper: Round 1 winners and question marks
As expected, quarterbacks went 1-2 in the NFL draft. But Round 1 wasn't without a few questionable picks. Rounds 2 and 3 continue Friday (7 p.m. ET on ESPN & WatchESPN).
3. Jarran Reed, DL, Alabama

Arguably the best run-stuffer in the class, he loses a little luster because he won't get sacks, but he makes any D-line better. Cleveland or Tennessee are fits right away in Round 2.
