Maybe one day there will be a country music song about Will Levis’ tortured wait to be chosen at the 2023 NFL Draft. 

After he surprisingly fell out of the first round, Levis didn’t have to wait long Friday night to hear his name called.

He was the second pick of the second round by the Titans, who traded up with the Cardinals to get him.

The rocket-armed quarterback, who was projected to go as high as No. 4 to the Colts, landed in a promising place.

Former Patriots star Jason McCourty made no friends on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft.

“I have some fond memories here,” ex-cornerback told the crowd before announcing the Titans’ third-round pick. “I remember being at Arrowhead Stadium in 2018 when [the Patriots] won the AFC Title, and we went to the Super Bowl, and Patrick Mahomes is one trophy short.”

His two-minute-long tirade was just getting started.

The Jets are excited about center Joe Tippmann’s football acumen, but they would be remiss not to mention his luscious head of hair.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh spoke to reporters Friday night after selecting the Wisconsin center with the 43rd overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft on Friday night and the first thing Douglas mentioned was Tippmann’s trademark mullet.

“[We’re] fired up to add Big Joe to the team and his Wisconsin waterfall,” Douglas said. “Probably the best mullet in the Draft right now.”

Welcome to Trader Joe’s. 

The Giants were open for business again on Friday night and, with general manager Joe Schoen and his staff making a bold move once again, a speed receiver was added after the potential starting center was secured, turning the first two days of the NFL Draft into a rewarding and productive roster-building exercise. 

The haul was impressive: Center John Michael Schmitz in the second round, as the Giants stood pat at pick No. 57 and addressed a major need.

And then, Schoen showed that he will do what it takes to get the player he covets.

The Vikings selected Mekhi Blackmon, a cornerback out of USC, with the last pick of the third round (No. 102).

With that, the third round is completed.

Rounds 4,5,6 and 7 resume on Saturday.

When Will McDonald first walked onto a football field in 2016, he didn’t even know what the goalposts were. 

“I literally didn’t know anything about football,” McDonald said. “I couldn’t tell you a tackle from a guard, anything.” 

Seven years later, McDonald is the first-round pick of the New York Jets.

The edge rusher arrived in Florham Park on Friday, a few hours after the team selected him with the No. 15 overall pick.

The Jets got the best player in the draft in a certain category.

No, not athleticism or production.

Mullets.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas claimed Tippman had the best mullet in the draft after the Jets selected the center with the No. 43 pick.

He played college at Wisconsin.

The Buccaneers got a character with tackle Cody Mauch from North Dakota.

The tackle proudly sports two missing front teeth, and his trademark long hair adds an exquisite touch.

“I got my teeth knocked out in a seventh-grade conference championship basketball game,” Mauch explained in an ESPN NFL Draft feature.

The offensive tackle who was selected no. 48 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft continued.

“I just dove for a loose ball and ran into one of my buddies’ heads and had to go to the doctor and get them pulled out.
