Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft begins Friday evening in Pittsburgh after Round 1 concluded the previous night. Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston and Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren headline the group of notable players still available. Teams may target trades for early Round 2 positions, including the San Francisco 49ers' slot.
The 2026 NFL Draft continues in Pittsburgh with Round 2 set to start Friday night. Last year, the No. 33 overall pick came at 7:12 p.m. ET, and similar timing is expected this year. Interest is building around the 49ers' current position as teams eye moves to grab top talents remaining on the board. Tennessee's Jermod McCoy ranks as the No. 6 overall prospect, followed by Clemson's Avieon Terrell at No. 10 and Toledo's Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 22. Other standouts include Indiana's D'Angelo Ponds at No. 26, Texas Tech's Lee Hunter at No. 28 and Ohio State's Kayden McDonald at No. 32. Washington's Denzel Boston, a wide receiver, sits at No. 45 on the big board, while Alabama's Germie Bernard is No. 40 and Clemson's Antonio Williams No. 42. The list extends deeper with edge rushers like Texas A&M's Cashius Howell at No. 33 and Illinois' Gabe Jacas at No. 34, along with linebackers, offensive linemen and more through pick No. 82. Defensive standouts from the 2025 draft, such as Carson Schwesinger and Nick Emmanwori, provide context for the talent level entering Day 2.
