2026 NFL Mock Draft, Day 2: Updated Projections for 2nd, 3rd Rounds
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the rear-view mirror, and as is the case every year, there's still a ton of talent still left on the board heading into the second round.
While the top 32 picks always steal the headlines, Day 2 is always where teams find future stars who fell through the cracks, but still bring the talent to develop into high-impact players at the next level.
There are intriguing quarterback prospects still on the board, such as Miami's Carson Beck and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, as well as big-play receivers like Washington's Denzel Boston and Georgia's Zachariah Branch. On defense, trench warriors like Ohio State's Kayden McDonald and Texas Tech's Lee Hunter are still available, as well as both of Tennessee's talented cornerbacks in Jermod McCoy and Colton Hood.
As the dust settles from another wild first round, here's an updated look at how the second and third rounds of this year's draft could turn out:
