Overview
- Day 2 wrapped Friday with Rounds 2 and 3 complete, led off by the 49ers taking Ole Miss wideout De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 33 and the Texans selecting Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald at No. 36.
- The Browns headlined value picks by landing Washington receiver Denzel Boston at No. 39 and Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 58, then trading No. 74 to the Giants for Nos. 105 and 145 plus a 2027 fourth-rounder.
- Through 100 picks, teams tied common–draft-era marks with 17 wide receivers and nine tight ends selected, while only three running backs came off the board in that span.
- Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy slid out of the top 100 due to knee concerns after missing 2025, making him one of the most-watched names entering the final day.
- Rounds 4–7 begin Saturday at Noon ET in Pittsburgh, where faster pick clocks and a deeper pool of remaining talent, including LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, could spur more trades and targeted depth moves.
