Raiders End Jermod McCoy's Slide on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft

Medical concerns over a balky knee pushed the Tennessee cornerback into Saturday before Las Vegas grabbed the former projected top‑10 pick.

Overview

  • The Raiders selected Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy early in Round 4 on Saturday, stopping a rare Day 3 fall that teams tied to knee issues, according to CBS Sports.
  • Las Vegas set the draft’s tone on Thursday by taking Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick.
  • Washington chose Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 7, part of a surge that saw four Buckeyes go inside the first 11 selections.
  • The Texans traded up to No. 36 to land Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald, adding strength to the middle of a defense that already excelled on the edge.
  • The Browns executed three Day 2 trade‑ups, selecting wide receiver Denzel Boston at No. 39, safety Emmanuel McNeil‑Warren at No. 58, and offensive tackle Austin Barber at No. 86.
