The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and it was an exciting one. There were trades galore and some shocking selections along the way. On Friday night, we get Rounds 2 and 3, which should be just as exciting and chaotic as Round 1. To get you ready for picks 33 through 100, here is ClutchPoints’ 2026 NFL Draft Day 2 Mock Draft.
Round 2

33. San Francisco 49ers — OG Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M
The 49ers could go with a wide receiver here or fill one of several light position groups on defense. However, they need a starting guard to round out their offensive line, and Chase Bisontis should be a Week 1 starter for them.
34. Arizona Cardinals — DT Kayden McDonald, Ohio State
After shocking the NFL world with running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 3, the Cardinals need to get back to the trenches with their second-round selection. With no great offensive lineman on the board, Arizona can address the defensive line and go with Kayden McDonald, a one-man run defense.
35. Buffalo Bills — LB Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech
The Bills obviously didn’t see anyone they were in love with in Round 1, and that may be true again at the top of Round 2. Don’t be surprised if Brandon Beane trades back for a fourth time. If they do pick, one player who they are rumored to be infatuated with is Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, who would be a perfect fit to run Jim Leonhard’s new defense.
36. Las Vegas Raiders — WR Denzel Boston, Washington
After you draft a franchise quarterback, it makes sense to put some weapons around them. Denzel Boston is a big, physical target and could quickly develop a rapport with Fernando Mendoza similar to the one the former Indiana QB had with Elijah Sarratt.
37. New York Giants — S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo
The only small criticism (mostly from Malik Nabers) from the Giants’ great Round 1 haul was that they passed on safety Caleb Downs. If the G-Men get Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a first-round talent, to play safety with their second-round pick, the 2026 NFL Draft becomes an even bigger home run than ot alread is.
38. Houston Texans — LB C.J. Allen, Georgia
After trading up to grab a guard, the Texans don’t really have any other desperate roster needs. They could use depth at some defensive positions, and linebacker is one of them. C.J. Allen is a player who can be part of a rotation now and become a starter and a green dot captain down the road.
39. Cleveland Browns — EDGE Zion Young, Missouri
The Browns keep making smart moves here by taking Zion Young to line up opposite Myles Garrett. Young is one of the draft process risers, and with the right situation—which this would be—the former Mizzou Tiger has all the physical tools to become a top edge rusher.
40. Kansas City Chiefs — EDGE T.J. Parker, Clemson
The Chiefs still need help along the defensive line, and after taking former Clemson DT Peter Woods, why not take his teammate, T.J. Parker? In 2024, these two were a dominant force on the D-line, and if they are once again surrounded by talent and good coaching, the pair could get back to that form.
41. Cincinnati Bengals — OG Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon
A lot is made of how bad the Bengals’ defense is, and that is true. But with Dexter Lawrence now in the mix, the Bengals can turn their attention back to offense momentarily. Protecting Joe Burrow is still priority No. 1, so getting a Week 1 starting guard in Emmanuel Pregnon makes sense.
42. New Orleans Saints — DT Christen Miller, Georgia
The Saints need to beef up the defensive line after taking Jordyn Tyson as a weapon for Tyler Shough in Round 1. Christen Miller is a big presence (literally and figuratively) in the middle of the D-line and can help replace long-time star Cameron Jordan.
43. Miami Dolphins — WR Chris Bell, Louisville
After going OL and CB in Round 1, the Dolphins need to stock their receiver room with more talent. Chris Bell is coming off an ACL injury, so Miami may need to wait a bit (which they can afford to), but he is clearly the best WR on the board at this point.
44. New York Jets — CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee
This is another wait-and-be-rewarded pick. Jermod McCoy may be the most talented corner in this draft. There are injury concerns after his own knee injury, but getting a talent like this in the middle of Round 2 after making three first-round selections is something the Jets are uniquely qualified for at that point.
45. Baltimore Ravens — WR Germie Bernard, Alabama
Germie Bernard is the type of strong, tough, jack-of-all-trades wideout that the Ravens seem to like. Next to the speed of Zay Flowers, Bernard should get plenty of chances in the short and intermediate area, which is where Lamar Jackson needs the most help right now.
46. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — LB Jake Golday, Cincinnati
With Lavonte David finally walking away after a Hall of Fame career, the Buccaneers need to find another linebacker. Jake Golday is a big LB with rare traits. He’s not in the mold of David by any means, but he can make the Bucs’ defense better for sure.
47. Indianapolis Colts — WR Chris Brazzell II, Tennessee
The Colts like speed on the outside, and with Alec Pierce on one end, having Chris Brazzell II and his blazing 4.37 40 time on the other will help Daniel Jones next season.
48. Atlanta Falcons — CB Aveion Terrell, Clemson
This is a fun one, and it makes a lot of sense. The Falcons need more help at corner, and Aveion Terrell is the best CB on the board at this point. He’s also the brother of the Falcons’ other starting corner, A.J. Terrell, which will make this a family affair.
49. Minnesota Vikings — S A.J. Haulcy, LSU
The Vikings need a safety to replace Harrison Smith, but they passed on Dillon Thieneman in Round 1. So, in Round 2, they can fill that hole with A.J. Haucy, who can be a deep or box safety, much like Smith.
50. Detroit Lions — EDGE Gabe Jacas, Illinois
Gabe Jacas is a big, physical defensive end, just like Dan Campbell and the Lions like. The team is still looking for the long-term partner for Aidan Hutchinson, and Jacas has the tools to be just that.
51. Carolina Panthers — TE Eli Stowers, Vanderbilt
Continuing to build the offense around Bryce Yong is a priority for the Panthers. They would love a WR here, but there are none worthy of a mid-second-rounder left. Eli Stowers is a nice alternative. He is the consensus TE2 of the 2026 NFL Draft and will pair nicely with Tommy Tremble and Ja’Tavion Sanders.
52. Green Bay Packers — CB Colton Hood, Tennessee
Colton Hood is another cornerback with borderline first-round talent who falls in this 2026 Day 2 NFL Mock Draft. Hood doesn’t have elite size, but he is strong and tough with good enough speed to play on the outside or in the slot for the Packers.
53. Pittsburgh Steelers — EDGE Cashius Howell, Texas A&M
The Steelers need to start preparing for life after T.J. Watt, and there are rumors that Alex Highsmith is on the trade block. It’s never too early for the Steelers to start developing their next big edge rusher, and getting Howell at this point would be a steal.
54. Philadelphia Eagles — OT Markel Bell, Miami
After going WR in Round 1, Howie Roseman has to start thinking about the future at OT in Round 2. Miami’s Markel Bell is a Howie special at 6-foot-9, 346 pounds. He can be the perfect Lane Johnson replacement next season and serve as a valuable swing tackle or even backup guard this year.
55. Los Angeles Chargers — DB Keionte Scott, Miami
Keionte Scott is small in stature, but big in toughness and heart. The Chargers will love his ability to play nickel corner or box safety. If used correctly, Scott can be an incredibly versatile weapon on defense and in the return game.
56. Jacksonville Jaguars — DT Lee Hunter, Texas A&M
With their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jaguars will help bulk up their run defense with Lee Hunter. He didn’t test well at the combine, but on tape, you can see he is a disruptive force in the middle and an excellent run-stuffer.
57. Chicago Bears — EDGE Derrick Moore, Michigan
Montez Sweat needs a running mate, and the Bears can get him at 57 by drafting Derrick Moore. The former Wolverine has the size that GM Ryan Poles and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen like. Moore can set an edge and rush the passer, which is what Allen requires.
58. San Francisco 49ers — DB Treydan Stukes, Arizona
Tredan Stukes is another versatile defensive back who mostly played corner in college but will play deep safety or big nickel in the NFL. The 49ers can use a player like that as they try to keep the defense strong after losing Robert Saleh to the Titans.
59. Houston Texans — RB Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas
This may be a bit early for Mike Washington Jr., but like the Seahawks drafting Jadarian Price in the first round, this pick makes sense because Washington is in an RB tier of his own. After this, the options get slim. The Texans will happily make this pick, though, as the former Razorback’s combination of size and elite speed can make him an RB1 to take the pressure off of C.J. Stroud.
60. Chicago Bears — DT Dominique Orange, Iowa State
Chicago stays with D-line as they take “Big Citrus,” Dominique Orange, at 60. The Iowa State nose tackle is a high-end run defender who will help tremendously on early downs. He may not have much pass rush juice, though, so the Bears may look for yet another DT later in this draft.
61. Los Angeles Rams — OT Caleb Tiernan, Northwestern
The Rams have a solid offensive line, but they’ve dealt with injuries the last few years at key spots. Caleb Tiernan can legitimately back up four positions, making him an incredibly valuable addition. He can be a starter, too, down the line, but his value now is as a fifth lineman.
62. Denver Broncos — TE Max Klare, Ohio State
Max Klare has rare athleticism for a tight end and can become a No. 1 TE target at the next level. He’s not a great run blocker but Sean Payton has other TEs for that.
63. New England Patriots — EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State
Mike Vrabel will love the size and athleticism of Dani Dennis-Sutton. The Penn State DE can set an edge and is excellent against the run. He still needs to improve as a pass rusher, but having a coach who played the position can help with that development.
64. Seattle Seahawks — CB Brandon Cisse, South Carolina
This is a pretty simple write-up here. Brandon Cisse is an incredible athlete with tons of upside, and the Seahawks need a cornerback with one of their four picks in this draft. It’s a player, position, and team that are a perfect match.
