After a strong Day 2 in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Browns are lauded for upgrading the offense and offensive line, adding WR depth and Austin Barber, while Denzel Boston and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren are highlighted as impact picks; Cleveland became the first team to draft four players listed in the Consensus Top 32 in the last nine drafts, a feat noted by Mel Kiper Jr. and SB Nation, suggesting a promising, though unproven, trajectory under GM Andrew Berry and coach Todd Monken.
The Steelers used Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft to widen their weaponry and depth, trading up to select Alabama WR Germie Bernard at 47 after the first round, then adding Penn State QB Drew Allar (76), Georgia CB Daylen Everette (85) and Iowa Gennings Dunker (96) to address receiver, quarterback development, cornerback and guard needs alongside first-round OT Max Iheanachor; Bernard provides a top target, Allar offers a tall, athletic arm, Everette adds outside versatility, and Dunker adds interior line help as the class heads to Day 3 with five picks remaining.
Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft highlighted big gaps between consensus rankings and team valuations on PFF’s Big Board, with several players landing as steals (Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, CJ Allen, Avieon Terrell, Cashius Howell, Brandon Cisse) and others as notable reaches (Nate Boerkircher, De’Zhaun Stribling, Marlin Klein, Bud Clark, Logan Jones). A marquee moment was Stribling’s No. 33 selection despite ranking 112, illustrating how teams push players up boards when value aligns with scheme needs.
With 11 picks, the Steelers are positioned to influence Day 2 of the NFL Draft and are reportedly among teams ready to move up in the second round, as Browns, Saints, and Dolphins also look to climb; potential targets include WRs Denzel Boston, Germie Bernard, and Zachariah Branch, though Pittsburgh could also address left guard Chase Bisontis or ILB/CB/DT options if BPA; several teams (49ers, Cardinals, Bills) are reportedly open to back moves, and Pittsburgh's No. 53 pick would cost roughly a third-rounder, with Omar Khan having moved up once before in 2023—so a push early on Day 2 is likely.
After trading up for Makai Lemon, the Eagles enter Day 2 with three picks and a slate of mock targets: TJ Parker (edge) at 54, Kamari Ramsey (safety) at 68, and Brian Parker II (OT) at 98 are among frequent suggestions, with other mocks proposing Caleb Tiernan, Oscar Delp, and Jalen Farmer as potential fits. The discussion centers on upgrading edge depth, safety, and the interior line, and whether Howie Roseman will move up or down to optimize Day-2 selections.
Four Day-2 mock drafts map different routes for the Green Bay Packers to address major roster gaps (nose tackle, edge/CB, running back, receiver, and offensive-line depth) in the 2026 NFL Draft, with targets such as Gabe Jacas and Daylen Everette; Lee Hunter and Mike Washington Jr.; Davison Igbinosun and De’Zhaun Stribling (plus a trade); and Caleb Tiernan and Chris McClellan.
On Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, the 49ers traded picks 58 and 152 to the Browns for 70 and 107, moving San Francisco down 12 spots in the second round while adding a fourth-round selection; pick 152 had earlier come from Dallas in the Dee Winters trade, leaving SF with pick 70 in the third round and an extra fourth-rounder as the draft continues.
Detroit has a single Day 2 selection (No. 50) in the 2026 NFL Draft. If they stay put, history suggests their pick should be announced around 8:25–8:35 PM ET on Friday. A move up for an additional third-round pick could push the selection later into the night (potentially past 11 PM ET), but without a trade Detroit would be idle for most of Day 2.
With Makai Lemon off the board, the Steelers are weighing an aggressive Day-2 move to trade up for a wide receiver, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Pittsburgh could target remaining WRs such as Denzel Boston or Germie Bernard, using picks No. 76, 85 and 99 to climb. The team also needs a left guard, and first-rounder Max Iheanachor will play tackle. Boston and Bernard were visited by Pittsburgh, and the club is aiming to add an immediate contributor at receiver to pair with Iheanachor for the long term.
San Francisco is evaluating a crowded Day-2 WR class, highlighting big-handed, athletic options like Chris Bell, Denzel Boston, De’Zhaun Stribling, Germie Bernard, Malachi Fields, and Ted Hurst. Using NFL IQ comparisons to project ceilings and fit in a Shanahan offense, the piece stresses hands, route ability, blocking, and red-zone potential as key traits in separating pro-ready receivers from prospects.
Detroit, after drafting Blake Miller on Day 1, looks to Day 2 (No. 50) for defensive depth with ten top prospects—Keionte Scott, Zion Young, D'Angelo Ponds, Treydan Stukes, Gabe Jacas, Keith Abney, Jake Golday, Christen Miller, Jaishawn Barham, and Kyle Louis—covering nickel-ready corners, edge rush versatility, and flexible linebacker/defensive back roles to bolster Kelvin Sheppard's unit ahead of a lengthy Day 3 wait.
New England traded up to grab Caleb Lomu in the first round (No. 28) and will enter Day 2 with two picks in rounds 2 and 3. The article maps the top remaining players across positions (WR, TE, OL, DL, EDGE, LB, CB, S) using Pats Pulpit and Arif Hasan’s Consensus Big Board, highlighting potential targets like Denzel Boston, Eli Stowers, Emmanuel Pregnon, Kayden McDonald, and Jermod McCoy as the Patriots pursue depth and fit for their needs.
With three Day 2 picks (Nos. 49, 82, and 97), Minnesota's plan centers on upgrading safety, cornerback, wide receiver, and running back. At 49 the Vikings could target a corner or big-bodied receiver (with Denzel Boston and Chris Brazzell II among likely WR targets) or a safety; remaining corners such as McCoy, Terrell, Hood, and Ponds, and safeties like Stukes and McNeil-Warren, are in play. The 82 and 97 slots are viewed as prime for RB depth or another big WR, with Emmett Johnson, De’Zhaun Stribling, Bryce Lance, and Ted Hurst among options, plus safeties Bud Clark, Kilgore, and Wheatley and corners Davison Igbinosun, Malik Muhammad, Will Lee III, and Abney II also on the board. A late TE like Oscar Delp could surface if value falls; and McShay notes Day 2 RBs may be limited.
