Giants trade back into the third round to snag tall WR Malachi Fields at No. 74

New York traded back into the third round to select wide receiver Malachi Fields with the 74th overall pick, adding a big-bodied target (6-4½, 218 pounds) whose size and catch radius fit the Giants’ goal of diversifying and strengthening the WR corps. Fields’ physical profile and athleticism were cited as valuable attributes as the team prioritized adding a receiver, following earlier links to other WR options and ongoing roster questions.

49ers land playmaking WR and two one-cut backs in 2026 draft

The San Francisco 49ers used the No. 33 pick to select Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling, a speed-and-YAC specialist viewed as a fit for Kyle Shanahan who can boost the offense with after-the-catch yards and blocking; they followed with third-round selections of RB Romello Height and RB Kaelon Black, two one-cut runners whose age and scheme fit drew mixed reviews but who reinforce San Francisco’s plan to diversify the backfield behind Christian McCaffrey.

Steelers Plot Day 2 Upgrades: QB, OL and a WR in Latest Mock Drafts

Philly snagged Makai Lemon in the first round, prompting the Steelers to take Max Iheanachor, and now ESPN's Matt Miller and The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner lay out four Day 2 targets for Pittsburgh (Nos. 53, 76, 85, 99). Miller projects LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier at 53, Iowa OL Gennings Dunker at 76, South Carolina S Jalon Kilgore at 85, and Georgia WR Zachariah Branch at 99, creating a QB-OL-S, and WR mix with Branch considered a game-breaker but with off-field questions. Baumgardner's mock has LSU S A.J. Haulcy at 53, Texas A&M DL Tyler Onyedim at 76, Kentucky OL Jalen Farmer at 85, and North Dakota State QB Cole Payton at 99, which critics say neglects WR depth. The piece notes Branch’s arrest risk and Steelers’ ongoing need for a playmaking receiver, as Pittsburgh prepares for a four-pick Friday.

Patriots shore up long-term tackle plan with Caleb Lomu behind Will Campbell

New England moved up to draft Caleb Lomu at 28, aiming to build a long-term tackle duo while keeping Will Campbell as the left tackle this season and Morgan Moses as the current right tackle. Lomu projects as a flexible blocker who could back up Campbell and Moses in 2026 and potentially take over at right tackle in 2027, with a depth chart that also includes James Hudson III, Marcus Bryant, and Ben Brown among others. The move signals a youth-forward shift for the line, addressing aging depth and long-term stability as Campbell develops and Moses nears 35.
