Day 2 Draft Surprises: Steals and Reaches Shape the 2026 NFL Draft
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.
