The first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft are complete. Somehow, a cornerback experts considered a borderline top 10 pick is still available as the selections hit triple digits.Tennessee's Jermod McCoy didn't hear his name called in the first 100 picks, lingering on draft boards thanks largely to the torn ACL that robbed him of his 2025 season and now has scouts and coaches concerned about his future. From a pure talent standpoint he's the best player still available -- but that was true after Day 1, and he still languished through two more painful rounds and into the weekend.He's not the only potential difference maker available.
There's plenty of potential starters out there, from impact corners to drive-extending wideouts and running backs. Who can we expect to see in the fourth round Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh?1. CB Jermod McCoy, TennesseeWho is he?
Sticky corner who looks the part, missed 2025 due to a torn ACL, then lit up his pro day workout to remain firmly in the top 20. Clearly, teams are concerned about that knee injury, as a player with top 20 buzz has now slipped all the way to Day 3.2. CB Keionte Scott, MiamiWho is he?
Smaller corner with blazing speed and aggressive tackling instincts likely slated for the slot.3. RB Mike Washington Jr., ArkansasWho is he? Angry-running mutant with breakaway speed and a penchant for falling forward.4.
IOL Connor Lew, AuburnWho is he? Grittier than rock salt center who understands pre-snap analysis and adjusts accordingly, but is coming off a torn ACL.5. EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn StateWho is he?
Powerful, productive defensive end with solid athleticism but a tendency to lose leverage against savvy linemen.6. LB Kyle Louis, PittsburghWho is he? Absolute missile of a linebacker likely slated for a hybrid safety/slot role due to a lack of size.7.
DL Gracen Halton, OklahomaWho is he? Pass-rushing 3 technique lineman with a remarkable burst off the snap but short arms and modest counting stats.8. WR Bryce Lance North Dakota StateWho is he?
Trey's brother, a ridiculous wideout who can be an immediate downfield threat.9. CB Keith Abney II, Arizona StateWho is he? Tenacious, violent defender despite a small frame and a whole lot of penalties related to being a tenacious, violent defender.10.
IOL Sam Hecht, Kansas StateWho is he? Well-anchored, trustworthy center who thrives above what his weight suggests.11. WR Skyler Bell, ConnecticutWho is he?
Shifty run-after-catch merchant capable of pumping up a flawed quarterback with big gains.12. WR Elijah Sarratt, IndianaWho is he? Powerful receiver who can get to the ball and pick up clutch yards.13.
S Zakee Wheatley, Penn StateWho is he? Clean safety who can get downhill to stop the run or bring coverage from the slot, but lacks ideal speed.14. CB Chandler Rivers, DukeWho is he?
Smaller, but tenacious, corner who can battle from the slot and disrupt plays on a regular basis.15. CB Ephesians Prysock, WashingtonWho is he? Long-armed, big-framed corner with tons of experience who has some flaws in man coverage but should be an immediate boost in zone schemes.16.
TE Justin Joly, North Carolina StateWho is he? Receiving tight end with a history of solid college production who'll bring average size to the position on Sundays.17. RB Eli Heidenreich, NavyWho is he? Ridiculous athlete who should be able to handle multiple roles within an NFL offense.This article originally appeared on For The Win: Best players available at the 2026 NFL Draft, led by Jermod McCoy
