Here's the complete list. 2026 NFL DRAFT HQ:Live tracker | Pick-by-pick grades | SN's Day 2 mock draftBest players still available in NFL DraftThe rankings below reflect the original positions on Sporting News' top 257 big board. All analysis is from SN's Vinnie Iyer.13. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (6-1, 188 pounds)McCoy is capable of moving around well to handle all types of receivers in coverage with his size and instincts.

He also has a strong nose for making big plays on the ball.16. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson (5-11, 186 pounds)Terrell is the younger brother of fellow Clemson star A.J., a top starter for the Falcons. Avieon plays very physically for his size to help his coverage.

That also makes him a rare back-end run-stopping force.22. Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M (6-3, 253 pounds)Howell is a fluid athlete who uses all of his speed and quickness for his effective wide pass-rush repertoire and can have an immediate situational impact.26. Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State (6-3, 326 pounds)McDonald is powerful and relentless working upfield against the run and has stood out more of late for his inside pass-rush juice.27.

T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson (6-4, 265 pounds)Parker is an instinctual, quick and highly productive pass rusher who is also a major asset against the run.31. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo (6-4, 201 pounds)McNeil-Warren blows up run plays like a linebacker and is getting more attention for his coverage playmaking upside.

Rick Osentoski 32. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington (6-4, 212 pounds)Boston is a big and strong physical receiving threat who can stretch the field and also has the fight and toughness to win on contested catches.35. Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech (6-4, 318 pounds)Hunter should continue to be very productive as a complementary run stopper after starring in that capacity for the Red Raiders.NFL DRAFT RANKINGS 2026:QBs | WRs | TEs | EDGE | RBs36.

Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee (6-0, 193 pounds)Hood has a good blend of toughness, physicality and speed to make a lot of plays in man coverage, but he needs to be more consistent overall in his technique.37. Christen Miller, DT, Georgia (6-4, 321 pounds)Miller is best suited for 3-4 or 4-3 work up front because of his natural run-stopping frame, but he also has the quickness to quickly develop as an inside pass rusher.38. C.J.

Allen, LB, Georgia (6-1, 230 pounds)Allen is a classic Bulldogs linebacker with his speed, playmaking instincts, off-the-charts intangibles and sound, physical tackling.39. Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina (6-0, 189 pounds)Cisse covers a lot of ground vs. the run, including using his size well to burst into his coverage assignments, but he likely would fit best early, covering the big slot.41. Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State (5-10, 187 pounds)Abney will have great value as a versatile corner who can handle any type of coverage assignment, outside or inside, solid vs. spectacular.42.

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville (6-2, 222 pounds)Bell is impressing with his uncanny strength and toughness to win as a physical route runner to overpower a lot of smaller or same-sized corners.43. Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas (6-2, 238 pounds)Hill is the classic active all-around linebacker with his ability to stop the run, make plays in coverage and get to the quarterback on blitzes.44. Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama (6-1, 206 pounds)Bernard is a straight-up inside-outside offensive weapon who gets open well to make big plays with quickness and suddenness in the open field.46.

Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri (6-6, 262 pounds)Young is a strong-effort pass rusher who can be productive situationally until he rounds out his technique and is more consistent with his burst.47. Chase Bisontis, G/C, Texas A&M (6-5, 315 pounds)Bisontis looks every bit the part of a long-term physical inside run blocker.48. R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma (6-2, 241 pounds)Thomas is a natural explosive pass rusher with high upside but will need to work on being less situational by improving technique and run defense.50. D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana (5-9, 182 pounds)Ponds
