That should put us on track to see their first pick in the draft around 7:20pm mile high time. Then again, they could trade up or trade down, so don’t bank on that projection!One thing we do know, we’ll need to wait a while. There are 30 picks to be made and once done we’ll have to wait around for the potential possibility of Denver moving back into the late third round.

Let’s get to it!2026 NFL Draft Results – Second RoundR2, Pick 33: San Francisco 49ers (via NYJ)De’Zhaun Striblin, WR, Ole MissStribling’s 6’2″ frame and contested-catch radius give Shanahan/Kubiak offense boundary X-receiver that wins outside leverage. SEC route polish translates to Niners’ timing-based concept tree — digs, deep overs, back-shoulder shots. Blocks in run game, non-negotiable in this scheme.

YAC ability through broken tackles fits wide-zone bootleg play-action. Three-down WR projection in motion-heavy offense.R2, Pick 34: Arizona CardinalsChase Bisontis, OG, Texas A&MAthletic guard profile drops into Mike LaFleur’s Shanahan-tree install — wide-zone run game demands mobile interior linemen who pull, climb to second level, and seal backside cuts. Bisontis’ SEC reps against elite 3-techs prove the anchor in pass-pro.

Justin Frye’s OL room gets a Day 1 starter with scheme-diverse tape (gap, zone, pull). Physical finisher sets tone for young offense under new staff. Ten-year interior starter ceiling.R2, Pick 35: Buffalo Bills TJ Parker, EDGE, ClemsonParker drops into Jim Leonhard’s new multiple-front defense — scheme built around five-man pressure flexibility and stand-up edge versatility.

Clemson product comes with three-year starter pedigree, bend around the arc, and counters that convert speed to power. OLB coach Bobby April III (Stanford DC background) gets pass-rush piece to develop. Attacking scheme under rookie HC Joe Brady needs juice off the edge — Parker’s first-step quickness delivers.

Rotational rusher Year 1, double-digit sack projection by 2027.R2, Pick 36: Houston Texans (via LV)Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio StateMcDonald’s 320+ frame anchors DeMeco Ryans’ aggressive front as two-gap nose or shaded 1-tech. Run-stuffer archetype frees edge rushers to hunt QB by eating double-teams interior. Ohio State produced him against Big Ten mauler guards — translates immediately.

Matt Burke’s defense rotates interior heavily; McDonald gives 30+ snaps of clog-the-middle early-down work. Short-area quickness better than listed weight suggests — flashes pass-rush push on stunts. Three-down potential by Year 2.R2, Pick 37: New York Giants Colton Hood, CB, TennesseeHood fits Dennard Wilson’s new press-man-heavy defense — scheme built on disruption at line of scrimmage and match coverage principles (inherited from Wilson’s Titans tenure).

Tennessee produced long, physical corners; Hood’s 6’1″ frame and hip fluidity check both boxes. Harbaugh’s tough-minded identity demands tackling at corner — Hood delivers in run support. Boundary starter trajectory.

Matt Nagy offense keeps defense on short fields; Hood needs to cover one-on-one, which this scheme asks of its CB2.R2, Pick 38: Las Vegas Raiders (via HOU via WAS)Treydan Stukes, CB, ArizonaStukes fits Rob Leonard’s first-year defense — promoted DC brings Miami’s attacking front principles, paired with DB coach Joe Woods’ zone-match coverage DNA (Cover-3/quarters). Stukes’ length and ball skills from Arizona project clean to off-coverage assignments where he can read-and-react rather than play sticky man. Rookie HC Kubiak inherited barren secondary; Stukes steps in as boundary corner with CB2 ceiling.

Physical press snaps when scheme dials up, off-zone default. Tackles in run support — required of Pac-12 corners playing option-heavy offenses.R2, Pick 39: Cleveland BrownsDenzel Boston, WR, WashingtonBoston’s 6’4″ frame and contested-catch profile slot perfectly into Todd Monken’s vertical passing attack — new HC brings Ravens-era shot-play DNA and Georgia’s X-receiver template (Ladd McConkey, AD Mitchell). Boundary jump-ball target that wins in red zone and on back-shoulder fades.

Play-action shot plays demand size outside to stress safeties — Boston delivers. Pac-12 press reps translate; needs route-tree expansion but catch radius gives rookie QB margin for error. Day 1 starter outside, 700-yard floor.R2, Pick 40: Kansas City ChiefsR2, Pick 41: Cincinnati BengalsR2, Pick 42: New Orleans SaintsR2, Pick 43: Miami DolphinsR2, Pick 44: New York Jets (via DAL)R2, Pick 45: Baltimore RavensR2, Pick 46: Tampa Bay BuccaneersR2, Pick 47: Indianapolis ColtsR2, Pick 48: Atlanta FalconsR2, Pick 49: Minnesota VikingsR2, Pick 50: Detroit LionsR2, Pick 51: Carolina Panthe
