2026 NFL Draft - Day 2 Grades

 

Round 2

 

Pick 33 – San Francisco 49ers from New York (A): De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss – Grade: C+

Pick 34 – Arizona Cardinals: Chas Bisontis, G, Texas A&M – Grade: A+

Pick 35 – Buffalo Bills from Tennessee: T.J. Parker, Edge, Clemson – Grade: B

 

Trade: Houston gets 36 & 117, Las Vegas gets 38 & 91 – Grade: HOU-B-/LVR-D+

 

Pick 36 – Houston Texans from Las Vegas: Kayden McDonald, INT, Ohio State – Grade: A+

Pick 37 – New York Giants: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee – Grade: A+

Pick 38 – Las Vegas Raiders from Houston from Washington: Treydan Stukes, CB, Arizona – Grade: B-

Pick 39 – Cleveland Browns: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington – Grade: A

Pick 40 – Kansas City Chiefs: R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma – Grade: A+

Pick 41 – Cincinnati Bengals: Cashius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M – Grade: A

Pick 42 – New Orleans Saints: Christen Miller, INT, Georgia – Grade: A-

Pick 43 – Miami Dolphins: Jacob Rodriguez, OBLB, Texas Tech – Grade: A+

 

What a great stretch here with my 12^th, 21^st, 32^nd, and 8^th players on my board taken. Houston gets stout in the middle, Cleveland continues to bolster a poor passing attack, KC gets an explosive edge and Miami continues to add talent across the board.

 

Trade: Detroit gets 44, New York (A) gets 50 & 128 – Grade: DET-C/NYJ-C

 

Pick 44 – Detroit Lions from New York (A) from Dallas: Derrick Moore, Edge, Michigan – Grade: D+

Pick 45 – Baltimore Ravens: Zion Young, Edge, Missouri – Grade: A

Pick 46 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josiah Trotter, OBLB, Missouri – Grade: B-

 

Trade: Pittsburgh gets 47 & 249, Indianapolis gets 53, 135 & 237 – Grade: PIT-C/IND-C

 

Pick 47 – Pittsburgh Steelers from Indianapolis: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama – Grade: A

Pick 48 – Atlanta Falcons: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson – Grade: A

 

Trade: Carolina gets 49 & 196, Minnesota gets 51 & 159 – Grade: CAR-B-/MIN-D+

 

Pick 49 – Carolina Panthers from Minnesota: Lee Hunter, INT, Texas Tech – Grade: A-

Pick 50 – New York Jets from Detroit: D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana – Grade: A+

Pick 51 – Minnesota Vikings from Carolina: Jake Golday, OBLB, Cincinnati – Grade: A

Pick 52 – Green Bay Packers: Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina – Grade: A+

Pick 53 – Indianapolis Colts from Pittsburgh: CJ Allen, OBLB, Georgia – Grade: A-

Pick 54 – Philadelphia Eagles: Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt – Grade: A+

 

Another great set, the Jets get a clone of their head coach, the Packers add talent to an underwhelming defensive back group, and Philly adds a very explosive tight end to a passing game that is going to change quite a bit this season.

 

Trade: New England gets 55, Los Angeles (A) gets 63, 131 & 202 – Grade: NE-D+/LAC-B-

 

Pick 55 – New England from Los Angeles (A): Gabe Jacas, Edge, Illinois – Grade: B+

Trade: Cleveland gets 58 & 152, San Francisco gets 70 & 107 – Grade: CLE-B-/SF-D+

Trade: Buffalo gets 62, DEN gets 69 & 144 – Grade: BUF-B-/DEN-D+

 

Pick 62 – Buffalo Bills from Denver: Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State – Grade: A

Pick 63 – Los Angeles Chargers from New England: Jake Slaughter, C, Florida – Grade: B+

Pick 64 – Seattle Seahawks: Bud Clark, S, TCU – Grade: B
