April 24 (UPI) -- Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Colton Hood and C.J. Allen are among the best college football prospects available on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The second day, which takes in the second and third rounds, will start at 7 p.m. EDT Friday in Pittsburgh. Coverage is available on NFL Network, ABC and ESPN.
McNeil-Warren, a safety from Toledo, was projected as a first-round pick in many mock drafts, but went unselected on Day 1. Hood (Tennessee) is among several talented cornerbacks available. Allen (Georgia) is among the top linebackers available.
Denzel Boston (Washington), Germie Bernard (Alabama), Antonio Williams (Clemson) and Malachi Fields (Notre Dame) are among the top wide receivers available. T.J. Parker (Clemson), Cashius Howell (Texas A&M), R Mason Thomas (Oklahoma) and Zion Young (Missouri) are among the top available edge rushers.
Defensive tackles Kayden McDonald (Ohio State), Lee Hunter (Texas Tech) and Christian Miller (Georgia), linebackers Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas) and Jacob Rodriguez (Texas Tech) and cornerbacks Avieon Terrell (Clemson), Jermod McCoy (Tennessee) and Brandon Cisse (South Carolina) also remain available.
Miami's Carson Beck, Penn State's Drew Allar and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier are the top quarterback prospects still available entering Day 2.
The New York Jets, who made an NFL-high three picks in Thursday's first round, also get the first pick of the second round. They also have No. 44 overall -- the 12th pick of the second round -- but don't have a third-round selection at this point. The Chicago Bears also have two second-round picks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers will each pick players four times on Day 2. They each have three third-round selections.
