We are on to the second night of the 2026 NFL Draft.
32 selections have already been made, starting with Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders and building to Jadarian Price at No. 32 to the Seattle Seahawks. But while we have grades on each of those selections already, the teams are still working towards a final report card.

With a lot of picks left to be made, and some roster spots to fill out.
Round 2 begins with the San Francisco 49ers on the clock, and if you are interested we have a mock draft for the second round that you can peruse here. But if you are just curious to see how we feel about each pick on Day 2, you can check back after the picks start rolling in shortly after 7:oo p.m. Eastern.
Unlike the first round, where process plays a bigger role, here we are looking more at the players themselves, scheme fits, and more.
33. San Francisco 49ers — De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
I don’t really know what to say here, because this selection is absolutely mystifying with the board that was in in place. Stribling didn’t make our Top 100 list, was 85th on the consensus big board. Even if the 49ers really loved Stribling there is no way they needed to take him at No. 33. There’s been some talk he was a late riser, but goodness this is a choice with Denzel Boston on the board. — JD

Grade: C-
34. Arizona Cardinals — Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M
Absolutely love this pick for the Cardinals, and somehow like it even more after the Jeremiyah Love pick a day ago. Predominantly a pass-blocking left guard, he’s likely not going to be a road grader at right — but he has a lot of athleticism with the ability to get into the second level and block downfield. This team needs some more hogs on the line, but for value and need, this was a great pick. Small knock just because his run blocking is a little suspect. — JD
Grade: B+
35. Buffalo Bills — T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson
The Bills traded down to get into this spot, and they get a really intriguing player. The speed is there, the athleticism is there, the strength is there — but this was a horrible season for Parker, along with all the Clemson players in 2025. It was simply a case of Parker not performing up to his ability, and showing lapses in effort on film. In very early mocks last year he was getting Top 10 buzz, and unquestionably has that potential. It’s simply about unlocking it all, and I think there’s a chance Parker could become a force in a disciplined, tutorial setting. — JD

Grade: B+
36. Houston Texans (via trade from Raiders) — Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
The best pure run-stopping defensive tackle in this class, I think McDonald has unfairly gotten lost in the shuffle and overanalyzed. In many ways he’s a bit of a throwback tackle, eating space and containing the line without a lot of upfield penetration — but that is totally fine in Houston with the pass rushers they have to dominate in the backfield. Really like this fit, and think the Texans got value on this pick with a guy who could have gone 10 picks earlier. — JD
