Browns Draft 2026, Day 2

So of the players who were possibilities for me on Day 1, Denzel Boston & Jermod McCoy are still on the board. Day 2 prospects that I had flagged as potential choices for the 2nd or 3rd rounds who went in the first are Max Iheanachor OT ASU, and Keylan Rutledge G Georgia Tech, so they are off the board.

Round 2, pick #39 

Jermod McCoy CB Tennessee

is my first choice at 39. He's a holdover from my Day 1 selections/possibilities, so you can read what I said about him there. He is very unlikely to be available at 39.

Anthony Hill Jr LB Texas

is my 2nd choice at 39. An athletic linebacker who can play the Will or the Mike. Gets to the QB, while also having the range to track down opponents from sideline to sideline. Pro Bowl potential at the next level. With JOK likely done, This pick solidifies the 2nd level of the defense.

Chris Bell WR Louisville 

is my 3rd choice at 39. Bell was injured last year and missed much of the season. He's a large receiver with speed, excellent acceleration, and excellent hands. Reminding of Josh Gordon a bit, he's probably a boom or bust guy, but if he hits, he could be great.

Chris Brazzell WR Tennessee 

is my 4th choice at 39. Another receiver with ideal size, he can stretch the field, has good hands, and can separate. Would be a good addition to an undersized receiver room.

Emmanuel Pregnon G Oregon 

is my 5th choice at 39. Highly regarded Guard prospect who would start as a depth piece, and hopefully develop into a quality starter. He may not be available at 39.

Chase Bisontis OT Texas A&M What I said about Pregnon also applies to Bisontis. 


Round 3, pick #70 


Mike Washington Jr RB Arkansas  

is my first choice at 70. Quality RB depth with size, speed, quickness, vision, and athleticism to be an eventual high end starter. He may not be available at 70, and is very likely to be a very good running back at the next level.

Gennings Dunker OT Iowa 

is my 2nd choice at 70. A mauler with tons of attitude and aggression, he's a better run blocker than pass blocker, but could develop into a starting OT. At a minimum, excellent depth.
 
Antonio Williams WR Clemson 

is my 3rd choice at 70. A pure slot receiver, he is an excellent route runner with good hands. A bit sneaky, because his athleticism doesn't jump off the screen at you, but one of those solid, steady technicians who move the chains, and is likely to be a major contributor to an NFL Offense.

Connor Lew C Auburn

is my 4th choice at 70. It doesn't appear that Luke Wypler is in the Browns long-term plans, but depth at the position is still needed. Lew won't make any Pro Bowls, but is someone who can contribute as a depth piece. 

Ted Hurst WR GA St 

is my 5th choice at 70. Small school wideout with nice size and athleticism. A depth piece that should contribute.

Round 3, pick 74

I wouldn't have made the trade in which we acquired this pick, so I'm not going to make a pick here, but there will be "left-overs" from earlier picks that will give an indication of which way I would go.
