2026 NFL Mock Draft: Surprising First-Round Picks That Could Change Every Team’s Future

2026 NFL Mock Draft: Surprising First-Round Picks That Could Change Every Team’s Future

Picks 24-26

Jermod McCoy didn’t play a snap last season due to an ACL tear, but the Tennessee product might have been the best cornerback in college football in 2024. The Browns defense is good, but it has some cornerback questions opposite Denzel Ward – and with Ward’s health – so McCoy is the pick. We mentioned Caleb Downs’ amazing numbers earlier. If we expanded the pool of players to include all safeties with at least 170 pass coverage snaps, Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren would enter the picture with a minuscule 10.9% big play allowed rate – the only safety with a better mark than Downs. For the Chicago Bears, in an NFC North with high octane offenses like the Lions and Green Bay Packers, getting defensive help is a priority. Edge T.J. Parker is the first of a Clemson contingent that in order to draft this high, you must be willing to throw out the 2025 numbers. For the Buffalo Bills, who once again just need anyone who can rush the passer, we’re willing to do that for a player who was seventh in pressures and fifth in quarterback knockdowns in 2024.
