We’ve got a lot of intrigue to unpack here in this second round. The Miami Dolphins start off the drama with a quarterback selection at #36 overall. You can “Insert QB Here” but I wonder if the Dolphins will be a player in the offseason at the QB position if Tua Tagovailoa becomes a potential trade candidate. A new GM and possibly a new head coach will want a fresh start at QB, and a 2nd-round dart throw could bridge the gap for a year.
The Atlanta Falcons make their first pick as well by taking Penn State cornerback AJ Harris, who is considered one of the top corners in this class. He’d be a steal in the middle of the second.
The Jaguars also made their first pick here (Travis Hunter trade) and get arguably the TE2 of the entire class. Max Klare can catch, he can block, and he can play immediately. Jacksonville has been rumored to be interested in upgrading tight end at the trade deadline, and I also can’t shake the idea that they’ll try to recoup that 1st-round pick by maybe trading Brian Thomas Jr. in the offseason.
The Green Bay Packers are the last team to make a first selection in this 2026 NFL mock draft, and the target position is obvious: Cornerback. The Packers need help in the secondary, and honestly, that would sort of complete their roster. DJ McKinney has size, length, and ball skills the Packers covet.
