Keytron Jordan, CBS Sports Design The NFL has already seen 32 picks come down the wire during the first round of the draft on Thursday. Now, it's time for even more action to unfold as Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off from Pittsburgh on Friday night.
Over the course of the opening round, trades were the major storyline as eight deals went down over the course of the evening. As we transition to Day 2, the wheeling and dealing is expected to continue, if not amplify, as this area has been circled as the true meat of this year's draft.
The second round will also see over a handful of teams finally enter the fray, as there were eight clubs that did not make a first-round selection on Thursday. That includes the San Francisco 49ers, who are slated to pick first at No. 33 overall.
