The first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft are complete and yet less than half of the total selections have been made. The majority of the legwork will occur Saturday, beginning with the fourth round. There are some notable prospects still available for a variety of reasons, including Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy.
There were several prospects taken in last year's fourth round who were contributors: Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike, Giants running back Cam Skattebo, Patriots safety Craig Woodson, Bills defensive tackle Deone Walker and others. Who will be this year's Day 3 steal?
Without further ado, let's kick this off!

NFL Mock Draft
Round 4
Round 4 - Pick 101
Buffalo adds a tough linebacker to Jim Leonhard's defense.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 102
The Raiders continue building out the offensive line in support of first overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 103
The Jets fill the void created by Alijah Vera-Tucker's departure in free agency.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 104
Arizona had a need along the offensive line and will now have thrown multiple resources in that direction.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 105
McCoy is a top-10 overall prospect in this class if he has a clean bill of health, but that is obviously not the case. His fall is reminiscent of Will Johnson's last year, but he will be a high-impact performer even if only for a shorter period.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 106
Lew is the top center is the draft class when totally healthy, but is returning from a torn ACL.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 107
Brian Parker brings athleticism and versatility to Kyle Shanahan's offense.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 108
Although listed as a linebacker, Kyle Louis is a versatile talent on defense.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 109
Trey Lance's younger brother is both tall and athletic. Could he develop into a reliable outlet for Patrick Mahomes?
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 110
The Bengals continue throwing resources at the defense.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 112
Dallas continues filling needs on a defense that looks entirely transformed from where it had been Thursday morning.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 113
There is a lot to like about Dani Dennis-Sutton. He has the ideal size for an NFL rusher, good collegiate production, and high-level, verified athletic testing. He is a quality piece to this pass-rush operation.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 114
The defensive investment continues for Dallas. They acquired Dee Winters via trade but add competition.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 115
Washington is a bigger body who does not sacrifice explosion. He brings a bit of thunder and thunder dynamic with Derrick Henry, but is the eventual replacement for the legendary runner.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 116
Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson comes from a Rams offense who uses a lot of two and three tight end sets. Justin Joly is a move option that can create plays in space.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 117
Houston rewarded pass rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter this offseason, then drafted Kayden McDonald and, in this scenario, Joshua Josephs.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 118
Detroit adds a tall cornerback for competition.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 119
Safety is a need that had been associated with Carolina in the first round, but the Panthers circle back after addressing other needs.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 121
Pittsburgh had a ton of picks and is just building out depth on the roster.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 122
Kaleb McGary retired this offseason and the team signed Jawaan Taylor, but competition is welcome.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 123
Los Angeles drafted a center and signed Tyler Biadasz, but offensive guard remains a need.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 124
Jacksonville is making the most of its draft that does not feature a first-round pick.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 125
Although later than anticipated, Buffalo finally addresses the loss of David Edwards in this draft.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 126
Buffalo adds another body to its growing receiver room.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 127
Drew Shelton provides depth in an integral role for San Francisco.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 128
Why not take a chance on Garrett Nussmeier at this stage of the draft? Even if he is not the starter, a quality backup is important to whoever is drafted next year.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 129
Nick Barrett is a professional who holds up well at the point of attack. Chicago gets a personal favorite in the fourth round.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 130
Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips are no longer in Miami, so LT Overton is the complement to Chop Robinson.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 131
Los Ángeles needs a youthful infusion at safety to go along with the versatile Derwin James.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 132
The Saints add a big body to a young cornerback room.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 133
Deion Burks has a knack for creating missed tackles in open space. Kyle Shanahan will have no problem deploying him.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 134
The Fernando Mendoza to Elijah Sarratt connection is renewed in Las Vegas.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 135
Indianapolis has hit gold with a tall, fast wide receiver from Cincinnati once. Perhaps lightning can strike twice.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 136
The Saints add a tough nickel to the room.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 137
Dallas adds a nickel back to their overhauled defense.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 138
Miami had a lot of needs to fill and players taken at this stage will have an opportunity to see the field early.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 139
Bryce Boettcher is a rangy linebacker who plays with his hair on fire. He has the high neck roll, old school aesthetic.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 140
The Jets add more competition at the linebacker position.
