Welcome to Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft!
The Denver Broncos start the day with just a single pick in the first three rounds. That pick being the 62nd pick in the late second round. That should put us on track to see their first pick in the draft around 7:20pm mile high time. Then again, they could trade up or trade down, so don’t bank on that projection!
One thing we do know, we’ll need to wait a while.

Sometimes a pick just feels right, and that’s what happened on Friday when the Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell. Not only did it meet a major need for the Falcons, not only was Avieon a steal at the spot he was taken — but the first hug he was able to give after hearing his name called was to his brother, and now teammate A.J. Terrell.

It’s a family affair for the Terrell brothers in ATL ❤️

After one season at Duke, Cameron Boozer has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft. He made the announcement on his Instagram account on Friday.
“Thank you for everything @dukeuniversity,” Boozer wrote on the post. “Duke Blue forever 💙💙”
Boozer averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.4 steals in 38 games for the Blue Devils this past season. He also shot 39% on 138 3-point attempts. That performance earned him the men’s Naismith Player of the Year award, in addition to consensus first-team All-American honors.

For the fifth time in his six drafts as Detroit Lions general manager, Brad Holmes has made a trade in the second round.
With their offensive line set, the Detroit Lions opened Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft by focusing on defense, selecting Michigan defensive end Derrick Moore with the 44th overall pick of the draft in the second round.
The Lions moved up six spots in the 2026 NFL draft Friday, April 24, sending their second-round pick – No. 50 overall – as well as Pick No. 128 to the New York Jets for Pick No. 44.

The NFL draft is here, with the teams making their choices over the course of three days, starting on Thursday night with the first round, Friday with rounds two and three, and Saturday concluding the event with the final four rounds.
Notre Dame is expected to have more than a few of its now former players hearing their names called, as this past season had players declare early and more exhausting their eligibility.

The Lions have moved up six positions in the second round to select a player who might be familiar to plenty of their fans.
With the No. 44 overall pick, Detroit has selected Michigan defensive end Derrick Moore.
Moore played 53 games for the Wolverines with 24 starts over the last two seasons. He was a first-team All-Big Ten honoree in 2025, finishing the season with 30 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, and three passes defended.
He tallied 24.5 tackles for loss and 21 sacks in his collegiate career.

The Cowboys added two players to their defense in the first round of the draft and they picked up a veteran on that side of the ball on Friday night.
According to multiple reports, they have agreed to a trade that will bring linebacker Dee Winters to Dallas. The 49ers will receive the 152nd pick in the draft in return for Winters.
Winters was a 2023 sixth-round pick by the Niners and he started all 17 games for the team last season. He had 101 tackles and returned his only interception of the season for a 74-yard touchdown.

ATLANTA (AP) — Nickeil Alexander-Walker was voted the NBA’s 2026 Most Improved Player on Friday, beating out finalists Deni Avdija and Jalen Duren to become the second Hawks player to win the award in two years.
It was, by far, the best statistical season of Alexander-Walker’s career after Dyson Daniels won the trophy last season.
“Going into the summer I was kind of nervous because I was getting a lot of love from the Hawks organization,” Alexander-Walker said.
He scored a career-best 20.8 points per game, more than doubling his average from his first six pro seasons.

HOUSTON — All-Star forward Kevin Durant sat out Friday’s Game 3 versus the Los Angeles Lakers with a sprained left ankle, which he suffered late in the previous game.
Ime Udoka, head coach of the Rockets, said pregame that Durant’s ankle had experienced swelling and was still tender, as of earlier in the day.
Durant was questionable for the first two games of the first-round series with a right knee contusion, sitting out Game 1 before playing in Game 2. The latest injury is to his other leg.
