What happened: Adam Schefter reports the Bengals, Bills, Broncos, Colts, Falcons, Jaguars, Packers and 49ers will make their first selections of the 2026 NFL Draft during Rounds 2 and 3 tonight. These teams had no picks on Day 1. This follows first-round action including the Raiders taking Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall.

Why it matters: Late picks give these teams chances to grab top talent addressing offseason needs after free agency moves. The Broncos, who signed Bengals S Tycen Anderson earlier, exemplify roster building tying into draft strategy.

By the numbers: Teams' first picks (partial positions from reports): • 49ers: #33 • Bills: #35 • Bengals: #41 • Colts: #47 • Falcons: #48

What to watch: Watch Rounds 2-3 tonight for trades, selections and reactions from these teams.
