Selections 16-20 sees two cornerbacks come off the board.  With their second first-round pick acquired in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts for Sauce Gardner, the Jets look to replace his talent with LSU’s Mansoor Delane who has surged as one of the top cornerbacks in the 2026 NFL Draft.  The Vikings, who just miss out on Delane, add to their secondary with Clemson’s Avieon Terrell.  The Cowboys also address their defensive backfield by reaching a big for Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman to fulfill their safety needs.

No. 16: New York Jets via Indianapolis Colts – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

No. 17: Detroit Lions – Kayden McDonald, DL, Ohio State

No. 18: Minnesota Vikings– Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

No. 19: Carolina Panthers– Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

No. 20: Dallas Cowboys via Green Bay – Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
