The NFL Draft concludes in Pittsburgh with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday at noon ET/9 am PT. There are two Seattle Seahawks selections still to come, both in the sixth round after they acquired an extra pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers to close out the third round.

Day 2 produced some surprising results, most notably a high number of tight ends coming off the board, but the main story of the undrafted up to this point is Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy. He tore his ACL and missed all of 2025, but still ran 4.37 at his Pro Day. What gives? Well…

That surgery in question could be season-ending, which raises long-term questions about the health of his knee. It’s a really devastating situation for one of the top corners in college football, who’s a first-round talent now sliding down to Day 3.

Let’s take a look at the top 25 players available through Arif Hasan’s Consensus Big Board. Would you take a chance on McCoy if he somehow drops all the way to the sixth round?
