Jermod McCoy was a top-10 prospect on talent. Entering Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, he hasn’t been picked. The Tennessee cornerback isn’t alone. Miami nickel Keionte Scott and Tennessee edge Joshua Josephs are still on the board, giving teams with Round 4 picks a shot at Day 2 talent at Day 3 prices.
PFSN’s Football Debate Club crew provides their best remaining NFL Draft prospects still available heading into Day 3.

Who Are the Best Available Players After Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft?
Jerod McCoy, CB, Tennessee | No. 14 on PFSN Big Board
Jermod McCoy was a frontrunner to challenge for the CB1 mantle in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he missed the entire 2025 season amidst his recovery from a torn ACL. At 5’11”, 193 pounds, McCoy doesn’t quite have the desired size profile. But at his size, McCoy has solid proportional length, to go along with elite explosiveness, long-strider acceleration on the attack, and hyper-elite hip fluidity, deceleration, and malleability on transitions.
He’s an instant closer off his plant-and-drive, and a fleet-footed and fluid short-area mover with easy-matching athleticism. In press, he can stay square and dictate releases with physicality, and he’s a smooth mover in zone with tremendous throttle control, vision, and reactive coil over top route breaks. All this, and McCoy’s playmaking might be his most exciting trait; he snagged four INTs in 2024.
Unfortunately, doctors believe McCoy needs an additional that’s surgery unrelated to his ACL in order to address a bone plug. This could cause him to miss the entire 2026 season and risk shortening his career, which is the cause of his draft freefall.
Keionte Scott, CB, Miami | No. 48 on PFSN Big Board
PFSN analyst Jacob Infante named Keionte Scott his favorite remaining prospect entering Day 3 “I think you’re looking at a guy who just plays like a bat out of hell. I’m genuinely surprised coming out of Round 3 that he’s still available. I mean, he’s an older prospect. Maybe that plays a role in it. Hell of a player. But I just, I don’t see what the holdup is with Scott and why nobody’s taking him here in the first 100 picks.
“I mean, you’re looking at a guy, two interceptions for Miami this past year, both of them got returned for touchdowns, 13 tackles for a loss, and 5 sacks as a defensive back. Ran a 4.33, 40-yard dash. You turn on the tape, just a relentless motor. He’s someone you see that closing speed come to fruition, the incredible downhill physicality, the ability to lower the shoulder and just pop guys as a tackler.
“I mean, his form can improve a little bit, but I like the instincts. I like the ball skills he showcases, and he has the athleticism and the creativity after he intercepts the ball to be able to make big plays, hence the 2 interceptions for touchdowns that he had in 2025, leading the FBS in that regard. I think he’s someone who, whether you have him as a safety, whether you have them as a nickel corner, is someone who plays in the box a lot as well. In the NFL, I see a future starter.
“When you have a future starter with that versatility, with that athleticism, I’m genuinely surprised he’s still available going in Round 4. So maybe there’s something that these NFL teams know that we don’t; obviously, they have access to information that we on the outside don’t necessarily always have. But to me, at least, going off the tape and the production, and the testing numbers, Scott being available this late is baffling.”
Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State | No. 49 on PFSN Big Board
Keith Abney II was one of the stars of Arizona State’s CFB Playoff run in 2024, amassing 52 tackles, three INTs, and nine PBUs in a breakout campaign. As a junior, he compounded that momentum, registering two INTs, 12 pass breakups, and an elite PFSN CB Impact score of 92.9. At around 5’11”,190 pounds, Abney is close to average size, but his most pivotal physical quality is his energized motion and foot speed, combined with his wicked play pace and mental urgency.
He doesn’t quite have elite burst or long speed, but he’s more than explosive enough, and he’s extremely fluid decelerating and redirecting overtop routes, with a sharp competitive focus and quick processing capacity that enables him to play passes with precision. Abney can work in press-man with his hyper-disciplined mirror-motor, as well as pedal, plant, and drive with efficiency in off-man and zone, and he’s unusually consistent as a tackler for his size.
Abney’s max outcome could be similar to Jaylon Johnson — a non-elite athlete and at times overlooked prospect, who went on to be a stellar pro with his quicks, fluidity, and competitive consistency.
Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee | No. 56 on PFSN Big Board
Joshua Josephs is one of the more polarizing EDGE prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. At around 6’3″, 234 pounds, Josephs is underweight, and he’ll need to add more mass at the next level. Nevertheless, he’s able to contend in run defense and stack blocks with his over-34″ arms, and he also has a great feel for acquiring leverage and loading his base.
Josephs’ high floor in run defense defies expectation, and his pass-rushing framework is theoretically sound. Josephs is explosive, agile, and fluid at his size, with a clear understanding of upper-lower synergy, timing, and precision working the arc. He keeps tackles on their toes with his unique blend of athleticism and length, and he’s a threat to generate momentum-changing plays on money downs.
That said, his pass-rush production didn’t match up with his tools in college. His PFSN EDGE Impact score in 2025 was a middling 77.7, and per TruMedia, he achieved a true dropback pressure rate of just 7.5%. Josephs doesn’t channel power consistently with his upper-tier explosiveness and length, and his suspect raw strength makes him susceptible to snatches and forceful strikes against larger opponents.
With his run defense profile, raw tools, and natural leveraging, he projects as a quality rotational presence with serviceable starting appeal in odd-front schemes, but he needs to improve his power element before he can reach his ceiling as a quality two-phase starter.
Kamari Ramsey, SAF, USC | No. 62 on PFSN Big Board
Kamari Ramsey transferred from UCLA to USC in 2024, and quickly became a “glue guy” for the Trojans’ last line of defense. Able to play safety or nickel, Ramsey’s versatility can serve as the meshing point for an NFL secondary, and he has a truly complete pallet of tools and skills across the board. With his 6’0″, 204-pound frame, he brings lightning-quick foot speed and coverage recalibration, as well as impeccable balance and fluidity on his pedal.
While fast feet can yield a lack of control for other prospects, Ramsey doesn’t fall victim to this. He’s incredibly smooth, fluid, and composed working overtop routes and managing route relationships, and his high-level football IQ assists in maintaining discipline. On the attack, Ramsey is explosive and physical, and on the vertical plane, he scarcely gets outrun.
His lacking ball production does shed light on his inconsistent catch-point precision and eye discipline, and he has room to improve as a playmaker. But overall, he’s a complete nickel prospect with actionable split-field safety versatility, who could outplay his draft capital.
Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana | No. 94 on PFSN Big Board
PFSN Football Debate Club analyst Ian Cummings named Kaleb Proctor his best remaining prospect heading into Day 3. “Kaleb Proctor, 6’3”, around 290. 33-inch arms. So, really good. Proportional length, really good, natural leverage.
“Hyper-elite testing athlete who had 9 sacks, 13 tackles for loss this past year at the FCS level. Went on to the Shrine Bowl and he stood out there. You look at the film, man, and I think it’s translatable. He’s got the elite explosion. He’s got the agility and the twitch to offset blocks and win with quick swim moves and also club rips, and at that same time, too, the flexibility, I think, is really strong with him, where he’s got the ankle flexion, he’s got the flexibility to pry through blocks, and then that explosion helps him.
“I feel like his run defense is where he stands to improve the most. Again, there are times when he can get worked upright by more powerful blockers and needs to do a better job of gap discipline, but as a pass-rushing three-tech, especially in like a one-gap, penetrating scheme, even front, odd front, where the ghost tackle, I think he’s a phenomenal upside gamble.”
