Predicting which Florida Gators are picked on Day 2 of 2026 NFL Draft
Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft features rounds two and three on Friday night. Which former Florida Gators will be taken?
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and so far, one former Florida football player has been taken: defensive lineman Caleb Banks , who was taken with the 18th pick by the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. On Friday night, rounds two and three will take place in Pittsburgh, and the Gator Nation hopes to see more UF alumni chosen by professional franchises. Heading into the event, a total of eight members of the Orange and Blue were expected to be picked among the 257 selections; with one down, that means there are probably seven more to go.
So the question heading into Day 2 of the draft is, "Who are the next Gators to hear their name called? " We took a look at mocks from four major publications — ESPN , Sports Illustrated , CBS Sports and The Athletic — to get an idea of which former Florida players will be taken on Friday. Three players appeared among those four sources: cornerback Devin Moore, center Jake Slaughter and offensive tackle Austin Barber.
