The third and final day of the 2026 NFL Draft began with a name many thought would go in the first round.

Instead, Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy went No. 101 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders, as the opening pick of the fourth round on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

The Buffalo Bills owned the No. 101 selection entering the day, while the Raiders sat at No. 102. Las Vegas traded a 2027 seventh-rounder to Buffalo to move up one spot and secure McCoy.

Rated the 16th overall prospect in the draft class by Scouts Inc., McCoy’s fall was attributed to a health concern. McCoy tore his ACL and missed the 2025 college season, but while the ACL has healed, a degenerative cartilage issue was discovered in his right knee.

“All of my doctors that did my surgery told me (that) I’m good,” McCoy said, per ESPN. “But if there’s something that (the Raiders) want me to do for the longevity of my career, I’m willing to do that because I feel like they have my best interest.”

McCoy had four interceptions and nine pass breakups for Tennessee in 2024 after one year at Oregon State.

Two days after the Raiders selected Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick, they continued to make waves Saturday by sending former top-10 pick Tyree Wilson to the New Orleans Saints in order to trade up from No. 219 overall to No. 150 in the fifth round.

Wilson, the seventh overall pick in 2023, amassed 12 sacks in three seasons as a Raiders defensive end. The Raiders attempted to trade star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens earlier this offseason, but Baltimore backed out due to a failed physical as Crosby recovers from knee surgery.

At No. 150, the Raiders drafted safety Dalton Johnson from Arizona.

The quarterback class continued to prove thin, as just one signal-caller was selected in the fourth round and one went in the fifth.

The New York Jets moved up in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals to select Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik at No. 110 overall. The Bengals received the 128th overall pick in the trade, while sending New York the 199th pick in exchange for No. 140.

Klubnik, once seen as a top college quarterback, never quite realized his potential in three-plus seasons as Clemson’s starter. The 6-foot-2 prospect threw for 2,943 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions for the Tigers in 2025.

The Jets have again revamped their quarterback room but waited till the fourth round to take a flier on an incoming rookie, having opted for pass rusher David Bailey with the No. 2 overall pick. Klubnik joins a QB room featuring Geno Smith, Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe.

“I woke up this morning hoping the Jets were going to pick me,” Klubnik told reporters after the pick.

The Philadelphia Eagles used the 178th overall pick on North Dakota State quarterback Cole Payton, a former FCS national champion who’ll slot in on the depth chart behind Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee and veteran Andy Dalton.

While just six quarterbacks were drafted through five rounds, a more popular position was tight end. Seventeen were taken in Rounds 1-5, more than the 16 total drafted in 2025.

Mississippi State tight end Seydou Traore, originally from London, went to the Miami Dolphins at No. 180, the penultimate pick of the fifth round. Though not announced as part of the prospect “green room” Traore appeared on stage in Pittsburgh and was celebrated by commissioner Roger Goodell, an unusual moment for Day 3 of the draft.

The Cleveland Browns kicked off the sixth round by selecting Arkansas quarterback Talen Green with the first pick. Green will join Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel on a crowded Cleveland depth chart.

Prince Owusu scored a first-half goal on Saturday afternoon to help lead CF Montreal to a 1-0 victory over New York City FC.

Thomas Gillier made a pair of saves for Montreal (3-6-0, nine points), who won their second straight game since firing head coach Marco Donadel and hiring interim Philippe Eullaffroy on April 12. Montreal posted five shots on target to New York City’s two.

NYC FC (3-4-3, 12 points) saw their winless streak extended to six straight in MLS competition. Goalkeeper Matt Freese made four saves for the visitors, who lost despite owning possession for 64 percent of the match.

Trailing by a goal, New York City had second-half opportunities to even the score, as Maxi Moralez and Arnau Farnos’ shots missed in the 47th and 56th minutes, respectively.

NYC FC’s Tayvon Gray was sent off in the 78th minute after receiving his second yellow card.

Montreal had early chances, but Freese made three saves in the game’s first 10 minutes. Montreal broke through in the 18th minute, though, as Owusu scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season.

Matty Longstaff sent in an entry from the left of the box, before Owusu tapped in the game’s only goal past Freese.

NYC FC mustered just one shot on goal in the opening half, while Montreal tallied four before halftime.

The Eastern Conference foes will meet again on October 31 at New York.
