2026 NFL Draft Day 2: Rams Select Max Klare as Broncos Await Late Pick
The second day of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh features Rounds 2 and 3, with the Rams adding tight end Max Klare and the Broncos holding a single selection in the first three rounds
The 2026 NFL Draft continued into its second day at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as teams looked to fill roster gaps during the second and third rounds. Following the high-profile selections of the first round, Day 2 serves as a critical period for franchises to find value and developmental prospects. The atmosphere in Pittsburgh remained focused on the draft logo video boards as the league prepared for a long slate of picks before reaching certain teams' initial selections.[1][2]
With the 61st overall pick in the second round, the Los Angeles Rams selected tight end Max Klare out of Ohio State. This acquisition comes one day after the franchise addressed their long-term future by drafting an heir apparent to Matthew Stafford. By adding Klare, the Rams have expanded their roster to include six tight ends under contract for the 2026 season, providing their veteran quarterback with additional offensive options and depth at the position.[2]
The Denver Broncos faced a quieter start to the draft process, entering Day 2 with only the 62nd overall pick to show for the first three rounds. Projections suggested the team would not make its first appearance on the clock until approximately 7:20 p.m. Mile High time. While the team remained positioned late in the second round, analysts noted that the Broncos could still explore trades to move up or down the board depending on how the 30 picks preceding them unfolded.[1]
