With the 58th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (6-foot-3 and 203 pounds) from Toledo. The Browns traded up in the second round to grab McNeil-Warren after he had fallen a bit, with his name being one of the most-touted heading into Day 2. Cleveland gave up No. 70 overall in a trade, but will still have another third round pick today at No. 74.

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren Scouting Report

Here is a scouting report from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, who had McNeil-Warren as the 3rd-ranked safety prospect on his board in this year’s draft class:

A three-year starter at Toledo, McNeil-Warren lined up as a boundary safety in former defensive coordinator Vince Kehres’ scheme (rotated to nickel and deep half during tempo). With five draft picks on defense over the past four years, former Toledo head coach (and current UConn head coach) Jason Candle developed a reputation for finding and developing talent with the Rockets — and McNeil-Warren is next up in the pipeline. He turned down transfer opportunities, and his trust in the Toledo staff paid off in his development over the past four years.
