Summary
There’s not a lot of holes to poke in McNeil-Warren’s tape from this past season other than his competition level and generally limited role compared to what some safeties are asked to do in the NFL. As an around-the-line-of-scrimmage kind of safety, McNeil-Warren can be special. He’s great in man against tight ends, he can thrive in underneath zone coverage and he’s a thumper vs. the run. He won’t be for everyone, but in that kind of role, he’ll thrive.

Browns' Emmanuel McNeil-Warren: Chosen by Browns
The Browns selected McNeil-Warren in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 58th overall.
McNeil-Warren (6-foot-4, 201 pounds) was commonly projected to come off the board notably earlier than the late second round, and Cleveland ultimately decided it worth trading up with the 49ers in order to end his slide. A three-year starter at Toledo with the combination of size and athleticism to succeed at the NFL level, McNeil-Warren's landing spot with the Browns will make him the top safety off the bench behind starters Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman.
