Emmanuel McNeil-Warren — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0
Leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will track where Toledo Rockets safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren appears in the latest NFL mock drafts.
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren NFL Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Emmanuel McNeil-Warren has appeared:
No. 20 overall — Dallas Cowboys (via GB)
The Cowboys seem to never take a true safety in the first round (SEE: Roy Williams in 2002). Could this year be different? Longtime starter Donovan Wilson is headed for free agency.
No. 25 overall — Chicago Bears
The Bears need to address their defensive line, but there's also a chance they'll be without both of their starting 2025 safeties next year. With the way the board has fallen, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren may look like the better value. McNeil-Warren is good at a lot of the things Jaquan Brisker has done well for the Bears and seems like a natural replacement.
No. 13 overall — Los Angeles Rams (via ATL)
The Rams had a good look at how the Seahawks deployed Nick Emmanwori with great success in his rookie year. McNeil-Warren offers L.A. its own playmaking, rangy safety, boosting a pass defense that has struggled in recent years. He teams with Kamren Kinchens and Quentin Lake to create a nice safety trio.
No. 18 overall — Minnesota Vikings
This is a weird spot for the Vikings as they recently fired their general manager. But Harrison Smith seems likely to retire, so the Vikings need some safety help. McNeil-Warren was probably the top non-power conference player this season, logging nine forced fumbles and five interceptions in his career.
