The 2026 NFL Draft is on to day three, bringing with it rounds four through seven. After 100 college prospects were selected in the first two days of the Draft, today will bring an additional 157 selections. Today is the day when a gem will be found and someone will have the “steal” of the Draft. Who will it be?
Join in the live conversation about everything that happens in the comments below. I will not be live updating today’s discussion as I did in the first two days, keeping up with minute-by-minute updates as the speed will pick up in the next few rounds and the broadcasts will fall behind. I will have the biggest news and rumors, however.

Let’s get to it.
Day 3 Updates
[1:29 p.m.] TRADE! The Bears trade up to the 124th position and add the 166th pick, sending the Panthers picks 129 and 144.
[1:17 p.m.] TRADE! The Raiders move up to 122, sending the Falcons the 134th and 208th picks.
[1:04 p.m.] TRADE! The Jaguars move up to the 119th pick and also receive the 196th pick, sending the Panthers picks 124 and 166.
[1:01 p.m.] TRADE! Chargers move up to 117th, sending the Texans picks 123 and 204.
[12:37 p.m.] TRADE! The Jets sent the 128th and 140th picks to the Bengals for the 110th and 199th picks.
[12:32 p.m.] Awful Announcing broke down the first round of the draft and the consistent delay between picks being made and the broadcasts getting the announcement. The shorter, eight minute versus ten minute, pick time would be great if the league kept up with the picks, but when you are constantly three to four picks behind and it feels like a sprint just to get through the round, it does not work. Between commercials, interviews, analysis, and green-room/home announcement reactions, there is not enough time to do everything and it made the broadcast rough. Eight minutes works if you streamline everything, but the league may want to move back to 10 minutes if it is going to feel like this again in 2027.
[12:00 pm.] Trade! The fourth round starts with an immediate trade as the Bills move back to 102 and the Raiders come up to 101 by sending Buffalo a 2027 seventh-round pick.
