But four more rounds remain.

Saturday at the NFL Draft is where the scouting teams make their money, as the hours of work pouring over film, conducting interviews, and attending games truly pay off for teams. With over 150 picks still to be made, there are a lot of players who will realize their NFL dreams today.

Here are the best players left on the board, starting with cornerback Jermod McCoy. The medical issues with his knee must be truly scaring teams, as this is a player with top-ten talent who remains undrafted as the third day begins. But the ACL surgery, and recent reports that he might need an additional surgery to address a “bone plug,” see him still on the board for the beginning of the fourth round.

Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is also available, which is a bit of a surprise given the fact that both Carson Beck and Drew Allar came off the board on Friday night.

Another player to watch is slot cornerback Keionte Scott from Miami, a disruptive force in the secondary. Scott was one of our favorite players to study and while he lined up primarily in the slot for the Hurricanes, he does have the size to kick outside. Some team is going to be very happy he slide to Day 3.

Here are the best player remaining as the final day of the 2026 NFL Draft looms:

Michael Turner announced the pick and called it a “for the bloodline,” and my goodness is it ever. There is a very real chance both Terrell brother play on the field at the same time, with Avieon being a versatile enough defensive back that he could would outside across from his brother, or inside with the slot.

This was one of the most heartwarming moments of the draft, and you know the family is absolutely overjoyed to have the whole family together. Nobody is celebrating harder tonight than the Terrells, and rightfully so.

It’s not that Simpson is bad, or even that the Rams taking him wasn’t on the cards. In fact, for a long time there was speculation the team would take Simpson in the 1st round, just at No. 29, until Los Angeles traded the pick for Trent McDuffie. The confusion around the selection is aimed more at the fact that taking a quarterback to prepare for the eventuality of Matthew Stafford’s retirement was too cute, and too smart for its own good — especially when the Rams are a team built to win right now.

This only got worse following the draft when coach Sean McVay looked flat-out annoyed while hearing GM Les Snead wax poetic about Ty Simpson.

“We’ve talked about the importance of Jimmy [Garoppolo]. To be able to add somebody that you can evaluate a body of work where he was asked to play the position and a lot of things that do translate in terms of concepts, reading with his feet, some of the different things in the drop back in the play-action game and the movement game. There are a lot of things that [Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan] Grubb did that’s very similar to how we operate, so it made it an easier evaluation to be able to say, ‘Alright, what would that look like if he did translate it to our level?’”

Here’s another clip from McVay’s post-draft presser:

The most generous reading of these comments is that McVay is fine with the pick. His verbiage is more akin to how coaches talk about day three picks, not someone you take No. 13 overall. This is especially notable considering the board at the time, which could have landed the Rams someone like Makai Lemon or Kenyon Sadiq, either of whom would have bolstered the Rams passing attack — or even safety Dillon Thieneman, who would have been an upgrade to the secondary.

It’s going to be at least two years before we learn whether or not picking Simpson was a genius move or not, but there are more questions about the pick after people learned that Snead had personal entanglements with the Simpson family.

It’s only natural to question whether or not Snead had tunnel vision for Simpson throughout this process. One would think that a general manager and head coach’s vision naturally aligns, but this is a case where it might not. Snead’s job is to be more forward-looking at the overall health of the franchise, while McVay’s is to get the most out of the guys he has in front of him. There very well could have been friction about seeing the Falcons’ pick (which they obtained in 2025) as a means to land a quarterback, with the expectation that they’ll otherwise be picking in the back-end of the 20s, or hopefully 32 — while McVay didn’t want to put the cart in front of the horse, and instead get someone that would help prevent the Rams from flaming out in the playoffs.

What makes this all so interesting is that the Rams are typically an organization held up as a paragon of vision and smart decision-making. Selecting Simpson could end up being genius, or a bizarrely desperate move to get a second-round QB talent too early in the draft, just to correct a problem that doesn’t exist yet.

When Simpson does eventually take over for the Rams at QB, he’ll have barely played football at all since leaving high school:

One thing is certain: If the Rams fail to make it to the Super Bowl this season, then everyone will be looking at who could have helped the team with this No. 13 pick — and it won’t be Ty Simpson.

There were a lot of surprises in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. The Titans taking Carnell Tate at No. 4? Unexpected. Caleb Downs, Rueben Bain, and Makai Lemon all sliding? Shocking — but it was what the Los Angeles Rams did with the No. 13 overall pick that was truly jaw-dropping, selecting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson to be their signal caller of the future. We gave the pick a C+ grade.

GM Omar Khan was on the phone with USC wide receiver Makai Lemon, telling the prospect that he was going to be picked at No. 21 and become a Steeler. Then all the oxygen got sucked from Pittsburgh’s war room when Lemon told Khan, “Why is Philly calling?”

The Steelers jumped the gun in making the call. They reached out to Lemon when the Cowboys were on the clock, assuming there was no way that Dallas was going to take a wide receiver — and also likely assuming that they wouldn’t trade in-division with the Eagles, who were the most-likely team to take a receiver at that point.

It led to a bit of a mess. Pittsburgh ended up making a decent choice in offensive tackle Max Iheanachor, but he was definitely more of a reach based on consensus big boards, whereas Lemon would have been a steal. It’s also unclear how Iheanachor makes the Steelers immediately better, seeming more like Broderick Jones insurance than a home run in his own right. Find every pick of the 2026 NFL Draft with our tracker.

Meanwhile, the Eagles got absolutely bailed out of their WR mess by their in-division rival. Philadelphia were staring down the barrel of either needing to reach for a pass catcher, or take a different position, potentially be forced to trade AJ Brown, and get left with an incomplete offense. Now with DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon they’re set — and both players came to the Eagles via trades with the Cowboys.

Time will tell how all this shakes out. Maybe Iheanachor will turn into a stud, Lemon will be a bust and everything will play out … or this could be a moment that haunts the Steelers forever.
