What time does Day 3 three of the 2017 NFL Draft start? 

After the first round on Thursday and the second through third rounds on Friday, Day 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft will be held on Saturday, April 28. Fans want to see who their favorite NFL teams will be taking. It’s a great way to get to know players and who they’ll be watching on Sundays (or Mondays or Thursdays) in the near future. For college football fans, it’s cool to watch players you saw play on Saturdays get the opportunity to play on Sundays.

Day 3 of the NFL Draft will feature rounds four through seven. It moves pretty quickly, especially compared to the slow pace of rounds one through three. Though the players are late round picks, don’t think that means they’re any less important than the people drafted before them. For example, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots was selected on the last day of the NFL Draft.

Saturday’s action will start at noon ET. Unlike Thursday and Friday, this day will most likely start on time. The NFL Draft is a lot of fun, but by the final day, teams just want to make their picks and get out. Though the draft is a fun experience for fans, they likely feel the same way.

It will be shown on ESPN. They will be giving live commentary of the draft, though it won’t be quite as in depth as Thursday or Friday because the picks will be occurring fairly fast. While there will be trades, they usually happen pretty fast because teams don’t like to wait too much. Saturday should be a great way to close off another successful NFL Draft. Philadelphia has been a gracious host of it, perhaps even more so than anticipated.
