NFL Draft 2026: Live chat for Day 3
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.

[2:59 p.m.]TRADE! The Chiefs moved up to the 161st pick, also adding the 249th selection, by sending the Steelers the 169th and 210th picks.
[2:45 p.m.] TRADE! The Broncos jumped up to pick 152, sending the Browns picks 170 and 182.
[2:34 p.m.] The fifth round has gotten trade happy:
TRADE! The Seahawks moved up to the 148th pick by sending the Browns a 2027 fourth-round pick.
TRADE! The Saints acquired defensive end Tyree Wilson and the 219th pick from the Raiders for the 150th pick.

[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.
The NFL's shortened pick clock left the draft broadcast running nearly 10 minutes behind real time Thursday night. https://t.co/R1ykBbRaVa
