Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images | Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft are behind us. 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:

Rank (Overall)	Rank (Remaining)	Player	Position	School	Position Rank (Overall)
14	1	Jermod McCoy	CB	Tennessee	CB2
48	2	Keionte Scott	CB	Miami	CB7
65	3	Connor Lew	IOL	Auburn	IOL4
68	4	Mike Washington Jr	RB	Arkansas	RB3
70	5	Keith Abney II	CB
