It’s Saturday! Welcome to the third and final day of the NFL Draft. By now, if you’re a casual NFL fan you’re recognizing a lot fewer of these players. If you’re a college football fan, you’re rooting for the players you knew in college to get their shot at NFL glory.

With the third day though, comes a lot to look for. There are going to be rumors that leak about players still on the board, remaining needs for teams, and picks that will be announced from all over the world. Let’s get weird.

Shaquem Griffin is the biggest name left

Griffin is the easiest player to root for in the draft. He lost his left hand due to a rare prenatal condition and went on to become a wildly athletic football player. In March, he stole the show at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

He showed off blazing speed with a 4.38, the same time that his brother Shaquill (current Seahawk) did in 2017:

He also threw up 20 reps of 225 on the bench press using a prosthetic on his left arm:

And the guy can downright play. He’s easily one of the best players left on the board. It’s just a matter of when somebody decides to give him his chance.

Maurice Hurst may or may not get picked

Hurst has long been believed to be one of the most talented players in the entire NFL Draft. When SB Nation’s Stephen White did his film review, he kept having to run a play back because Hurst got out of his stance so fast that White would miss it.

But Hurst ran into a problem when he was diagnosed with a heart condition at the NFL Combine. He didn’t go through drills, and would go through further tests. He would ultimately be cleared, and then impressed at Michigan’s pro day. But he’s fallen into the final day of the NFL Draft, something that’s unfortunate for such a quality player.

Where will the rest of the quarterbacks go?

There was just one quarterback taken on Day 2, and it was Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph to the Steelers.

This means we could see a run on quarterbacks Saturday, with Western Kentucky’s Mike White, Memphis’ Riley Ferguson, Washington State’s Luke Falk, Richmond’s Kyle Lauletta, and Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett still available. Each player is on Dan Kadar’s big board, except for Barrett. But don’t count him out.

There are so many guest pickers

NFL teams will announce their selections for Rounds 4 to 6 of the draft from locations of their choosing. They’ll feature special guests who will make their picks from around the world, including military bases, state landmarks, and major attractions.

But there are two that stand out. One is that the Buccaneers will be having a parrot — yes, a parrot — delivering the team’s fourth-round selection on the pirate ship in Raymond James Stadium.

The other is the Dolphins’ guest pickers. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School football team will announce picks, along with the family of slain football coach Aaron Feis, from the Dolphins training facility. It should be another emotional moment in the draft, after Ryan Shazier announced the Steelers’ pick on Thursday night.
