Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft is underway, with Rounds 4-7 playing out throughout Saturday

Some of the top names are off the board, like No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, and a record six quarterbacks taken in the first 12 picks, with Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix all selected in the first round.

There are still plenty of talented players left on the board, however, as teams look for upside and to fill their needs for the upcoming season.

Multiple projected first-round picks had slipped out of the first round, meaning a few NFL teams got lucky in Round 2. It was extremely defense-heavy, with Illinois' Jer'Zhan Newton, Iowa's Cooper DeJean, Alabama's Kool-Aid McKinstry, and Texas A&M's Edgerrin Cooper all being picked. Even so, there are other solid players on the board heading into Round 4.

Here are the best available players after Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft:
