The NFL's 32 teams have made it through three rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft, but there is still much work to be done with rounds four through seven set to begin at 11:00 a.m. CT on Saturday. With that much work yet to be done, you know there are still many solid prospects remaining on the board. Here's a look at some of the best ones, according to NFL Media's Gil Brandt.
A lot of mock drafts had Billings going somewhere in the second half of the first round, but he remains available heading into the fourth round. Billings is big and can clog up the middle, but he also has explosive traits and made a habit of being in the offensive backfield.
Not many would've been surprised if Cook had gone very late in the first round to a team looking to stash a QB behind an established but soon to be retired veteran. It didn't happen, though, and then no one picked him in the second or third rounds, either. Now the question is, will he even be the next QB off the board?
Here's a RB who set the UAB rushing record then transferred to Indiana and was a First-Team All-Big 10 performer. He ran a 4.59 40-yard dash and is listed at 230 pounds. Howard posseses an intriguing combination of skill set and size.
Teams looking for that hybrid safety-linebacker may find Killebrew interesting. He was a four-year starter at Southern Utah who reached triple digits in tackles in each of the past two seasons and earned all-conference recognition in all four of his seasons in college.
Alexander has experience playing both LG and RT and he earned First-Team All-SEC honors on the right side last season. He's big and powerful and he has position flexibility.
Day is a three-year starter at a major program who can play DE or DT and who made a habit of disrupting offenses with 15.5 tackles for loss, 13 QB hurries and 4.0 sacks in 2015 along the way to earning USA Today First Team All-American honors. How is he still available? Tough to figure out. But he may not be available for long on Saturday.
Perkins has run for nearly 3,000 yards the last two seasons at UCLA and he's found the end zone 23 times in that span. The Vikings have stocked up on LBs and specialists from UCLA in recent years, maybe Saturday is the day to pluck a RB from the Bruins campus.
Allen was a high school wrestler who brought that rugged mentality to Michigan State and the Big 10, where he was a four-year starter, two-time USA Today All-American and team captain.
Jones has great size at 6-5, 253 pounds. He has a cannon for an arm. He was productive at a powerhouse school. He led Ohio State to a national title. And he's been through a lot of adversity only to rise from it and be on the cusp of making it to the NFL. Could be a fun project with big upside for some QB coach out there.
Perhaps Bush is that versatile safety Mike Zimmer likes so much. He can make plays in coverage (four INTs, 13 pass breaks ups), at the line of scrimmage (103 tackles, 7.0 TFLs, last two seasons) and he likes to rip the ball from the ball carrier (five forced fumbles in 2014.
