NFL DRAFT

What time is 2024 NFL draft Saturday? Time, draft order and how to watch final day

Just because headliners are off the board doesn't mean there isn't value in the late rounds of the NFL draft.

In fact, this is when many of the better teams in the NFL separate themselves from the rest of the pack, unearthing players who can fill in gaps on the roster and potentially contribute within a few seasons, if not even sooner.

It's easy to forget, given their production and seamless transition into the NFL, that players such as quarterback Tom Brady (sixth round, 2000), cornerback Richard Sherman (fifth round, 2011), running back Terrell Davis (sixth round, 1995), tight end Shannon Sharpe (seventh round, 1990) and receiver Marques Colston (seventh round, 2006) were all taken in the late rounds of their respective NFL drafts.

The quest to find players like those begins Saturday.
