Every year we don't just see an NFL dotted with starters who were taken on Day 3, we find that some of those starters are rookies. In a particularly deep draft, it's going to be the same story in 2017.
Here are the 25 best players left on my board heading into Day 3 of the 2017 NFL draft:
Final Big Board: Top 300 | Position rankings
1. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
Overall rank: 52 | Watch highlights
The talent far surpasses the ultimate draft position at this point, but an injury history doesn't help. Still, there is a lot of upside here for a Day 3 pass-rusher.
