How to watch the NFL draft
With the 2014 officially underway, find out how to catch all the action from Radio City Music Hall on NFL Network.
The third day of the 2014 might lack the star power and pick-by-pick drama of the first two days, but there are still plenty of interesting storylines to follow in Rounds 4 to 7.
Here are four of the questions to which we will be seeking answers on Saturday:
What will the Texans do at quarterback?
Coach Bill O'Brien said the Texans would draft at least one quarterback -- . Through three rounds and four picks, they've yet to address the position. Houston does have in Ryan Mallett, who should be easier to pry away from the Patriots now that .
The marquee quarterback names left on the board are Alabama's , LSU's , Georgia's , Pitt's , San Jose State's and Virginia Tech's .
Will the Browns finally draft a wide receiver?
As if Josh Gordon's wasn't depressing enough, news broke late Friday night that veteran Nate Burleson has undergone surgery after for the second time in the past eight months.
New general manager Ray Farmer has already made five picks, but he's yet to patch up his glaring deficiency at wideout. Among the most intriguing receivers still on the board are Clemson's , South Carolina's , Wisconsin's and UCLA's .
When do the Steelers address wide receiver and cornerback?
Entering the draft, beat writers were in unanimous agreement that cornerback and red-zone receiver were the Steelers' top two priorities. Although Pittsburgh has added an impressive blend of dynamic speed, size and athleticism through three picks, they have yet to fill those pre-draft voids.
As it turns out, Dick LeBeau than those outside the building do. If the Steelers end up targeting a physical receiver in Round 4, Bryant's 6-foot-4 frame has to be appealing.
Will Michael Sam hear his name called on Saturday?
After discussing Sam's value with two dozen NFL executives in personnel, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn ascertained that Sam -- at best -- on the draft boards of most teams. Attempting to become the in league history, Sam is viewed as an undersized pass rusher without a position.
Our prediction is that Sam will find an NFL home before the end of the draft. If the Jets were once in the seventh round because the former Colorado receiver was a close friend of Mark Sanchez, there has to be a progressive team eyeing the bigger picture with Sam. Special teams units around the league have fielded less impressive talents than the 2013 SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
