NFL Draft TV Coverage 2012: Where and When to Watch Rounds 4-7 Action

Mike ChiariJun 7, 2018

The vast majority of the hype surrounding the NFL draft involves the first round, and there is even some excitement for the second and third rounds. If you're willing to tune in for the long haul on Saturday, as the fourth through seventh rounds wrap up the draft, however, then there is no doubt that you are a diehard football fan.

Even the closest followers of college football are often dumbfounded when it comes to the identities of some of the picks on the draft's final day. The truth of the matter is, though, that there will be plenty of future starters selected on Saturday—some of whom will become Pro Bowl-caliber players. Even as soon as the end of the upcoming season, we will be able to look back at the final four rounds of the draft and pick out prospects who made an immediate impact.

Biggest Names to Watch on Day 3

Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State

Despite being the winningest quarterback in FBS history with 50 victories at Boise State, signal-caller Kellen Moore is unlikely to be taken prior to the final couple of rounds. His career statistics with the Broncos were fantastic, as he threw for at least 35 touchdowns and fewer than 10 interceptions in each of his final three seasons. As good as Moore was in college, though, he doesn't appear to have the skill set or prototypical size NFL scouts typically look for.

He is an accurate passer, but his delivery is a bit awkward and he lacks zip on the ball. Also, at just 6'0" and less than 200 lbs., he may have trouble seeing over the defensive line and dealing with pressure. He isn't as mobile as you would expect a quarterback his size to be, either, but because of his winning pedigree, it wouldn't be a surprise for a team to take a chance on him as a developmental player in the sixth or seventh round.

Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State

Widely regarded as a first-round pick by many observers a couple of months ago, Arizona State linebacker Vontaze Burfict has dropped so far that there is concern about whether he will even be drafted. There were already some character concerns with Burfict, as his work ethic was often questioned, and he was prone to making terrible mental errors on the field with the Sun Devils. Those concerns were only exacerbated by a positive drug test that came to light this week.

There is no doubt that Burfict is physically gifted, but he came to the combine a bit overweight and didn't perform nearly as well as expected. If he lacks the motivation to sell himself to future employers, then it's hard to imagine him going all out on game day. There is a tremendous amount of untapped potential, though, so some team will likely think that it can get the most out of him.

Case Keenum, QB, Houston

There is no shortage of record-breaking quarterbacks in this year's draft, and Houston gunslinger Case Keenum may be the most decorated of any of them. Keenum is the NCAA's all-time leader in career completions (1,546), passing yardage (19,217) and touchdown passes (155). Despite all of those accolades, much like Kellen Moore, Keenum's ability isn't in line with what talent evaluators look for, so he is a late-round option at best.

Keenum threw for over 5,000 yards in a season three times during his collegiate career, but he did it against inferior competition in Conference USA and in a gimmick offense. The spread is catching on like wildfire in the NFL, though no team is going to run it as dramatically as Keenum did at Houston. Also, the defensive players are smarter and more talented at the next level, so he won't be able to pick the opposition apart. On top of that, Keenum is just 6'0" like Moore, so it's unlikely that a team will spend more than a sixth- or seventh-rounder on him.
