For all the glam and anticipation surrounding the first two days of the NFL draft, perhaps no day is more important to team building than Day 3.
There are four rounds of draft picks—in 2025, this meant 155 selections—plus an extensive pool of undrafted free agents that has grown larger in recent years due to the NCAA providing additional eligibility.
Naturally, the odds of reaching stardom are greater for players taken in the first three rounds. But rosters are built in Rounds 4-7.
The 2025 draft set a record with an average of 4.3 million viewers on Day 3, aided by Shedeur Sanders’s slide. But Sanders aside, several teams drafted players with the chance to make an immediate impact.
Here are 10 picks from Day 3 with the best opportunity to help their teams right away.
ROUND 4105. Cam Skattebo, RB, New York Giants
The Giants have running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary on their roster, but Skattebo’s power, toughness and contact balance add a different element. He should be a factor in New York’s rotation down the stretch of his rookie season, and it’s easy to see Skattebo becoming a short-yardage back or late-game finisher for the Giants.
