Rounds two and three of the NFL Draft will follow on Friday night, with 73 players being selected. The final 154 athletes will be chosen in Rounds four through seven on Saturday. The final rounds are always worth watching, as in the past some of the league's biggest stars were selected then — like Tom Brady, who was chosen in the sixth round as the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft.
