What time does 2022 NFL Draft start today? Live TV coverage, schedule for Friday's Rounds 2-3 image

The first round is all about the sizzle. The second round is all about the steak.

While a lot of the NFL's star players are found in the first round, a lot of the NFL's starters are found in the second and third rounds. This year, with how deep the draft is, expect a lot of good players to be on the board all the way through the end of the third round.

Several intriguing prospects are left on the board once the second round gets underway at 7 p.m. ET on Friday night: Malik Willis, Sam Howell, Boye Mafe and Nakobe Dean are some of the best remaining prospects to keep an eye on this Friday night.

Here's how you can catch the next 73 picks of this year's draft tonight:
