Round 3

1 (65). Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State

Smith has the ability to get to the quarteback, as he had 9 sacks last season.

 
2 (66). Tennessee Titans-Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Missouri

Green-Beckham may be the most talented wide receiver in this draft class, but he falls this low due to off the fields concerns and his limited route running.


3 (67). Jacksonville Jaguars-David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa

Johnson is a big body back that could also catch balls out of the backfield.

 
4 (68). Oakland Raiders-T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama

Yeldon was a three year starter for the Crimson Tide and was very consistent. He had over 3,300 rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns in his career.


5 (69). Washington Redskins-Tre Jackson, OG, Florida State

If RGIII is going to be the quarterback this year, they will need to beef up the line and give RGIII more time.

 
6 (70). New York Jets-Carl Davis, DT, Iowa

The Jets already have Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson on their defensive line, but after that, they have nothing.

 
7 (71). Chicago Bears-Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State

The Bears need a defensive tackle to take on two blockers and get to the quarterback. Bennett can fulfill that.

 
8 (72). St. Louis Rams-Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State

Grayson threw for over 4,000 yards last year and had 32 passing touchdowns. Also, he doesn't force the ball too much, as he threw only 7 interceptions.

 
9 (73). Atlanta Falcons-Paul Dawson, ILB, TCU

Dawson's film is the best out of all the inside linebackers, but his horrible combine and character concerns will drop him this far.


10 (74). New York Giants-Gerod Holliman, S, Louisville

Holliman may miss a couple of tackles, but he will make a ton of positive plays. He had 14 interceptions last season, the most in college football.


11 (75). New Orleans Saints-A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina

Cann could come in and start right away at left guard.

 
12 (76). Minnesota Vikings-James Sample, S, Louisville

Sample is very good in the box, and makes a ton of tackles.

 

13 (77). Cleveland Browns-Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State

After losing Jordan Cameron, the Browns could use a tight end. Heuerman was better in 2013 than 2014 and his potential should get teams excited.

 

14 (78). New Orleans Saints (from Miami Dolphins)-Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State

Mannion had an okay season in 2014, but he was very good in 2013. In 2013, he was 2nd in passing yards, and 4th in touchdowns.

 
15 (79). San Francisco 49ers-Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State

Smith was dominant in the season and at the Senior Bowl. He would compete right away for the starting right tackle spot.

 
16 (80). Kansas City Chiefs-Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon

Grasu was great last year. He shut down all of the top defensive tackles, including Danny Shelton.

 
17 (81). Buffalo Bills-Anthony Harris, S, Virginia

Rex Ryan will want his own players on defense and will draft one high to replace Da'Norris Searcy.

 
18 (82). Houston Texans-Josh Shaw, CB, USC

Shaw could come in and play cornerback or safety in the NFL.

 
19 (83). San Diego Chargers-Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn

Wright gets in to the backfield very quick, he will become a good run stuffer in the NFL.

 

20 (84). Philadelphia Eagles-Mario Edwards Jr., DE/DT, Florida State

Edwards was much better in 2013 than 2014, but has a lot of potential to be a good 3-4 defensive end.

 
21 (85). Cincinnati Bengals-T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh

Andrew Whitworth is 33 years old and is heading into his contract year. It's time to start looking for his replacement.


22 (86). Arizona Cardinals-Marcus Hardison, DT, Arizona State

Hardison could provide great depth to the Cardinals defensive line.

 

23 (87). Pittsburgh Steelers-Jesse James, TE, Penn State

James is the biggest tight end in this class, at 6'7. He will be a huge target for Ben Roethlisberger as Heath Miller's career comes to a close.


24 (88). Detroit Lions-Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU

Hunter led LSU with 13 tackles for loss in 2014.


25 (89). Carolina Panthers-David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

Cobb is a physical runner who could be able to become a 3 down back.


26 (90). Baltimore Ravens-Rory "Busta" Anderson, TE, South Carolina

Dennis Pitta may not play next year, and they lost Owen Daniels. They could have a good pair of tight ends with Anderson and Crockett Gillmore.


27 (91). Dallas Cowboys-John Miller, OG, Louisville

The best offensive line in the league gets even better.


28 (92). Denver Broncos-Derron Smith, S, Fresno State

Between Derron Smith and Bradley Roby, the Broncos will have a good free safety and nickel cornerback.


29 (93). Indianapolis Colts-Arie Kouandijo, OG, Alabama

Kouandijo could take over the right guard spot from Todd Herremans. Kouandijo is one of the best run blocking guards in the draft.

 
30 (94). Green Bay Packers-Mike Davis, RB, South Carolina

Davis can be a good compliment to Eddie Lacy.

 
31 (95). Seattle Seahawks-Nate Orchard, DE, Utah

Seattle takes a pass rusher who led the nation in sacks last year with 18.5.

 

32 (96). New England Patriots-Quinton Spain, OG, West Virginia

The Patriots could use upgrades at both guard spots and Spain should be able to take one of them.

 
33 (97). New England Patriots (compensatory selection)-Devin Funchess, WR, Michigan

Funchess' 40 time was very bad, but that doesn't take away what he did on film. At 6'4, the Patriots could move Fuchess to tight end and have the top tight end duo in the league.

 
34 (98). Kansas City Chiefs (compensatory selection)-Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State

Rashad Greene is a quarterback friendly wide receiver. He will be a good fit with the Chiefs offense as he have a lot of yards after the catch.

 
35 (99). Cincinnati Bengals (compensatory selection)-Adrian Amos, S, Penn State

The Bengals only have four safeties on their roster, and their two starters are both in their contract year. They should start preparing for the future.
