2017 NFL Draft Round 3

65	B
Browns select: Larry Ogunjobi, DT, Charlotte Comments Big, raw physical player who will help a defense that needs help stopping the run. Nice move.
66	B+
49ers select: Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado John Lynch continues to get good players. They need cover player and this kid can handle it.
67	C+
Saints select: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee I like the player, but why a back after signing Peterson? Weird.
68	B+
Jaguars select: Duwuane Smoot, DE, Illinois He was on my list of Better-Than players because I think he has good pass-rush ability. Was much better in 2015 than last year.
69	B+
Rams select: Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington The Rams need receiver help, but they had other options here that might have helped more. Draftniks loved Kupp more than the scouts.
70	B+
Vikings select: Pat Elfein, C, Ohio State He can play guard or center for a team that needs line help. I like it.
71	A-
Chargers select: Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana He is a good, college guard who will come in and push for a job right away. A nice pick.
72	B
Titans select: Taywan Taylor, WR, Western Kentucky He was productive in an offense that throws the ball around. I like the pick here to get Marcus Mariota more help.
73	A
Bengals select: Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State This is a heck of a pick. They need an edge rusher and he will push for time at right end right away.
74	B+
Ravens select: Chris Wormley, DT, MIchigan There were some scouts who thought he had second-round talent. And they need help up front.
75	B
Falcons select: Duke Riley, LB, LSU Riley has speed, which you know the Falcons love, so he fits. Adding more speed makes sense. They are fast.
76	A
Saints select: Alex Anzalone, LB, Florida If he can stay on he field, and injuries have been an issue, he will be quality starter. I like it.
77	A
Panthers select: Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M Love this pick in this spot. Dave Gettleman know defensive ends. This is a steal.
78	B
Ravens select: Tim Williams, LB, Alabama The talent is there, but there are character concerns. If he can stay out of trouble, it's a great pick. Big if.
79	B
Jets select: ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama The Jets need help at receiver, so this makes sense. He isn't a big receiver, but he will get reps early.
80	B-
Colts select: Tarell Basham, DE, Ohio He's got the ability to stand up as a pass rusher in their scheme, but he can also play down. They do need a young rusher to help.
81	B+
Redskins select: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA He had first-round talent, but a torn pec muscle dropped him down to this round.
82	B
Broncos select: Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech The Broncos need a third receiver and this kid made a ton of plays in college and is a polished player. Nice pick.
83	B+
Patriots select: Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State Some scouts liked him as a first-round talent, others didn't like him much at all. I think he's going to a good spot to learn.
84	B-
Buccaneers select: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State He is a playmaker who can run, which is always good to have. But is this a need?
85	B-
Patriots select: Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy He will be a nice depth for a year and Nate Solder is int he last year of his contact. This is a depth pick.
86	B+
Chiefs select: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo This is when you take a productive back and get real value. Hunt is a good player and the Chiefs need a young back.
87	B
Giants select: Davis Webb, QB, California This is Eli Manning's replacement. They had to get him some time. It makes sense.
88	C
Raiders select: Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA Feast or famine for Vanderdoes. When his weight is in check, he's a force. When it's not, he isn't nearly as good. There is talent.
89	B-
Texans select: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas If he can keep his weight in check, he will help as a power runner.
90	B-
Seahawks select: Shaquill Griffin, CB, UCF Long corner who fits with what the Seahawks want in a corner. He had some problems against upper level opponents.
91	B
Rams select: John Johnson, S, Boston College Rangy safety who impressed when he went to the Senior Bowl. They need help on the back end.
92	B+
Cowboys select: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan He was a productive corner, but there are some size concerns. Fits a need.
93	B+
Packers select: Montravious Adams, DE, Auburn This is a player who I liked more than the scouts. He can get lazy, but I like him.
94	B+
Steelers select: Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee This kid is a corner who I think they can slide inside to safety and be a good player.
95	B-
Seahawks select: Delano Hill, S, Michigan They have issues with safeties with Earl Thomas coming off an injury and Kam Chancellor in the last year of his contract.
96	B-
Patriots select: Kenny Golladay, WR, Northern Illinois A big. physical receiver who gives them a big, young target. The speed is the concern.
97	B-
Dolphins select: Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson Their corners are solid, but Byron Maxwell isn't a kid anymore. This makes sense for Miami.
98	B
Cardinals select: Chad Williams, WR, Grambling State They need help at receiver, and this kid put up numbers against lower level competition. But he doesn't run that well.
99	B
Eagles select: Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia Douglas is a big corner at 6-2 who impressed at West Virginia. They need help there, and he can play man coverage at his size.
100	C+
Titans select: Jonnu Smith, TE, FIU Pass-catching tight end who will add another weapon to the passing game. They have really helped Marcus Mariota.
101	C
Broncos select: Brendan Langley, CB, Lamar Southland A good-sized corner who had some issues at the Senior Bowl after playing at a low level. Needs time.
102	B-
Seahawks select: Nazair Jones, DT, North Carolina He is a big power player who will help their rotation inside. They know how to replace players inside.
103	B+
Saints select: Trey Hendrickson, DE, FAU He has some pass rush talent and fills a need. It works.
104	C
49ers select: C.J. Beathard, QB, Iowa I would have taken Nathan Peterman here, but they need a developmental guy so I get it.
105	A+
Steelers select: James Conner, RB, PIttsburgh I am giving this kid an A just for being picked after beating cancer. It's a great story and he does have ability.
106	B+
Seahawks select: Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan I think this is nice value here for a team that needs receiver help with Tyler Lockett coming off an injury.
107	B
Jets select: Kendell Beckwith, LB, LSU He is a tough, physical linebacker who showed up in the big games. Had a ton of tackles vs. Alabama in a physical game, but he's not healthy yet.
