Justin Halper Mock Draft 1.0

It’s that time of year again! The NFL Draft is only a few months away, and with the NFL season having just concluded, all picks are set, barring any trades.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the draft and predict its first three rounds.

With the 1st Overall Pick, the Tennessee Titans select: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Many mock drafts have Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil going to the Titans, but there is no way the Titans can afford to pass on a talent like Bosa. He has the potential of a J.J. Watt-type of playmaker, and has already proven to be able to wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines.

Bosa would strengthen a poor Titans defense and would create a dynamic pass rushing duo between himself and Pro Bowl defensive end Jurrell Casey.

With the 2nd Overall Pick, the Cleveland Browns select: Jared Goff, QB, Cal

Almost all other mock drafts have the Browns selecting a quarterback with this pick, but it is up in the air which one they will take. Carson Wentz of North Dakota State has been climbing up draft boards drastically, and Paxton Lynch is the quarterback many people believe will end up as the best player in the draft. But I have the Browns taking the safer pick in Cal’s Jared Goff.

After the Johnny Manziel experiment failed dramatically and with new head coach Hue Jackson in town, don’t expect the Browns to be too risky with this pick. Cleveland will go with the safe bet in Goff and will be able to rebuild their team with no more question marks at the quarterback position.

With the 3rd Overall Pick, the San Diego Chargers select: Laremy Tunsil, T, Ole Miss

I would not be surprised at all if the Chargers end up trading this pick to a team that needs a quarterback (i.e. the Rams), but as of now they will be able to take a player that many regard as the best player in the draft. If the Chargers want to win, they must be able to protect Phillip Rivers. One of the main reasons the Chargers struggled last season was due to issues with their offensive line, so adding Tunsil would work wonders for the Chargers.

The addition of Tunsil would also be beneficial to Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, a player who struggled mightily last season. The Chargers have numerous needs that must be addressed throughout the draft, but adding Tunsil is probably the best thing the Chargers could do with their pick.

With the 4th Overall Pick, the Dallas Cowboys select: Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State

Many people believe that the Cowboys will take a quarterback with this pick, but as long as Tony Romo is in a Cowboys uniform, there is no need for Dallas to get a new quarterback this early. Instead, they get the best player available in Florida State’s Jalen Ramsey.

The transition from college to the NFL is extremely difficult for cornerbacks, with Justin Gilbert being the prime example. However, Ramsey is far more talented than Gilbert was coming out of Oklahoma State, and should be able to slide right in to a starting spot in Dallas with ease.

Ramsey would be able to solidify a young Dallas secondary and could form a dynamic duo with last year’s first round pick, Byron Jones.

With the 5th Overall Pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select: Ronnie Stanley, T, Notre Dame

The Jaguars have pressing needs on both sides of the ball, but protecting franchise quarterback Blake Bortles must be their top priority when it comes to the draft. The Jaguars currently sport one of the top wide receiver duos with the Allen brothers (Allen Hurns and Pro Bowler Allen Robinson), but they must give Blake Bortles enough time in the pocket so he can make plays.

Stanley will sure up a rocky offensive line and will also be key in opening up running lanes for former Alabama star T.J. Yeldon and former Univesity of Michigan superstar and NCAA ’14 cover man Denard “Shoelace” Robinson.

With the 6th Overall Pick, the Baltimore Ravens select: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

The Ravens would love to get Stanley with this pick, but with him going fifth to Jacksonville, they must address their other needs on offense. That being said, wide receiver is definitely a position of need for the Ravens, so getting Treadwell will address a major concern.

Treadwell is by far the top wide receiver prospect in the draft. Adding him to a receiving core that consists of Kamar Aiken and the always reliable and gritty Steve Smith Sr. could be a recipe for a dominant passing game.

With the 7th Overall Pick, the San Francisco 49ers select: Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA

The 49ers have a lot of work to do under new head coach Chip Kelly, and while many people believe that they will select a quarterback here, I see them taking one later on in the draft, or perhaps not at all. The team still has Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco barring trade.

Here, the 49ers can get a player that will sure up a shaky defense and add another playmaker at linebacker to play alongside Pro Bowler Navarro Bowman. While there are question marks surrounding Jack’s health, the talent and potential is there to make him worthy of this selection.

With the 8th Overall Pick, the Miami Dolphins select: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida

The Dolphins were one of the biggest disappointments last season, especially with their defense. They were absolutely dreadful and with Brent Grimes nearing the decline in his career, Hargreaves could be exactly what the Dolphins need.

As mentioned earlier, the cornerback position is one of the toughest positions for players to adjust to out of college, but Hargreaves should be able to make the transition rather smoothly into the NFL. The addition of Hargreaves will help sure up a solid secondary that already consists of Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones and the aforementioned Grimes.

With the 9th Overall Pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select: Deforest Buckner, DE, Oregon

The Buccaneers have one of the best offenses in the NFL, as they currently showcase a backfield of Pro Bowlers Jameis Winston and Doug Martin (if the team re-signs or franchise tags him), along with a solid receiver core of Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans.

Everything is trending upwards for the Buccaneers, but on defense they could use another pass rusher or two to sure up a defensive line that currently circulates around superstar defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. In comes Buckner, a superstar pass rusher that terrified opposing quarterbacks while playing for Oregon. This is a pick where the Bucs are not only getting the best player available, but they are also filling a major need that they have on defense.

With the 10th Overall Pick, the New York Giants select: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson

With Buckner off the board, the Giants are getting the next best thing in Lawson. Lawson is a game changing talent, as his ability to get to the quarterback is one of the main reasons that Clemson made it to the College Football Championship game.

Adding a pass rusher is a must for the Giants, as they struggled mightily when it came to getting to the quarterback. The addition of Lawson will be helpful in keeping the Giants competitive in the fairly weak NFC East, and could prove to be the player that puts them over the top and gives them the defense necessary to win their division over the likes of the rival Cowboys and last year’s NFC East champion, Washington Redskins.

With the 11th Overall Pick, the Chicago Bears select: A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

Now under new head coach Vic Fangio, expect the Bears to try and build up a solid defensive line. Fangio benefited from having a defensive line that could set the tone of the game early when he was in San Francisco, so Robinson is the perfect move here.

Robinson is arguably the best defensive lineman available at this point, so this pick is a no brainer for Chicago if they want to take a step in the right direction.

With the 12th Overall Pick, the New Orleans Saints select: Jaylon Smith, OLB, Notre Dame

If the Saints are willing to select Smith in spite of the injury he suffered in the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State, they will be getting a player who has one of the highest ceilings in the draft.

Smith has the potential to be a game-changing. He’s a Justin Houston-esque type of player, and the Saints must leap out at the opportunity to steal him with the 12 pick. The Saints had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season, so adding Smith should help them out tremendously.

With the 13th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select: Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis

As of right now, the Eagles are not likely to re-sign quarterback Sam Bradford, and it is extremely unlikely that they will go into next season with Mark Sanchez as their starter.

Lynch arguably has the highest ceiling of all the quarterbacks in the draft. Unless the Eagles end up trading for someone like Colin Kaepernick or Nick Foles, both of whom they have been linked to, Lynch should be the move here.

With the 14th Overall Pick, the Oakland Raiders select: Mackenzie Alexander, CB, Clemson

With Charles Woodson retiring, the Oakland Raiders have a major hole to fill in their secondary. Even with Woodson, the Raiders had one of the worst defenses against the pass in all of the NFL.

In comes Alexander, a player who was a true leader at Clemson and was the heart and soul of their secondary. Even if Alexander doesn’t become a star corner in his first season, he should at the very least be a productive player that can help their defense improve against the pass tremendously.

With the 15th Overall Pick, the Los Angeles Rams select: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State

The Rams need a quarterback desperately, and they would likely like to see Paxton Lynch available at this point in the draft. However, with him going to the Eagles, they will likely take the next best thing in North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz.

Wentz has all of the tools to develop into a star in the NFL, and while he didn’t play at a big name school like Alabama, he is still a tremendous talent. Wentz will be able to give the Rams the franchise quarterback they have desired ever since they drafted Sam Bradford with the first overall pick in the 2010 draft.

With the 16th Overall Pick, the Detroit Lions select: Jack Conklin, T, Michigan State

The Lions could go with a wide receiver here with the recent retirement of superstar Calvin Johnson, but they are in dire need of an offensive lineman, so adding Conklin here makes perfect sense. He is the best offensive lineman available at this point in the draft, and should fit right in with Detroit.

Conklin should work wonders for the Lions’ horrific run game and should be able to give quarterback Matthew Stafford much more time in the pocket.

With the 17th Overall Pick, the Atlanta Falcons select: Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama

The Falcons at this point in the draft are taking the best defensive player available, and that is Alabama’s Reggie Ragland. Ragland would work wonders on a fairly weak linebacker core that recently lost Justin Durant, as he was released by the Falcons.

Ragland could be able to form a dynamic linebacker duo with Paul Worrilow and should be able to help sure up a Falcons defense that was not particularly good last season.

With the 18th Overall Pick, the Indianapolis Colts select: Taylor Decker, T, Ohio State

The Colts struggled mightily last season mostly due to issues with their offensive line. Their offensive line was one of the main reasons why quarterback Andrew Luck struggled, as he rarely had enough time in the pocket to make accurate throws to his receivers.

Taking Decker here is a must, as he will help sure up an extremely shaky offensive line and let the Colts protect Luck more than they did last season.

With the 19th  Overall Pick, the Buffalo Bills select: Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss

With the Bills expected to get rid of defensive end Mario Williams during the offseason, they should seriously consider adding a player like Nkemdiche to be his replacement.

While he has struggled with issues off the field, Nkemdiche has the potential to be the best player in the entire draft. For a team like the Bills that is on the fringe of contending, adding a potential instant-impact type of player like Nkemdiche is a must.

With the 20th Overall Pick, the New York Jets select: Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Ohio State

The Jets may end up losing running back Chris Ivory to free agency during the offseason, and if that is the case, adding Elliot here is a no-brainer.

Elliot is the best running back prospect in the draft, and has the size and speed to be a superstar in the NFL. The Jets could always wait a few more rounds to take a running back, but they can’t pass up on the opportunity to take a player like Elliot.

With the 21st Overall Pick, the Washington Redskins select: Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida

This is a case of getting the best player available at a position of need, as Bullard fills a big need on the defensive line for the Redskins and is also one of the better players available overall at this point in the draft.

Bullard should thrive in Washington and would be able to take some pressure off of star linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and defensive end Jason Hatcher.

With the 22nd Overall Pick, the Houston Texans select: Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State

After a forgettable postseason performance by quarterback Brian Hoyer against the Chiefs, the Texans were reminded yet again how much it would help to get a franchise quarterback to build around.

There are two players that can be selected here, and that is Michigan State’s Connor Cook and Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg. Cook gets the nod here due to him experiencing more team success in his college career and for taking his team to the College Football Playoff Semifinals last season. Cook should give the Texans the franchise quarterback that they have been searching for ever since they got rid of Matt Schaub.

With the 23rd Overall Pick, the Minnesota Vikings select: Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor

The Vikings need another playmaker on offense, and they are getting one of the best playmakers in the draft with Coleman.

Coleman is a once in a generation type of talent, and he would have gone higher if he wasn’t injured for part of the season. Coleman and current Vikings’ receiver Stefon Diggs should be able to form a great one-two punch on the outside for Pro Bowl quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

With the 24th Overall Pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

Doctson is another player who would have gone higher if not for injuries that he suffered last year. He is, like Coleman, an extremely athletic and talented receiver.

The Bengals may lose both Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu to free agency this offseason, so adding Doctson should help make up for the loss of one, or even both of them.

With the 25th Overall Pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers select: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State

The Steelers desperately need help in their secondary, so adding Apple here is a must. The transition may be tough for him at first, but he will not be forced into covering opposing teams’ #1 receivers right out of the gate.

Apple is a solid overall cornerback that should form a solid duo with William Gay in Pittsburgh for years to come.

With the 26th Overall Pick, the Seattle Seahawks select: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville

With defensive lineman Athyba Rubin and Brandon Mebane hitting free agency for the Seahawks this offseason, they must be prepared to lose at least one of them. With that being said, Rankins is the perfect pick here.

Rankins was a star at Louisville and should help bolster a Seahawks defensive line that currently consists of star defensive ends Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril.

With the 27th Overall Pick, the Green Bay Packers select: Kenny Clark, NT, UCLA

The Packers may lose defensive tackle B.J. Raji to free agency this offseason, and if that is the case, UCLA’s Kenny Clark would be the perfect replacement.

Clark is an energetic defender that can shut down the rushing attack of opposing teams, and would be the perfect fit in Green Bay. Clark has the potential to be a Ndamakung Suh type of player, and cannot be passed up on at this point in the draft.

With the 28th Overall Pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select: Jarron Reed, DT, Alabama

Reed would be a tremendous fit in Kansas City, as he has the power and speed to be a menace on defense.

Reed would fit in extremely well alongside Tamba Hali for the Chiefs, and would bolster an already outstanding pass rushing defensive line.

With the 29th Overall Pick, the Arizona Cardinals select: Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State

The Cardinals need another pass rusher, so Lee is the perfect pick here. Lee would be the perfect replacement for Dwight Freeney at linebacker, and could prove to be even better than he was last season.

If the Cardinals want to remain ahead of the Seahawks in the NFC West, Lee should be the pick here.

With the 30th Overall Pick, the Carolina Panthers select: Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech

The Panthers cannot go into next season with Bene Benwikere as their number two cornerback if they want to be Super Bowl contenders next year. That makes Fuller a perfect fit in Carolina.

Fuller comes from an NFL family, as both of his brothers, Kyle and Corey Fuller, are on NFL roster as of now. If not for a knee injury that caused him to miss the final nine games of his season, he could have been a top 15 pick. With the potential to be a lockdown NFL corner, the Panthers must jump on the opportunity to take him.

With the 31st Overall Pick, the Denver Broncos select: Shon Coleman, T, Auburn

For the reigning Super Bowl champions, one position that they must address in the offseason is their offensive line, tackle in particular. Shon Coleman from Auburn has the potential to be a Pro Bowl tackle in the NFL, and should figure to be a great pass blocker for quarterback Brock Osweiler for years to come.

Round 2

With the 32nd Overall Pick, the Cleveland Browns select Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame

Fuller will give new QB Jared Goff a reliable target on the outside and will provide the Browns with a solid quarterback and wide receiver duo.

With the 33rd Overall Pick, the Tennessee Titans select Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State

The Titans must get protection for Marcus Mariota, and with Whitehair available at this point in the draft, this pick is a no-brainer.

With the 34th Overall Pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson

Adding Clemson’s Dodd to a Cowboys defensive line that should have a healthy Randy Gregory next season will give them a solid young duo of players that can rush the passer with ease.

With the 35th Overall Pick, the San Diego Chargers select Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky

Improving a mediocre pass rush is a must in San Diego, making the addition of Noah Spence a must.

With the 36th Overall Pick, the Baltimore Ravens select Maliek Collins, DT, Nebraska

The Ravens struggled mightily due to their inability to stop the run last season. Nebraska’s Maliek Collins is the perfect pick here, as he specializes in filling the gaps and shutting down the rushing attack of opposing teams.

With the 37th Overall Pick, the San Francisco 49ers select Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana State

Butler is a solid addition here for the 49ers, as he will fill a huge need for them on their defensive line.

With the 38th Overall Pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia

The addition of Floyd will give the Jaguars another solid linebacker to play alongside Paul Posluzny. Floyd could be the missing piece in a Jaguars defense that needs to improve in order for Jacksonville to be in the chase for the AFC South title.

With the 39th Overall Pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select John Theus, OT, Georgia

Similar to the Titans taking Whitehair, Theus will provide franchise quarterback Jameis Winston with more time in the pocket and will also help open up more running lanes for Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin.

With the 40th Overall Pick, the New York Giants select Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor

The Giants already added Shaq Lawson in this mock draft, so why not add another player to bolster their defensive line? They have no major needs outside of defensive line, so Billings is the pick here for a new-look Giants defense.

With the 41st Overall Pick, the Chicago Bears select Tyler Boyd, WR, Pitt

With star wide receiver Alshon Jeffery set to hit free agency, the Bears must be prepared to play without him. Adding Boyd here will give the Bears a young nucleus of receivers with Marques Wilson and last year’s first round pick Kevin White still on the team.

With the 42nd Overall Pick, the Miami Dolphins select Vadal Alexander, OG, LSU

The Dolphins were unable to protect quarterback Ryan Tannehill at all last season, and must be able to in order to compete in a tough AFC East, thus making LSU’s Vadal Alexander the perfect pick here.

With the 43rd Overall Pick, the Los Angeles Rams select Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State

Other than do-it-all receiver Tavon Austin, the Rams have no wide receivers that are reliable and have big play ability. Enter Braxton Miller, a former quarterback turned wide receiver who displayed both of those characteristics last season for Ohio State.

With the 44th Overall Pick, the Oakland Raiders select Su’a Cravens, S/LB, USC

The Raiders have a superstar in the making with Khalil Mack, but other than him they don’t have any solid linebackers. That makes Su’a Cravens the perfect pick here, as he has the athletic ability to be a Deone Bucannon type of player for the Raiders.

With the 45th Overall Pick, the Los Angeles Rams select Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama

The Rams struggled to protect all of their starting quarterbacks last season, so adding Kelly here is a must. He will provide the Rams with a reliable center for new quarterback Carson Wentz.

With the 46th Overall Pick, the Detroit Lions select Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State

With Calvin Johnson now retired, the Lions have no solid receivers outside of Golden Tate. In comes Michael Thomas, a reliable receiver that can make catches both easy and in traffic that displayed big play ability during his time at Ohio State.

With the 47th Overall Pick, the New Orleans Saints select Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State

If the Saints want to compete in the NFC South, they must bolster their pass rush. In comes Ogbah, a defensive end that thrives at getting to and pressuring the passer.

With the 48th Overall Pick, the Indianapolis Colts select Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

The Colts should not go into next season with Frank Gore as their feature back. Gore is no longer the type of player that could rack up 1,000+ yards in a season and carry his team like he did on the 49ers. That makes last year’s Heisman winner Derrick Henry the pick here. Henry should provide the Colts with the player that they were expecting to get when they acquired Trent Richardson from the Browns in 2013.

With the 49th Overall Pick, the Buffalo Bills select Jason Spriggs, T, Indiana

The Bills must be able to protect star quarterback Tyrod Taylor if they want to compete in the AFC East, thus making Spriggs the perfect pick here. Spriggs is a lineman that thrives at both run and pass blocking, which should also help Pro Bowl running back LeSean “Shady” McCoy tremendously.

With the 50th Overall Pick, the Atlanta Falcons select Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor

The Falcons had the lowest sack total of all teams in the NFL last season with only 19. This makes Baylor’s Shawn Oakman a must-add at this point in the draft, as his physical ability alone should boost Atlanta’s defensive line tremendously.

With the 51st Overall Pick, the New York Jets select Germain Ifedi, OG/T, Texas A&M

The Jets could use some help on their offensive line and should look to add a young and versatile lineman with this pick. In comes Ifedi, who has the ability to play either guard or tackle at a high level.

With the 52nd Overall Pick, the Houston Texans select Carl Nassib, DE, Penn State

With the Texans taking Connor Cook first round, they have solved their offensive puzzle for now. The Texans have yet to find another defensive end that can play at a high level alongside J.J. Watt, making Penn State’s Carl Nassib the move here. Nassib should fit in nicely with coach Bill O’Brien’s system considering he played under him during his first few years at Penn State.

With the 53rd Overall Pick, the Washington Redskins select Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame

The Redskins are in need of a center, and with Nick Martin available, they must jump at the opportunity to take him. Martin has the potential to be a Pro Bowl caliber center, and cannot be passed up on at this point in the draft.

With the 54th Overall Pick, the Minnesota Vikings select Vonn Bell, SS, Ohio State

This pick is all about getting the best player available, as the Vikings don’t have any pressing needs to address at this point in the draft. The best player at this point is Ohio State’s Vonn Bell, a player who shouldn’t see any significant playing time in his rookie year but can grow and learn under Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith.

With the 55th Overall Pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Shilique Calhoun, DE, Michigan State

The Bengals could use some help to their pass rush, so Calhoun is the perfect pick here. He should figure to be a solid pass rusher that can play alongside superstar Geno Atkins and Pro Bowler Carlos Dunlap.

With the 56th Overall Pick, the Seattle Seahawks select Le’Raven Clark, T, Texas Tech

The Seahawks need to bolster their offensive line desperately, thus making them reach on Clark in the second round. Clark has the potential to be the best offensive lineman in the entire draft, but could also end up being one of the worst in the draft. The risk is worth the potential reward for Seattle here, and the addition of Clark will help improve a rather shaky Seahawks line.

With the 57th Overall Pick, the Green Bay Packers select Joshua Perry, OLB, Ohio State

The Packers could improve their linebacker core, and adding Joshua Perry with this pick would give them a solid player to play alongside Pro Bowler Clay Matthews.

With the 58th Overall Pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas

With the retirement of longtime Steelers tight end Heath Miller, taking Hunter Henry here is a must. Henry has the potential to be a Pro Bowl caliber tight end, and will bolster an already volatile Steelers offense.

With the 59th Overall Pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select Darian Thompson, FS, Boise State

The selection of Thompson here is essentially a pick for the future, as they already have Tyvon Branch and Eric Berry starting at safety. Thompson could learn and mature behind both players and has the potential to be a solid starter in the future.

With the 60th Overall Pick, the New England Patriots select Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma

If Shepard is available at this point in the draft, the Patriots should jump at the opportunity to add him to their roster. The Patriots struggled mightily last season when Julian Edelman was out with a foot injury, so adding Shepard will give superstar quarterback Tom Brady another weapon that he can use along with star tight end Rob Gronkowski and Edelman.

With the 61st Overall Pick, the Arizona Cardinals select Jalen Mills, CB, LSU

Outside of Patrick Peterson, the Arizona Cardinals do not have any shut down corners. Mills has the potential to be a star, and will add another LSU product to a secondary that already has Tyronn Mathieu and Peterson.

With the 62nd Overall Pick, the Carolina Panthers select Pharoh Cooper, WR, South Carolina

After seeing what MVP quarterback Cam Newton could do with an offense where his #1 receiver was Ted Ginn, Jr., one can only imagine what he could do with a solid young receiver. The addition of Cooper would strengthen a receiving core that is also expecting Kelvin Benjamin to return from a torn ACL and has a potential star in Devin Funchess.

With the 63rd Overall Pick, the Denver Broncos select Austin Johnson, DT, Penn State

If the Broncos lose Malik Jackson in the offseason, they must have a player on their roster to step in and product. Penn State’s Austin Johnson is that player, as he is an NFL ready talent that can step in as a starter and produce from day one.

Round 3

With the 64th Overall Pick, the Tennessee Titans select Adolphus Washington, DT, Ohio State

With the 65th Overall Pick, the Cleveland Browns select Kenny Lawler, WR, Cal

With the 66th Overall Pick, the San Diego Chargers select Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado State

With the 67th Overall Pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State

With the 68th Overall Pick, the San Francisco 49ers select Scooby Wright, ILB, Arizona

With the 69th Overall Pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Sheldon Day, DT, Notre Dame

With the 70th Overall Pick, the Baltimore Ravens select Jeremy Cash, S, Duke

With the 71st Overall Pick, the New York Giants select Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State

With the 72nd Overall Pick, the Chicago Bears select William Jackson III, CB, Houston

With the 73rd Overall Pick, the Miami Dolphins select Devontae Booker, RB, Utah

With the 74th Overall Pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Kyler Fackrell, OLB, Utah Stat

With the 75th Overall Pick, the Oakland Raiders select Austin Hooper, TE, Stanford

With the 76th Overall Pick, the Los Angeles Rams select Artie Burns, CB, Miami (FL)

With the 77th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Roberto Aguayo, K, Florida State

With the 78th Overall Pick, the New Orleans Saints select Aaron Burbridge, WR, Michigan State

With the 79th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor

With the 80th Overall Pick, the Buffalo Bills select Leonte Carroo, WR, Rutgers

With the 81st Overall Pick, the Atlanta Falcons select Jerald Hawkins, OT, LSU

With the 82nd Overall Pick, the Indianapolis Colts select, Will Redmond, CB, Mississippi State

With the 83rd Overall Pick, the New York Jets select Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State

With the 84th Overall Pick, the Washington Redskins select Dominique Alexander, ILB, Oklahoma

With the 85th Overall Pick, the Houston Texans select Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas

With the 86th Overall Pick, the Minnesota Vikings select Deion Jones, OLB, LSU

With the 86th Overall Pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU

With the 88th Overall Pick, the Green Bay Packers select Landon Turner, OG, North Carolina

With the 89th Overall Pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Christian Westerman, OG, Arizona State

With the 90th Overall Pick, the Seattle Seahawks select Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana

With the 91st Overall Pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select Jordan Jenkins, OLB, Georgia

With the 92nd Overall Pick, the New England Patriots select Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech

With the 93rd Overall Pick, the Arizona Cardinals select Nick Vannett, TE, Ohio State

With the 94th Overall Pick, the Carolina Panthers select Cardale Jones, QB, Ohio State

With the 95th Overall Pick, the Denver Broncos select Kentrell Brothers, ILB, Missouri
