NFL Draft 2015: Round 3, Picks 17-35
Pick (Rnd)
17 (3) |
John Miller, G, Louisville |
| Can compete for a starting job in Buffalo's wafer-thin offensive line. | |
18 (3) |
Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisville |
| Two straight Cardinals; this guy has the right size but needs to work on reading the QB. Slight reach here but fills a need for the Jets. | |
19 (3) |
Craig Mager, CB, Texas St |
| Very raw but has plenty of physicality. Should be a spot player and special teams contributor. | |
20 (3) |
Jordan Hicks, LB, Texas |
| A big leader who will file behind Kiko Alonso this season for depth. Injury is a concern for Hicks. | |
21 (3) |
Tyler Kroft, TE, Rutgers |
| Only the 3rd TE taken, has good blocking skills and is a better pass catcher than his stats show. | |
22 (3) |
David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa |
| His pass game, blocking, and speed can make him the next Le'Veon Bell. Should be a great compliment to Andre Ellington. | |
23 (3) |
Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn |
| Elite speed and size, great for yards after catch, but the catching is the hard part. | |
24 (3) |
Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU |
| Tremendous size and speed, all the skills are there but he may have trouble adapting to the NFL game. | |
25 (3) |
Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon St |
| Great at reads but has to decide more quickly to remove mistakes. | |
26 (3) |
Carl Davis, DT, Iowa |
| Fantastic value for Ozzie Newsome here, great physicality just needs the experience. | |
27 (3) |
Chaz Green, T, Florida |
| Green at right tackle is a great piece for Dallas's young and stellar offensive line. | |
28 (3) |
Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio St |
| Can beat CBs in the slot, supreme athleticism who has to work on his hands. | |
29 (3) |
Henry Anderson, DE, Stanford |
| Huge pass rusher with great strength. Can start right away in the Colts' ever-evolving defense. | |
30 (3) |
Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford |
| Can start with returns, but on the outside looking in after a rough 2014 season. | |
31 (3) |
Matt Jones, RB, Florida |
| Big dude with lots of upside. Can run down your throat but has to get better at finding holes. | |
32 (3) |
Xavier Cooper, DT, Washington St |
| Fantastic vision and upside to cement a better DT slot as Cooper follows Danny Shelton from Round 1 to Cleveland. | |
33* (3) |
Geno Grissom, DE, Oklahoma |
| Versatile pass rusher who can play anywhere in the front seven. | |
34* (3) |
Steven Nelson, CB, Oregon St |
| Small corner but fiery player who will help in Kansas City. | |
35* (3) |
Paul Dawson, LB, TCU |
| Solid size and athleticism, he is one of the most natural linebackers in this draft. Fell from attitude concerns. |
