The Tennessee Titans selected Georgia linebacker Monty Rice with the No. 92 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Rice has great instincts at the position and plenty of technique and durability to make a name for himself in the NFL. In nine games in his senior season for the Bulldogs, Rice had 49 tackles (four for loss)

The Cleveland Browns selected Auburn wide receiver Anthony Schwartz with the No. 91 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday. Schwartz’s game is all about speed, giving Cleveland a home run threat with world-class speed to burn. The speed is great, but he’s a raw developmental project from a route-running perspective. Schwartz is an interesting weapon, but it’s unclear

The Minnesota Vikings selected Pittsburgh edge rusher Patrick Jones II with the No. 90 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. It’s no surprise that the Vikings are focusing heavily on their defense in this year’s draft after they were highly disappointing in 2020. Jones is a little on the small side (6-foot-5, 260 pounds) for an edge

The Houston Texans selected Michigan wide receiver Nico Collins with the No. 89 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Houston traded up to draft Collins. The Texans were expected to address the receiver position after Will Fuller V left in free agency, so Collins should be able to make an immediate impact in Houston alongside Brandin Cooks.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Illinois offensive lineman Kendrick Green with the No. 87 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Green should become the instant starter under center for the Steelers next season, snapping balls for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He can also play guard, which gives the Steelers some flexibility. Green is explosive and naturally long at 6-foot-4,

The Minnesota Vikings selected Ohio State offensive lineman Wyatt Davis with the No. 86 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Davis is a balanced interior blocker. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder wasn’t as good last year as he was in 2019, but his athleticism should serve him well in the NFL and he fits the Vikings scheme well. If

The Green Bay Packers selected Clemson wide receiver Amari Rodgers with the No. 85 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. The Packers traded up to make this pick. Rodgers has the athleticism to get open underneath and tracks the ball well downfield. He’s been compared to a poor man’s Deebo Samuel. But at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, his

The Dallas Cowboys selected Iowa edge rusher Chauncey Golston with the No. 84 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Golston has excellent hands and is a big body at 6-foot-5, 270 pounds. However, he doesn’t have a ton of athleticism and lacks spring and bend around the edge. Because Golston probably won’t have a ton of success

The Carolina Panthers selected Notre Dame tight end Tommy Tremble with the No. 83 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Tremble is an athletic blocking specialist who has the skills to be more of a receiving tight end at the next level. Because he also excels at blocking, he’ll be more of an underneath threat with the

The Washington Football Team selected North Carolina wide receiver Dyami Brown with the No. 82 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Brown loves to go deep down the field on vertical routes and is great with contested catches down the field. Despite being just 6-foot, 185 pounds, he’s been able to beat press coverage and is physical

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Virginia Tech safety Divine Deablo with the No. 80 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. It’s back-to-back defensive picks for the Silver and Black after they took edge rusher Malcolm Koonce at No. 79. Deablo has a high floor as smart and experienced safety/linebacker hybrid. He’s one of the best overall safety/linebacker

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Buffalo edge rusher Malcolm Koonce with the No. 79 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Koonce has excellent bend around the edge and is a super flexible pass-rusher with long arms. He stands at 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, though, so he’ll need to add some strength to give him more burst at the

The San Francisco 49ers have used the No. 89 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Ohio State running back Trey Sermon. This is a nice landing spot for Sermon, as head coach Kyle Shanahan has shown he wants to run the ball in San Fran, and the addition of quarterback Trey Lance should help the passing game, forcing defenses to run lighter fronts against

The Minnesota Vikings selected North Carolina linebacker Chazz Surratt with the No. 78 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Surratt is a converted quarterback who has turned some heads at linebacker the last two seasons. He plays at 120 percent intensity and loves to blitz. There have been some tackling issues, but he also has the fluidity

The New Orleans Saints selected Stanford cornerback Paulson Adebo with the No. 76 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Adebo is a lengthy ball hawk at 6-foot-1, 192 pounds. He isn’t all that agile, but he makes up for it by reading the opposing quarterbacks eyes and is very savvy at picking up route combinations. Adebo’s best

The Dallas Cowboys selected UCLA edge rusher Osa Odighizuwa with the No. 75 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Odighizuwa gets excellent leverage on his offensive line opponents and drives them backwards. He could improve on his hand work, and he has some pretty good athleticism at 6-foot-2, 279 pounds. Odighizuwa doesn’t exactly stand out on first

The Washington Football Team selected Minnesota cornerback Benjamin St-Juste with the No. 74 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. St-Juste is long and athletic at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and glides around the secondary with his length. Because of his size, he won’t be the fastest defensive back on the field, but he makes up for his lack

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Louisiana Tech defensive lineman Milton Williams with the No. 73 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Williams is an incredible athlete at the defensive tackle spot and uses his hands really well to fight off offensive linemen. The problem with him is that he faced lesser competition in college and wasn’t really a

With the 81st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Boston College tight end Hunter Long. Long had 57 catches for 685 yards and five touchdowns last season and was one of the top receiving tight ends in college football. But the Dolphins already have Mike Gesicki at tight end, making this a bit of a strange fit for Long. Still,

The Detroit Lions selected North Carolina State defensive lineman Alim McNeill with the No. 72 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. McNeill has a devastating first step and great bull rush as an athletic nose tackle. However, he’ll need to be coached up at the next level to develop some more moves to elude offensive linemen. The
