    2020 NFL draft tracker: Third-round picks

    65. Cincinnati Bengals – Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming: He averaged 100 tackles per season in college and could make Bengals fans forget Vontaze Burfict (in case they hadn't already). Wilson and free agent addition Josh Bynes give Cincinnati a nice makeover at linebacker.

    66. Washington Redskins – Antonio Gibson, WR, Memphis: Versatile player who also lined up at running back, there are definitely snaps to be had at Washington's skill positions. Gibson, who caught 38 passes in 2019 and rushed 33 times – he averaged 15.5 yards per touch – seems more likely to feature his game-breaking abilities as the No. 2 wideout next to second-year man Terry McLaurin.

    67. Detroit Lions – Julian Okwara, OLB, Notre Dame: He joins older brother Romeo, a defensive end, in Motown. Julian is the versatile kind of player Matt Patricia wants in his defense but projects as an edge presence after tallying 13 sacks the past two seasons.

    68. New York Jets (from New York Giants) – Ashtyn Davis, S, California: Good athlete who projects as a third safety behind Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye and should also contribute in nickel packages and special teams. This was the pick acquired in the Leonard Williams deal.

    69. Seattle Seahawks (from Carolina Panthers) – Damien Lewis, G, LSU: A long-suspect offensive line was especially vulnerable inside last year, plagued by injuries and ineffectiveness. Lewis could compete for a starting job quickly coming over from the reigning national champs.

    70. Miami Dolphins – Brandon Jones, S, Texas: Presumably set at corner, the Fins now invest at safety with a versatile player who is comfortable at every level of the field.

    71. Baltimore Ravens (from Los Angeles Chargers via New England Patriots) – Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M: Nice pickup for a defense remaking its front after a dreadful showing in the playoff loss to Tennessee. Madubuike likely rotates in behind Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe as a rookie but could pay immediate dividends.

    72. Arizona Cardinals – Josh Jones, OT, Houston: Many mock drafts pegged the Cards to a tackle in Round 1, so landing Jones in Round 3 is a pretty decent consolation. He's got a chance to beat out veteran Marcus Gilbert for the starting job on the right side.

    73. Jacksonville Jaguars – Davon Hamilton, DT, Ohio State: Fills a need for a team which lost Calais Campbell and Marcell Dareus this offseason. If Hamilton is active inside, Josh Allen, K'Lavon Chaisson and (maybe) Yannick Ngakoue will be more effective rushing the passer.

    74. New Orleans Saints (from Cleveland Browns) – Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin: Multi-talented defender who brings versatile element to the second level of a Saints defense that otherwise has very few holes. Good value pick.

    75. Detroit Lions (from Indianapolis Colts) – Jonah Jackson, G, Ohio State: Not all of the Lions' struggles running the ball are due to the shortcoming of the backs. Jackson has a chance to claim a starting job right away.

    76. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ke'Shawn Vaughn, RB, Vanderbilt: He averaged 6.4 yards per carry on an SEC team and caught 28 passes last year. Every chance to challenge for playing time with the Bucs, who ranked 24th running the ball last year and appear very much headed for a committee situation.

    77. Denver Broncos – Michael Ojemudia, CB, Iowa: At 6-1 and 200 pounds with 4.4 speed, he possesses good measurables. And this secondary is in flux, CB A.J. Bouye arriving via trade, while slot CB Chris Harris Jr. bolted to the Chargers. Ojemudia, with three INTs each of the last two seasons, should see plenty of snaps in a division poised to sling the ball.

    78. Atlanta Falcons – Matt Hennessy, C, Temple: Solid, tough player at 6-4 and 307 pounds who might one day succeed Alex Mack, 34 ... unless Hennessy can prove he deserves playing time at guard on a line currently manned by five first-rounders.

    79. New York Jets – Jabari Zuniga, DE, Florida: He's 6-3, 264 pounds and collected 18½ sacks in four years for the Gators. Seems the Jets are always seeking pass-rush help and struck out badly in Round 3 last year with Zuniga's former teammate, Jachai Polite. Zuniga will be a better pick by merely making the roster.

    80. Las Vegas Raiders – Lynn Bowden, WR, Kentucky: Quite the Swiss Army knife for the Wildcats, playing receiver, running back and quarterback. Given how Vegas' depth chart shakes out, Bowden's likely to see most of his playing time at receiver but could also be quite the gadget man. Could push Hunter Renfrow in the slot.

    81. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chicago Bears) – Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina: A year after the Antonio Brown debacle, quite a makeover going on here at receiver (remember Henry Ruggs was the first-round choice). Edwards averaged nearly 60 receptions in four seasons with the Gamecocks.

    82. Dallas Cowboys – Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma: America's Team picks a Canadian. Gallimore likely won't do much for the pass rush here but could be a nice interior complement to veteran Gerald McCoy, an ex-Sooner himself likely to show his new teammate a few tricks. Gallimore's relentlessness may be his best attribute but there's more potential to unlock here.

    83. Denver Broncos (from Pittsburgh Steelers) – Lloyd Cushenberry III, C, LSU: Denver just signed C Graham Glasgow, who's likely to stay in the pivot. But Cushenberry and last year's second rounder, G Dalton Risner, should give the Broncos a pretty solid interior O-line for years to come. Drew Lock must be over the moon.

    84. Los Angeles Rams – Terrell Lewis, OLB, Alabama: Should fill a need and play extensively with the departures of Clay Matthews, Dante Fowler and Cory Littleton. Posted 11½ TFLs and six sacks last year after missing the previous year with an ACL tear.

    85. Indianapolis Colts (from Philadelphia Eagles via Detroit Lions) – Julian Blackmon, S, Utah: At minimum, provides safety depth, where Malik Hooker has been nicked up and not the impact player the team expected of a first-rounder. Blackmon might also find himself in the box or even in the slot at times.

    86. Buffalo Bills – Zack Moss, RB, Utah: Replaces Frank Gore as the hammer element of this ground game. At 5-10, 223 pounds and coming off three consecutive 1,000-plus-yard seasons for the Utes, Moss could even relegate Devin Singletary to third-down duties.

    87. New England Patriots – Anfernee Jennings, LB, Alabama: The perennial AFC East champs continue restocking their defense. Built similar to Dont'a Hightower, Jennings could find himself lining up alongside and maybe replacing the fellow former Tide backer. Jennings overcame a serious knee injury to be an all-SEC selection in 2019, when he had eight sacks.

    88. Cleveland Browns (from New Orleans Saints) – Jordan Elliott, DL, Missouri: He'll clean up some sacks but isn't a great pass rusher. Still, could bolster the interior rotation on Cleveland's front.

    89. Minnesota Vikings – Cameron Dantzler, CB, Mississippi State: The Vikes continue to restock at corner after getting Jeff Gladney in Round 1. Dantzler has the size (6-2, 188) and tenacity Mike Zimmer tends to favor.

    90. Houston Texans – Jonathan Greenard, LB, Florida: He notched 10 sacks for the Gators a year ago, production the Texans could use after failing to get much outside of OLB Whitney Mercilus in 2019.

    91. New England Patriots (from Seattle Seahawks via Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders) – Devin Asiasi, TE, UCLA: After officially parting with Rob Gronkowski, the Pats address a position that was a wasteland in 2019. Asiasi emerged with 44 grabs for 641 yards last year and has a chance to become fast friends with Jarrett Stidham.

    92. Baltimore Ravens – Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas: He had a massive senior season (106 catches, 1,386 yards, 9 TDs) and could be one of the draft's best value picks so far. Baltimore is built to run but could also use a consistent complement to deep threat Hollywood Brown, the only Ravens wideout with as many as 40 catches and 500 yards in 2019. However Duvernay is pretty fast himself, blazing a 4.39 40 time in Indy. Speed, speed, speed in Charm City.

    93. Tennessee Titans – Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian State: Highly productive in 2019 with 1,480 yards on the ground and 18 TDs. Should be quite a changeup to RB Derrick Henry and maybe his successor if the Titans don't manage to extend last year's rushing champ beyond 2020.

    94. Green Bay Packers – Josiah Deguara, TE, Cincinnati: Could vie with 2019 third-rounder Jace Sternberger to be Aaron Rodgers' primary tight end option in the wake of Jimmy Graham's departure. Deguara has 77 catches since 2018.

    95. Denver Broncos (from San Francisco 49ers) – McTelvin Agim, DT, Arkansas: Vic Fangio needed to inject some youth into his D-line with all of the projected starters 29 or older.

    96. Kansas City Chiefs – Lucas Niang, OT, TCU: The champs could use a swing tackle after allowing Cameron Erving to walk.

    x – 97. Cleveland Browns (from Houston Texans) – Jacob Phillips, ILB, LSU: Could vie for starting duties with Joe Schobert off to Jacksonville.

    x – 98. Baltimore Ravens (from New England Patriots) – Malik Harrison, ILB, Ohio State: He and fellow rookie Patrick Queen could be the new starters at the second level for a defense in the midst of a fairly significant retool.

    x – 99. New York Giants – Matt Peart, OT, Connecticut: After taking Andrew Thomas in Round 1, the G-Men may have their tackle combo of the future. Peart is impressively built at 6-7, 318 pounds, however he's likely not ready to step in and start yet.

    x – 100. Las Vegas Raiders (from New England Patriots) – Tanner Muse, S, Clemson: Should provide depth and special teams off the bat as the Raiders continue to resemble Clemson-West.

    x – 101. New England Patriots (from Seattle Seahawks via New York Jets) – Dalton Keene, TE, Virginia Tech: A little odd as the Jets ship this pick to their division rivals, who continue to reload at tight end post-Gronk. Keene is a typical Patriot pick given his ability to play tight end and fullback.

    x – 102. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alex Highsmith, OLB, Charlotte: What a senior season, Highsmith posting 21½ TFLs and 14 sacks. Could be quite an effective situational rusher early and might eventually displace franchise player Bud Dupree, who isn't signed beyond 2021.

    x – 103. Philadelphia Eagles – Davion Taylor, LB, Colorado: Small (6-0, 228) but with 4.4 speed, he should address a glaring area of need in Philly.

    x – 104. Los Angeles Rams – Terrell Burgess, S, Utah: The Rams just lost former Utes S Eric Weddle to retirement, but go back to the well for another. Burgess could also line up in the slot.

    x – 105. New Orleans Saints (from Minnesota Vikings) – Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton: The Saints clearly wanted him, giving up four late picks for the 6-5, 255-pounder who snared 70 passes last year for 916 yards and 14 TDs. Jared Cook is likely entering his final year with New Orleans.

    x – 106. Baltimore Ravens – Tyre Phillips, OL, Mississippi State: A 6-5, 331-pounder who played left tackle for the Bulldogs, could he get a look inside in Baltimore after G Marshal Yanda retired?
