Here are a few picks that I missed from earlier today:
Pick No. 122 Indianapolis Colts Jacob Eason QB, Washington
Quick thoughts: Eason started out his college at Georgia where he was actually pretty good and then was beat out by Jake Fromm (who ironically still hasn't been taken) and then transferred to Washington where he had a decent but not great year. There was actually talk of him going back to school to pump up his draft stock, but he decided to declare instead. Now, he'll be the understudy to Phil Rivers and possibly have a chance to succeed him. Eason has talent and if he can realize it, he'll be something special.
Pick No. 130 Minnesota Vikings James Lynch DE, Baylor
Quick thoughts: Lynch was the best player on what was a really good Baylor defense and more importantly was the DPOY in the whole Big 12 conference. As far as I'm concerned the Vikings got a steal. Fantabulous pick by them.
Pick No. 152 Carolina Panthers Kenny Robinson S, St. Louis Battlehawks
Quick thoughts: The only college player to go play for the XFL (RIP) Kenny Robinson was a solid player for the Battlehawks and I think he'll be a solid player for the Panthers. Solid pick by the Panthers.

Pick No. 165 Jacksonville Jaguars Colin Johnson WR, Texas
Quick thoughts: Johnson was part of the really good wideout core that the Longhorns had and I think that Gardner Minshew will be happy to have him to throw to.

Pick No. 167 Buffalo Bills Jake Fromm QB, Georgia
Quick thoughts: Jake Fromm one a whole lot of games in his 3 years at Georgia and his fall has surprising to SEC fans and fans of college football at large. He may not have been elite, but he got the job done and beat out Jacob Eason AND Justin Fields (who is currently star QB of Ohio State). You don't run out guys like that unless you are pretty good yourself. He'll be a great backup and I see him being a decent starter at some point in his career. Good pick by the Bills.

Pick. No 191 New York Jets Braden Mann P, Texas A&M
Quick thoughts: Mann a fantastic punter and one of the best players on Texas A&M. Special teams are underrated, but I won't underrate this pick. Nice pick by the Jets.

Pick No. 201 Baltimore Ravens James Proche WR, SMU
Quick thoughts: At SMU they called him Big Play Proche for a reason. He has hands and speed and is a flat out stud. It is absurd that he has fallen this far down and the Ravens are going to be SUPER happy to have him. This is the best pick of Day 3.

Pick No. 220 Los Angeles Chargers KJ Hill WR, Ohio State
Quick thoughts: KJ Hill was a big time player for the Buckeyes and was someone that you would think would go higher than Round 7. He didn't and the Chargers should be happy.

Pick No. 222 Arizona Cardinals Eno Benjamin RB, Arizona State
Quick thoughts: Benjamin was a great player for the Sun Devils and I think he has the potential to be a great weapon for the Cardinals.
