3rd Round: Picks 95-100

95. Denver Broncos: Michael Schofield, T/G, Michigan. Denver’s weakness is along the interior offensive line, so I’m guessing they’re drafting Schofield as a guard.

96. Minnesota Vikings: Jerick McKinnon (pictured above), RB, Georgia Southern. A versatile player, who played running back, cornerback and quarterback in college. An explosive athlete, that will need time to polish his game, but will help immediately on special teams.

97. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dri Archer, RB, Kent State. The fastest player at the combine will help immediately as a returner and all-purpose player. The Steelers will be creative in finding ways to get the ball.

98. Green Bay Packers: Richard Rodgers, TE, California. Fills a need area for the Packers, who need a replacement for the departing Jermichael Finley.

99. Baltimore Ravens: Crockett Gillmore, TE, Colorado State. Similar to Fiedorowicz, in that he’s a dual-threat tight end.

100. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Thomas, G, Clemson. Much like they did with Marcus Lattimore, the Niners get great value for the future with a guard who would’ve been a first-rounder had he been healthy.
