Day Three Picks

Fifth round (projected compensatory pick): Reggie Robinson, CB, Tulsa

A super-talented athlete, Reggie Robinson III had a tremendous finish to his career at Tulsa with three interceptions and 13 pass breakups.

He has the athletic skills to be molded into a starting-caliber cornerback at the NFL level.

The Broncos add some depth to their secondary here on day three of the draft with both fourth-round picks gone via trade.

Sixth round: Trey Adams, OT, Washington

Although Adams has a concerning injury history, he’s shown first-round talent at the left tackle position in the past.

After adding Robert Hunt earlier, the Broncos get another big body to try and develop on the offensive line in a deep draft class up front.

Seventh round: Darrion Daniels, DL, Nebraska

Nebraska has a few draft-eligible defensive linemen worth considering in the later rounds of the draft, but Daniels has intriguing size, strength, and athletic ability.

He could be molded under Vic Fangio and Bill Kollar into a tremendous asset up front with his energy on the interior.

Seventh round (projected compensatory pick): Tanner Muse, S/LB, Clemson

Although pretty much every other defender on Clemson’s defense got the headlines, Tanner Muse has been a really key piece for them and he showed NFL-caliber athleticism at the Scouting Combine.

With four interceptions over the last two seasons along with 191 career tackles, Muse has the instincts and athleticism to be a top-flight special teams player and nickel/box safety at the NFL level.

Seventh round (projected compensatory pick): Javelin Guidry, CB, Utah

Running a 4.29 will certainly get you noticed.

Although Javelin Guidry has three years of production at Utah to stand on, he’s going to be best known for his big-time speed.

How about starting and ending the 2020 NFL Draft with the two fastest guys in it on either side of the ball? This would be a fun way to end a defensive-centric day three of the 2020 NFL Draft.
