2014 NFL Draft Order: Day 3 List of Picks and Predictions

Just like that, three rounds of the 2014 NFL draft have come and gone.

Plenty of top-tier talent now have homes in the NFL; however, don't sleep on the late-round picks.

It's this point of the draft where teams can find a diamond in the rough and come away with a future All-Pro at a value price.

Plenty of current NFL stars have come from Round 4 through 7. Here's a quick glimpse: Geno Atkins was a fourth-round pick in 2010, Richard Sherman was a fifth-round pick in 2011, Tom Brady was a sixth-round pick in 2000 and Marques Colston was a seventh-round pick in 2006.

That's a pretty impressive list.

As teams delve into their big boards and prospects anxiously await their fates, let's take a look at the complete draft order for Day 3 and sprinkle in some predictions for good measure.

Prediction: T.J. Jones, WR, Notre Dame to Carolina Panthers

The Panthers grabbed Kelvin Benjamin in Round 1 to give Cam Newton a large target on the outside; however, this team needs more than just him.

Adding Jones to the mix will give the Panthers a reliable receiver to pair with their first-round selection. Jones is a solid route-runner and has good hands. He may not be a burner, but his solid fundamentals should find him a spot on the field.

Dane Brugler of CBS Sports tweeted his thoughts of Jones going in Round 4:

Great value for Carolina here.

Round 5

Round Pick	Overall Pick	Team
1	141	Philadelphia Eagles
2	142	Washington Redskins
3	143	Tampa Bay Buccaneers
4	144	Jacksonville Jaguars
5	145	Minnesota Vikings
6	146	Detroit Lions
7	147	Atlanta Falcons
8	148	Minnesota Vikings
9	149	Buffalo Bills
10	150	San Francisco 49ers
11	151	Tennessee Titans
12	152	New York Giants
13	153	Buffalo Bills
14	154	New York Jets
15	155	Miami Dolphins
16	156	Chicago Bears
17	157	Pittsburgh Steelers
18	158	Dallas Cowboys
19	159	Jacksonville Jaguars
20	160	Arizona Cardinals

26	166	Indianapolis Colts
27	167	New Orleans Saints
28	168	Carolina Panthers
29	169	New Orleans Saints
30	170	San Francisco 49ers
31	171	Miami Dolphins
32	172	Seattle Seahawks
33	173	Pittsburgh Steelers
34	174	New York Giants
35	175	Baltimore Ravens
36	176	Green Bay Packers

Prediction: De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon to Philadelphia Eagles

This just makes too much sense should Thomas fall to the fifth round.

Coming from Oregon's offense, Chip Kelly would love to acquire Thomas' elusive skill set. With great acceleration, solid hands out of the backfield and the ability to serve as a returner, Thomas would fit nicely as a rotational piece on the Eagles' high-octane offense.

Round 6

Round Pick	Overall Pick	Team
1	177	Houston Texans
2	178	Washington Redskins
3	179	New England Patriots
4	180	San Francisco 49ers
5	181	Houston Texans
6	182	Atlanta Falcons
7	183	Chicago Bears
8	184	Minnesota Vikings
9	185	Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10	186	Tennessee Titans
11	187	New York Giants
12	188	St. Louis Rams
13	189	Detroit Lions
14	190	Miami Dolphins
15	191	Chicago Bears
16	192	Pittsburgh Steelers
17	193	Kansas City Chiefs
18	194	Baltimore Ravens
19	195	New York Jets
20	196	Arizona Cardinals
21	197	Green Bay Packers
22	198	New England Patriots
23	199	Cincinnati Bengals
24	200	Kansas City Chiefs
25	201	San Diego Chargers
26	202	New Orleans Saints
27	203	Indianapolis Colts
28	204	Carolina Panthers
29	205	Jacksonville Jaguars
30	206	New England Patriots
31	207	Denver Broncos
32	208	Seattle Seahawks
33	209	New York Jets
34	210	New York Jets
35	211	Houston Texans
36	212	Cincinnati Bengals
37	213	New York Jets
38	214	St. Louis Rams
39	215	Pittsburgh Steelers

Prediction: Tyler Gaffney, RB, Stanford to New York Jets

With a plethora of picks near the end of the sixth round, the Jets shouldn't hesitate on selecting Gaffney here.

While the Jets acquired Chris Johnson over the offseason—and have a somewhat crowded backfield at the moment—the team lacks a workhorse like Gaffney.

Gaffney has the ability to pummel defenses and slowly wear them down throughout the course of a game. His presence will take a good deal of burden off Johnson and help the speed back find late-game holes through tired defensive lines.

After all, according to a tweet from Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego, Gaffney is confident about his future in the NFL:

39	254	Dallas Cowboys
40	255	Atlanta Falcons
41	256	Houston Texans

Prediction: Connor Shaw, QB, South Carolina to Jacksonville Jaguars

Even though Jacksonville grabbed Blake Bortles in Round 1, why not take a look at his long-term backup late in the draft?

Shaw is a good athlete who can extend plays with his legs and has shown efficiency as a passer. He'll need time to develop and fine-tune his skill set. With a similar style to Bortles, the offensive scheme would remain the same no matter who was under center.
