Round 3, Pick 75:

1. Denzel Mims, Baylor

2. Bryan Edwards, South Carolina

3. Van Jefferson, Florida

4. Tee Higgins, Clemson

The third round presents a good number of names for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 NFL Draft. There are still impact players on the board at this point, so let’s take a look.

Denzel Mims has been a hot name in draft circles for a while. He’s consistently gotten better as a route runner in his time at Baylor, and looked more comfortable at creating separation in different ways. He can stack corners vertically and possesses strong hands and good body control. Mims is also physical enough to work through contact.

Bryan Edwards isn’t someone Colts fans will get to see work out at the combine after an injury, but he should still be on the radar. Like Mims, he’s definitely improved with his footwork and route running, and it shows. He’s more explosive in an out of breaks and has looked better on multi-breaking routes.

Florida’s Van Jefferson certainly got attention at the Senior Bowl, as he consistently beat defensive backs off the line of scrimmage with great footwork and discipline. Jefferson never tips his hand against his opponents, making him dangerous. He doesn’t threaten teams vertically, but he’s a quick separator.

Tee Higgins won’t likely be available at this spot, but here is where he’s valued at this point. Higgins is best as a jump ball receiver with strong hands who can adjust to the ball. There’s some promise in his route running and release, but he’s not someone the Colts should target early.
