The Philadelphia Eagles selected Stanford wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside with the No. 57 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Arcega-Whiteside loves to win jump balls due to his basketball background, and it helps that he has very strong hands. He has plenty of speed to bring to the table as well. He'll likely struggle […]

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Rams and selected Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

The Denver Broncos traded up with the Bengals and selected Missouri quarterback Drew Lock with the No. 42 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft on Friday. Lock has a huge arm and can make all the necessary throws in the NFL, but he is a little raw and will need to be coached up […]

Niners Draft Deebo Samuel Friday

The San Francisco 49ers selected South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He has elite athleticism and is physical after the catch.

Lou Trivino Still Unavailable

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that relief pitcher Lou Trivino (thumb) is feeling better, but he's still unlikely to be available on Friday.

Ryan Carpenter Lined Up For Saturday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Ryan Carpenter is lined up to make a spot start against the White Sox on Saturday, but manager Ron Gardenhire doesn't think they'll play the game due to poor expected weather conditions.
