The Seattle Seahawks traded up with the Patriots and selected Mississippi wide receiver D.K. Metcalf with the No. 64 overall pick (last pick in second round) in the 2019 NFL draft.

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 […]

Chiefs Trade Up And Take Mecole Hardman

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.

Vikings Take Irv Smith At No. 50

The Minnesota Vikings selected Alabama tight end Irv Smith with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Smith runs good routes, has strong hands and has plenty of after-the-catch upside.

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.

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up with the Raiders and selected Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor with the No. 35 overall pick in the start of the second round of the 2019 NFL draft on Friday.

Contrary to a previous report, there is little to no trade interest in Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Previous reports suggested that other teams were interested in trading for Harris, but he's likely to remain in Denver in 2019 if he's not traded on Friday during the draft. The Pro Bowl cornerback wants a […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup in center field and will hit seventh against Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu on Friday night.

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.
