Jordan Zimmermann Injured In Poor Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann left his start against the Red Sox on Thursday after only three innings with right elbow pain. Zimmermann had Tommy John surgery in 2009. The right-hander allowed five runs on Thursday for the fourth straight start after he flirted with a no-hitter in his first start of 2019. He's […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Injured Thursday

Texas Rangers third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera left the game early on Thursday with left calf tightness. He will be re-evaluated and we'll likely know more on Friday, but there's a good chance that he'll need to go on the injured list. Cabrera was hitless in his lone plate appearances on Thursday. The veteran utility man […]

Jay Bruce Expected To Return Friday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce (quadriceps) said he's feeling good and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against Rangers starter Shelby Miller. The Mariners gave Bruce an extra day to rest up on Thursday to make sure he's 100 percent. Bruce leads the team with nine home runs but is hitting […]

Rougned Odor To Return On Friday

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (hamstring) had a double and a home run with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday and will come off the injured list on Friday. Hopefully his big night on his rehab assignment will translate to the big leagues, as Odor has been pretty bad this year in his 42 at-bats, hitting […]

Patriots Finish First Round With N'keal Harry

The New England Patriots selected Arizona State wide receiver N'keal Harry with the No. 32 pick overall in the 2019 NFL draft.

Atlanta Takes Kaleb Mcgary At No. 31

The Atlanta Falcons traded up with the Rams and selected Washington offensive tackle Kaleb Mcgary with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Mcgary doesn't have great length but is physical and is just a solid athlete overall. The Falcons really put an emphasis on their offensive line in the first round, […]

Giants Trade Up And Take Deandre Baker

The New York Giants traded up with the Seahawks and selected Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

The Seattle Seahawks selected Texas Christian defensive end L.J. Collier with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The Seahawks acquired this pick by sending defensive end Frank Clark to the Chiefs this week. Collier doesn't have elite speed, but he has excellent technique off the edge and produced in college. After […]

Chargers Draft Jerry Tillery Late In First Round

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame defensive tackle Jerry Tillery with the No. 28 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Tillery has a high football IQ and is extremely athletic.

Raiders Finish Their First Round With Johnathan Abram

The Oakland Raiders selected Mississippi State safety Johnathan Abram with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. This is the selection that Oakland gained from the Cowboys when they traded receiver Amari Cooper last season. Abram had some really good seasons in college and welcomes contact in the secondary. He's a very […]

Redskins Pick Up Montez Sweat At No. 26 Overall

The Washington Redskins traded up with the Colts and selected Mississippi State edge rusher Montez Sweat with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Sweat's draft stock dropped significantly because of a heart issue that made many teams take him off their draft boards entirely. He showed excellent combine speed and has […]

Marquise Brown Taken By Ravens In First Round

The Baltimore Ravens selected Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Hollywood Brown is cousins with Antonio Brown and has blazing speed. However, he's dealing with a Lisfranc foot injury and it's unknown if he'll be ready for training camp. Brown is electric with the ball […]

The Oakland Raiders selected Alabama running back Josh Jacobs with the No. 24 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

Texans Take Tytus Howard At No. 23 Overall

The Houston Texans selected Alabama State offensive tackle Tytus Howard with the No. 23 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Quarterback Deshaun Watson was sacked the most in the NFL in 2018, so you could say they've had trouble protecting their signal-caller. He has the feet, balance and athleticism to play in the NFL. […]

Eagles Trade Up For Andre Dillard

The Philadelphia Eagles traded with the Ravens and selected Washington State offensive tackle Andre Dillard with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2019 draft. Dillard is excellent at pass protection, so he'll be tasked with keeping quarterback Carson Wentz healthy for an entire season. His arm length is suspect and could hurt him, but […]

The Green Bay Packers traded up with the Seahawks and selected Maryland safety Darnell Savage with the No. 21 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. It's Green Bay's second pick of the first round on Thursday night. Savage is extremely versatile and had seven interceptions the last two years with excellent ball skills in […]

The Denver Broncos selected Iowa tight end Noah Fant with the No. 20 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

Titans Go With Jeffery Simmons At No. 19

The Tennessee Titans selected Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Simmons was found guilty of malicious mischief in 2016 in an incident that involved several women, which is why he fell in the first round this year. Off-field issues aside, Simmons is a good […]

The Minnesota Vikings selected North Carolina State center Garrett Bradbury with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He's the first center off the board in the 2019 draft.

Panthers Draft Brian Burns With Pick No. 16

The Carolina Panthers selected Florida State edge rusher Brian Burns with the No. 16 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Burns will bring the heat off the edge for the Panthers in his rookie season.

Redskins Take Dwayne Haskins At No. 15

The Washington Redskins selected Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the No. 15 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. The Redskins wanted to potentially move up into the top 10 to take Haskins, but they didn't even have to move at all to get him. Some teams didn't even have a first-round grade on […]

Chris Lindstrom Goes To Falcons 14th Overall

The Atlanta Falcons selected Boston College offensive guard Chris Lindstrom with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Lindstrom was extremely durable in college and should bring stability to a Falcons offensive line that has been pretty solid in its own right in the last few years. He played some tackle in […]

Christian Wilkins Selected 13th Overall Thursday

The Miami Dolphins selected Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He becomes the second Clemson defensive lineman to go in the first round this evening behind Clelin Ferrell, who went to the Raiders at No. 4. Wilkins might've been Clemson's best defensive lineman, though, and […]

Packers Grab Rashan Gary At No. 12 Overall

The Green Bay Packers selected Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary with the 12th overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. He's the second Michigan player to be taken in the first round of this draft, following Devin Bush. The knock on Gary is that he never really panned out as the No. 1 college recruit […]

Jonah Williams Goes To Bengals 11th Overall

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Alabama offensive guard Jonah Williams with the No. 11 pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Williams was a rock on the offensive line for Alabama in his three seasons as the starter. Cincinnati could really use some offensive line help for their running game and to keep quarterback Andy Dalton upright. […]

Steelers Draft Devin Bush At No. 10 Overall

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up with the Broncos and selected Michigan linebacker Devin Bush with the No. 10 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

Bills Select Ed Oliver At No. 9 Overall

The Buffalo Bills selected Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The 300-pounder will help the Bills replace Kyle Williams on the defensive line.

Lions Take T.J. Hockenson At No. 8 Overall

The Detroit Lions selected Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson with the No. 8 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. He becomes only the fourth tight end in history to go in the top 10 picks. The Lions also selected Eric Ebron in the top 10 picks just a few years ago, but they saw […]

Jaguars Go With Josh Allen At No. 7 Overall

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Allen was considered the best edge rusher in this draft, so the Jags could have a very nice steal on their hands with this pick. He had 17 sacks in his final season in college […]
