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 […]

Giants Select Daniel Jones At No. 6 Overall

The New York Giants selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones at No. 6 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. We knew that the Giants would be looking for Eli Manning's successor in this draft, we just weren't sure that they'd go with a QB with their first of two picks in the first round. Jones is […]

Buccaneers Draft Devin White At No. 5 Overall

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Louisiana State linebacker Devin White with the No. 5 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. The Bucs definitely need help all around on the defensive side of the ball, and White, an inside linebacker, will bring speed and productivity. He led the SEC with 123 tackles in 2018 and […]

Raiders Take Clelin Ferrell At No. 4 Overall

The Oakland Raiders selected Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Ferrell clearly has first-round talent, and he's a traditional 3-4 defensive end that should fit well in Oakland's defensive system. Some thought that Josh Allen was the best pure edge rusher in this draft, but […]

Jets Select Quinnen Williams At No. 3 Overall

The New York Jets selected Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Big Baby, a nose tackle, was considered by many to be the best overall prospect in this draft. He'll be a force to reckon with in the middle in the AFC East and will […]

49ers Go With Nick Bosa Second Overall

The San Francisco 49ers selected Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. The 49ers are quickly bolstering a pass rush that definitely needed it, and Bosa will surely help on the defensive side of the ball. Bosa is the younger brother of Chargers pass rusher […]

Cardinals Take Kyler Murray First Overall

The Arizona Cardinals selected Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. This was the expected move all along, and the Cardinals finally confirmed it on Thursday evening.

Drew Smyly Expects To Miss One Or Two Starts

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Drew Smyly said his arm was tired from a heavy workload and needed a break. He expects to miss no more than one or two starts. The left-hander hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2016 with the Rays, so it's understable that's he might already be fatigued. It's not a […]

Andrew Heaney Throws Bullpen Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) had a successful short bullpen session on Wednesday and will throw another one on Saturday and use all of his pitches, according to manager Brad Ausmus. The left-hander has yet to pitch in 2019 but should be the team's ace when he's healthy sometime next month. Heaney […]

Erik Gonzalez Out 10-12 Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Erik Gonzalez, who had surgery on Thursday to fix his fractured left clavicle, will return to "full major league baseball activities" in roughly 10 to 12 weeks. It means that he won't be an option for the Bucs until late in the second half of the season. The 27-year-old was hitting just […]

Bills Could Trade Up For Quinnen Williams

If Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray goes to the Cardinals at No. 1 overall and Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa goes at No. 2 to the 49ers, the Buffalo Bills could trade up to No. 3 to select Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, according to rival general managers. The Jets own the third overall pick, […]

Jags Pick Up Jalen Ramsey's Option

The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised cornerback Jalen Ramsey's fifth-year option on Thursday. The Pro Bowl cornerback is now under contract through the 2020 season.

He had 65 tackles and three interceptions and […]

Joey Wendle To 10-Day Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays placed infielder Joey Wendle on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a wrist fracture and called up infielder Christian Arroyo and reliever Austin Pruitt from Triple-A Durham in corresponding moves.

Quinnen Williams An Option At No. 1 Overall

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim reached out to Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to let him know that he's still a possibility for the team at No. 1 overall, according to a source.

Ozzie Albies Resting Against Reds

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Johan Camargo is starting at second base and is batting sixth against Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo.

The Washington Redskins are unsure if they want to select a quarterback with their first-round pick, and they are also in disagreement on the top QB on their draft board, with owner Bruce Allen and general manager Dan Snyder liking Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, while some in the organization prefer Duke's Daniel Jones, according […]

Jose Peraza Out For Second Straight Day

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jose Peraza is not in the starting lineup again on Thursday.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Houston Texans are open to trading linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who they placed the franchise tag on. The Texans have discussed an extension with Clowney, but he's yet to sign the franchise tender and the two sides aren't believed to be close on a long-term extension. The Houston Chronicle's John […]

Brandon Morrow Could Resume Throwing In A Few Weeks

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow), who is still in a diagnostic stage, could resume throwing in a few weeks. Morrow recently had a setback with his right elbow and has been shut down for the foreseeable future. He missed the entire second half last year and has no timetable for a return. As […]

Addison Russell To Work At Second Base

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that shortstop Addison Russell will see repetitions at second base while on his minor league rehab assignment.

The New York Jets (No. 3), Detroit Lions (No. 8), Miami Dolphins (No. 13), Seattle Seahawks (No. 21, 29) and Los Angeles Rams (No. 31) are the teams showing the most interest in moving down in the draft, according to sources. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Rams have already received calls from teams interested […]

Redskins Aren't Serious About Trading Up

The Washington Redskins aren't very serious about trading up in the first round into the top five picks, according to sources. Washington's calls about trading up are "Bruce Allen being Bruce Allen." Washington sits at No. 15 overall and could really use a quarterback despite trading for Case Keenum in the offseason. However, it doesn't […]

Yankees Acquire Cameron Maybin

The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Indians on Thursday, but it's unclear what they gave up in return. Maybin can play all three outfield positions and could see immediate playing time with all the injuries to New York's outfield in the opening month. However, the 32-year-old was hitting just .216/.388/.275 with […]

Falcons Willing To Trade Up In First Round

The Atlanta Falcons have shown a willingness to trade up into the top 10 picks of the first round on Thursday. The Falcons currently own the No. 14 overall pick in the first round, but they are expected to use one or more of their nine draft picks this year to move up, most likely […]

Raiders Like Dwayne Haskins

The Oakland Raiders moved Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins up their draft board late this week, according to a source. Haskins impressed the Raiders during his workout, and he could be an option for them at No. 4 overall, but it would certainly be a surprising pick with Derek Carr already on the roster and […]

Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, Max Muncy Out Against Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager and first baseman Max Muncy are not in the lineup against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester on Thursday.
