Raiders Take Josh Jacobs With Second First-Round Pick

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

He's a finisher with the rock in his hand […]

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 […]

Packers Trade Up And Take Darnell Savage

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 […]

Broncos Select Noah Fant At No. 20 Overall

The Denver Broncos selected Iowa tight end Noah Fant with the No. 20 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Fant is the second tight end from Iowa taken in the first round, which is a first in NFL history. He is an exceptional all-around athlete and should immediately become the top pass-catching option at […]

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 […]

Garrett Bradbury Goes 18th Overall In First Round

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.

The New York Giants selected Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence with the No. 17 overall pick of the 2019 NFL 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. The Steelers had trouble defending tight ends and the middle of the football field last year, so the inside linebacker will help with that immediately in 2019. Bush is an […]

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 […]

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. Murray is the most athletic signal-caller in this year's draft, as he was also a first-round pick in baseball last […]

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, […]

Roman Quinn Goes Back On Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain on Thursday and recalled outfielder Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Steelers Could Move Up In First Round

The Pittsburgh Steelers could potentially make a move to trade up within the first round of the draft on Thursday night, according to league sources.
