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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
