Patriots View Mike Gesicki As Receiver/Tight End Hybrid

The New England Patriots view tight end Mike Gesicki as much as a receiver as a tight end, so the wide receiver position might not be as much of a need in this year's draft as some people may think.

It's possible that the Buffalo Bills draft a linebacker in the first round this year since they don't pick until No. 27, but the front office may also look to the offensive side of the ball since they haven't selected an offensive player in the first round since quarterback Josh Allen in 2018. The inside […]

A's Calling Up Jordan Diaz

The Oakland Athletics are calling up No. 4 prospect Jordan Diaz, according to a source. Diaz is expected to join the team on Wednesday.
