Chargers Love Andrew Thomas

The Los Angeles Chargers have loved Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas, a first-team All-American left tackle who played against the highest level of competition in college.

Jets Interested In Trading Back?

Sources say that New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is open to dropping a few spots in the first round of next week's draft. Douglas comes from two trade-happy teams (Ravens and Eagles) and could bring the same philosophy to the Jets in his first draft as GM. If New York were to trade […]
