The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected linebacker Devin White out of LSU with the fifth overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.White was one of the top defensive prospects in this year's class and adds a speedy presence next to Lavonte David in Todd Bowles' defense. Tampa Bay lost Kwon Alexander to the San Francisco 49ers in free agency.The former Tiger was the 2018 Butkus Award winner, given to college football's top linebacker. He was named a consensus All-American in 2018, and to the All-SEC first team following each of the last two campaigns.Prospect profileSchool: LSU

The New York Jets selected defensive lineman Quinnen Williams out of Alabama with the third overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.The Jets were actively pursuing a trade of the pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, but were unable to find a dance partner.As a result, New York selected what some pundits considered as not only the best defensive player, but the best prospect in the entire draft. He figures to lineup inside next to Steve McLendon with Leonard Williams and Henry Anderson operating on the outside.The Jets are looking for a quick turnaround after a 4-12 season in 2018 and are hoping the 303-pounder will bolster their pass rush and run defense.Prospect profileSchool: Alabama

The San Francisco 49ers selected defensive end Nick Bosa out of Ohio State with the second overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.It's the fourth time in five years San Francisco has used a first-round pick on a defensive lineman. The 49ers drafted Solomon Thomas third overall in 2017, DeForest Buckner at No. 7 in 2016, and Arik Armstead 17th in 2015, to a tune of mixed results.Bosa, the younger brother of Los Angeles Chargers star edge rusher Joey, heads to the Bay Area on the heels of a three-year career at Ohio State. A former five-star recruit, he collected four sacks in three games last year before suffering a core muscle injury. He chose not to return later in the season and instead turned his focus to the draft.In 12 games as a sophomore in 2017, Bosa notched 8.5 sacks.San Francisco struggled to rush the passer a year ago as it managed only 37 sacks as a team, tied for the 22nd most in the league.Prospect profileSchool: Ohio State

The Oakland Raiders selected pass-rusher Clelin Ferrell out of Clemson with the fourth overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.New Raiders general manager Mike Mayock shocked many with his first pick, as pass-rushers Josh Allen and Brian Burns were expected to hear their names called first.The Raiders were in dire need of edge rushers after trading away superstar Khalil Mack last year. Oakland finished dead last in sacks by a significant margin, registering just 13 quarterback takedowns (the closest teams had 30).Ferrell will likely slide in beside 2018 third-rounder Arden Key. The former Clemson standout racked up 21 sacks and 36.5 tackles for loss across the last two campaigns.Prospect profileSchool: Clemson

The Arizona Cardinals selected quarterback Kyler Murray out of Oklahoma with the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.Murray has been considered for months as the favorite to be chosen No. 1 overall. He won the Heisman Trophy with the Sooners in 2018 and made the highly debated decision to pursue a football career over one in baseball.While still at Texas Tech, new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he would take Murray first overall if he had the chance. This sparked speculation that the Oklahoma passer would be the choice at the top of the draft.With its newest draft pick officially a member of the team, Arizona is expected to deal Josh Rosen, who was selected in the first round of last year's draft. The Cardinals stood by their 2018 starter multiple times during the offseason but will now look for a trade partner for him. The New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Redskins have all been linked to Rosen.Prospect profileSchool: Oklahoma

There is a good chance the New York Jets trade the third overall pick in a move down the board at the 2019 NFL Draft, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.One rival team reportedly believes the Jets already have a deal in place to trade the pick if Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is available for another club at No. 3.New York openly discussed trading back in the weeks leading up to the draft.It appears the Buffalo Bills could be the team ready to move up. Buffalo holds the ninth overall selection.

With the 2019 NFL Draft only hours away, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray "would be shocked" if he didn't go No. 1 overall, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson.Murray has been considered for months as the favorite to be the first pick in the draft but nothing has been confirmed. It was reported earlier Thursday that the Arizona Cardinals, who hold the first overall selection, are keeping their options open.The Cardinals have had discussions with the agents of the top three prospects (Murray, Ohio State pass-rusher Nick Bosa, and Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams), NFL Network's Michael Silver reports.Murray won the Heisman Trophy with the Sooners in 2018 and made the highly debated decision to pursue a football career over one in baseball.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The San Francisco 49ers are shopping defensive end Solomon Thomas, reports ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio.Thomas, 23, was drafted third overall by San Francisco in 2017. He totaled 31 tackles in 13 starts last season and has accumulated four sacks throughout his two years in the league.San Francisco holds the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday's NFL draft, where it's been speculated the club could select defensive end Nick Bosa.The 49ers have been active this offseason, most notably acquiring pass-rusher Dee Ford from the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2020 second-round pick.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly actively attempting to move up from their No. 20 pick in Thursday's NFL draft, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.Although Pittsburgh isn't known for draft-day moves, the club feels like trading up could be the best way to address its defensive needs, according to Schefter, who adds that the Steelers could be targeting a linebacker to fill the void left by Ryan Shazier's spinal injury.Pittsburgh holds four picks inside the top 100, including the No. 66 selection, which was acquired when the club traded star receiver Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Arizona Cardinals have done a masterful job of keeping draftniks guessing about their plans for the first overall pick in Thursday's NFL draft.Though the consensus among mock drafters is the team will select Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, the Cardinals have apparently given no indication to league insiders that's the case.In fact, the team has even informed Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams he's still in the running to be the selection at No. 1 overall, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.Rapoport suggests other prospects may have received a similar messageIt's possible the Cardinals have decided who they'll select and are simply building the drama, or perhaps leaving the door open for a possible trade down the board if the team gets an 11th-hour offer it can't refuse. But it appears increasingly likely that Arizona's brass truly hasn't come to a consensus regarding the pick yet.Complicating matters is the fact that Josh Rosen, the Cardinals' first-round pick a year ago, remains on the roster. ESPN's Josina Anderson reports the Cardinals haven't received an acceptable trade offer for Rosen, and some in the organization are concerned about whether Rosen and Murray could coexist on the same roster.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Arizona Cardinals aren't close to trading quarterback Josh Rosen, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter."They do not have a trade. They do not have anything close to a trade," Schefter said Thursday on WEEI's "Mut & Callahan," via NBC Sports' Darren Hartwell. "The only two teams that they've spoken to over the last few weeks, the last month, have been the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants."It's been widely believed the Cardinals will draft Kyler Murray first overall, leading to speculation Rosen could be traded.Murray, Nick Bosa, and Quinnen Williams sit atop Arizona's draft board, and sources told NFL.com's Michael Silver that a surprise could be coming with the top pick.The Cardinals drafted Rosen with the No. 10 pick in 2018.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

With the 2019 NFL draft finally here, theScore's Dane Belbeck, Daniel Wilkins, and Mike Alessandrini project the first 32 picks.1. Arizona Cardinals - Kyler Murray, QB, OklahomaIt seems possible the Murray-Cardinals connection was a media creation that the team simply ran with for the sake of maximizing the potential trade value of the No. 1 pick, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised if Arizona goes elsewhere. But this also makes sense as a follow-up to the Kliff Kingsbury hire. Murray is a perfect fit for Kingsbury's modern offense, and while he has some question marks, he has the kind of upside that could make him a superstar. - Wilkins2. San Francisco 49ers - Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio StateBefore Murray lit college football on fire this season, Bosa was widely expected to be the first overall selection in this draft. The Cardinals opting to choose the Oklahoma quarterback will gift the 49ers the best pass-rusher on the board. Bosa will immediately terrorize offensive linemen off the edge and prove invaluable in a division that features Jared Goff and Russell Wilson at quarterback. - Belbeck3. New York Jets - Ed Oliver, DT, HoustonMitchell Layton / Getty Images Sport / GettyIf Murray is indeed selected first overall, New York has the opportunity to select one of the top defensive prospects in this class at No. 3. Though Quinnen Williams appears to be a more complete player, he may be deemed redundant next to Leonard Williams. But Oliver, an explosive and disruptive interior rusher, fits Gregg Williams' scheme perfectly and recent rumors have strongly linked the Jets to the Houston product. - Alessandrini4. Oakland Raiders - Quinnen Williams, DT, AlabamaJon Gruden and Mike Mayock will have to be thrilled if Williams is somehow still on the board for their first of three first-round picks. Arguably the best player in this draft, the Alabama standout makes the jump to the NFL after an incredible first season as a starter. He wouldn't fill the Raiders' glaring need on the edge, but Williams' potential to dominate as a pass-rusher on the inside could be every bit as valuable, if not more so. - Wilkins5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Devin White, LB, LSUTampa Bay opts for the best linebacker in the draft with the LSU star at No. 5. White showed his incredible sideline-to-sideline ability throughout his college career and his blazing 4.42 40-yard dash at the combine demonstrated his remarkable athleticism. New defensive coordinator Todd Bowles won't be able to pass up the chance to have White leading his linebacker unit for years to come. - Belbeck6. New York Giants - Josh Allen, OLB, KentuckyDave Gettleman could take a quarterback here, but the Giants have been strongly linked to a pass-rusher with their first pick. Allen is a versatile edge defender who could easily be a top-four choice in this draft. Gettleman will see this value and take the safe route in order to bolster one of the weaker spots on his roster. - Alessandrini7. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jonah Williams, OT, AlabamaJoe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / GettyLooking to get the most out of their free-agent investment, the Jaguars bolster Nick Foles' supporting cast with the best offensive lineman in the draft. Whether it's at left tackle, right tackle, or even moving inside to guard, Williams is a cornerstone talent who should be a high-level starter for the next decade. - Wilkins8. TRADE: Washington Redskins (from DET) - Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio StateWith a couple of quarterback-needy teams in Denver and Cincinnati soon on the board, Washington opts to trade into the top 10 and grab Dwayne Haskins at No. 8. Alex Smith's status is unknown after his horrific leg injury, and Haskins could immediately be the Day 1 starter despite the offseason addition of Case Keenum. Though the Buckeyes star has only one season as a starter under his belt, his command of Ohio State's offense certainly showed he has all the tools to be a top-end quarterback at the pro level. - Belbeck9. Buffalo Bills - T.J. Hockenson, TE, IowaWith most of the top defensive prospects off the board, Buffalo adds another weapon for Josh Allen. Hockenson is a rare tight end prospect in that he's ready to contribute immediately in every phase of the game. He's a mauler in the run game and a unique offensive weapon that the Bills will have a difficult time passing up if available. - Alessandrini10. Denver Broncos - Devin Bush, LB, MichiganTrading for Joe Flacco shouldn't keep the Broncos from drafting a quarterback early, but it certainly could make them feel as though they can put it off another year. In this scenario, Denver instead looks to the defensive side of the ball, adding Bush as an every-down leader in the middle for Vic Fangio's defense. - Wilkins11. Cincinnati Bengals - Drew Lock, QB, MissouriJonathan Bachman / Getty Images Sport / GettyThe Bengals look to Lock as their quarterback savior after Haskins goes earlier in the night. There's a new regime in Cincinnati and head coach Zac Taylor will want to make his mark immediately with a splash in the draft. Taylor spent the last few seasons on the Rams' staff, and one could make the argument that Lock has more talent coming into the league than Jared Goff did. Andy Dalton's days with the club are numbered with Lock the new kid in town. - Belbeck12. Green Bay Packers - Brian Burns, OLB, Florida StateThe Packers recently signed Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith to bolster their pass rush, but Burns offers a different skill set and excellent value at this spot. A top talent with All-Pro potential, the former Seminole can be used as a nickel rusher early in his career while he adds muscle to his intriguing frame. In a competitive NFC North, one can never have enough impact defenders. - Alessandrini13. Miami Dolphins - Jawaan Taylor, OT, FloridaThis should be the floor for Taylor on draft night. With the Dolphins seemingly content to pass on quarterbacks with the intention of circling back to a stronger group of signal-callers next year, setting the foundation around that eventual franchise cornerstone should be the focus. Taylor helps to do exactly that, as he'd pair with Laremy Tunsil to give Miami a strong pair of bookend offensive tackles. - Wilkins14. TRADE: Houston Texans (from ATL) - Andre Dillard, OT, Washington StateAfter allowing a whopping 62 sacks last season, there isn't a team that needs an upgrade on the offensive line more than the Texans. Those struggles make this trade into the top 15 necessary, with Dillard being the payoff. The Washington State standout will immediately step in and help protect Deshaun Watson, something that must be done if Houston is to return to the playoffs. - Belbeck15. TRADE: Detroit Lions (from WAS) - Rashan Gary, DL, MichiganRey Del Rio / Getty Images Sport / GettyTalk about an ideal scenario for the Lions. Bob Quinn adds picks from Washington while moving down seven spots and is still able to select a player his team could have targeted earlier. Gary's shoulder was recently flagged but we still don't expect him to fall outside the top 20. The former Wolverine gives Detroit's strong defensive line another versatile defender. - Alessandrini16. Carolina Panthers - Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi StateCarolina makes a much-needed upgrade to the defensive front with one of the best athletes in this draft. Sweat is relatively raw as a pass-rusher, so coaching will be key to unlocking his potential, but a rare set of traits gives him limitless upside in that regard. He's already a high-level run defender, so he should have an immediate impact either way. - Wilkins17. New York Giants (from CLE) - Daniel Jones, QB, DukeAfter adding the 17th overall pick in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, the Giants grab the talented pivot out of Duke hoping he's the long-term successor to Eli Manning. There's certainly a connection between Manning and Jones, as both trained under legendary quarterback guru David Cutcliffe. Jones will learn the position for a season before potentially taking over to form a backfield with the brilliant Saquon Barkley. - Belbeck18. Minnesota Vikings - Garrett Bradbury, OL, NC StateUnfortunately for the Vikings, the top-tier offensive tackles are off the board, but that doesn't mean they can't strengthen a blocking unit that struggled mightily in 2018. Bradbury profiles as a Day 1 starter and would allow Pat Elflein to shift over to guard, improving two positions with one pick. - Alessandrini19. Tennessee Titans - Christian Wilkins, DT, ClemsonGrant Halverson / Getty Images Sport / GettyOne of the best players in the country over the past few seasons, Wilkins seems to be flying under the radar as part of a stacked defensive line class. Tennessee gladly takes advantage and adds a disruptive every-down interior player to pair with Jurrell Casey. - Wilkins20. Pittsburgh Steelers - Noah Fant, TE, IowaAfter losing their best offensive weapon in Antonio Brown, the Steelers add a talented pass-catcher in Iowa's Fant. The ultra-athletic tight end ran an absurd 4.50 in the 40-yard dash at the combine and could immediately become a big-play threat for Ben Roethlisberger. - Belbeck21. Seattle Seahawks - Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi StatePete Carroll and John Schneider have never shied from selecting prospects who require some patience. After tearing his ACL in February, Simmons likely won't see much action as a rookie, but he's simply too good to pass up at this point. Athletic, versatile, and dominant, the Mississippi State product adds an intriguing long-term piece to Seattle's defense. - Alessandrini22. Baltimore Ravens - Clelin Ferrell, OLB, ClemsonBaltimore has a major need on the edge after losing Za'Darius Smith and Terrell Suggs to free agency. Ferrell isn't an elite athlete, so he isn't getting as much attention as some of the other top players at the position. Already an advanced pass-rusher and a stout run defender, he could quickly make that look like a mistake. - Wilkins23. TRADE: Atlanta Falcons (from HOU) - Cody Ford, OL, OklahomaIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyAfter trading down in the deal with Houston, the Falcons grab the third-team All-American lineman out of Oklahoma. Ford showed great versatility in college, playing both guard and tackle, and will immediately help the league's 27th-ranked rushing attack with his physicality. - Belbeck24. Oakland Raiders (from CHI) - Marquise Brown, WR, OklahomaAfter addressing its defensive line earlier, Oakland opts for an offensive weapon here. "Hollywood" - the cousin of new Raider Antonio Brown - adds a dynamic, explosive presence to Jon Gruden's offense. Gruden and Mike Mayock added multiple receivers in free agency, but none of them has Marquise Brown's big-play, deep-threat ability. - Alessandrini25. Philadelphia Eagles - Dexter Lawrence, DT, ClemsonImproving the run defense should be a priority for the Eagles, and there may be no better way to do so than by scooping up Lawrence late in the first. Expecting consistent pass-rush production involves some projection, but he should be a major contributor in the ground game from Day 1. Rotating with Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson, that kind of presence would give Philly a fantastic group on the interior defensive line. - Wilkins26. Indianapolis Colts - Greedy Williams, CB, LSUAfter sitting in the top 20 in most mocks leading up to the draft, Williams falls to the Colts at No. 26. Though there may be some questions about the standout from LSU, there's no doubt he's the top cover corner on the board. Adding Williams to a secondary led by Malik Hooker is a major steal for Indianapolis. - Belbeck27. Oakland Raiders (from DAL) - Byron Murphy, CB, WashingtonIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyOakland surely would have loved to add an impact edge rusher with one of its three first-round picks, but alas, the board fell as it did. Fear not, Raider fans; Gruden and Mayock can target one early in the second round after selecting the best player available here. With grit, production, and ball skills, Murphy is exactly what teams look for in a cornerback. With question marks across from Gareon Conley, the former Washington Husky fills a need in the secondary. - Alessandrini28. Los Angeles Chargers - Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, FloridaThe Chargers continue to add to the secondary after hitting a home run with Derwin James last year. Gardner-Johnson can either complement James as a true single-high safety or rotate down into the slot and work man-to-man against receivers. That kind of cover talent and versatility sees the Los Angeles secondary take another step toward the NFL's elite. - Wilkins29. Seattle Seahawks (from KC) - Deandre Baker, CB, GeorgiaWith their second pick in the first round - compliments of the Frank Clark trade earlier in the week - the Seahawks shore up the secondary with Baker out of Georgia. He may not be the most athletic corner in the draft, but one can easily make the argument he's the most versatile on the board. He'll fit perfectly in Seattle's defense. - Belbeck30. Green Bay Packers (from NO) - D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole MissMetcalf's fall ends here, and what a landing spot it is. Despite possessing elite speed and freak athleticism, the gifted wideout isn't receiving consensus first-round buzz due to his unpolished game. Still, we highly doubt he escapes the first round. Metcalf has rare traits and home-run ability that the Packers simply cannot pass up here. A pairing with Aaron Rodgers would be frightening. - Alessandrini31. Los Angeles Rams - Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston CollegeJoe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / GettyThe Rams have holes to fill on the interior offensive line after parting ways with John Sullivan and losing Rodger Saffold to free agency. Lindstrom steps in as a Day 1 starter at guard, helping maintain the strong offensive front that's been key to this team's success over the last two years. - Wilkins32. New England Patriots - Will Grier, QB, West VirginiaNo, we don't have the Patriots taking a quarterback just to ensure you read this entire mock draft. Grier sneaks into the first round with New England despite the fact it appears Tom Brady is never retiring. The ceiling on the talented West Virginia pivot is immense, and it won't be a shock to see him emerge as a solid NFL starter five years from now. That potential value will be too much for Bill Belichick to pass up. - BelbeckCopyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Drew Lock is among the quartet of quarterbacks - along with Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, and Daniel Jones - who will almost certainly hear their name called on Day 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft.However, the ex-Missouri standout believes the money and status that comes with being the top overall pick isn't worth landing with a potentially poorly run franchise."I'd 100 percent rather go 32nd to the right team than No. 1 to a bad team,’’ Lock told Don Banks of Patriots.com on Thursday. "If that happened (being drafted by the Patriots), I'd be honored for sure. Tom's obviously there for a couple more years, but to be able to sit behind a guy like that and learn from one of the best quarterbacks of all time - if not the best - I think that's an ideal situation for any quarterback."Murray is widely expected to be the Arizona Cardinals' man at the top of the draft, while Jones and Haskins appear set to go within the first 10 picks.With a host of teams looking for a young quarterback to groom, Lock is unlikely to fall to the reigning Super Bowl champions, who've yet to signal any interest in drafting Brady's heir apparent this year.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have finalized a two-year contract extension with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the team announced on Wednesday.The deal will be added to the one year remaining on his current contract and is worth $63 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.After flirting with retirement in recent years, Big Ben is now signed on to lead the Steelers until 2021, when he'll turn 39 years old.Pittsburgh has anointed Roethlisberger the team leader, even in the face of criticism from former teammates Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, and others.He led the league in passing yards with 5,129 in the 2018 season, eclipsing the 5,000-yard mark for the first time in his 15-year career. The six-time Pro Bowler added a career-high 34 touchdown passes while throwing 16 interceptions.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

With the NFL draft on Thursday, theScore's football editors make seven bold predictions about what will transpire.No WR or RB taken in 1st roundWith the high-end talent in this draft class largely on the defensive side of the ball, NFL clubs will eschew adding offensive weapons for at least the first 32 selections. Due to the lack of a clear-cut feature tailback or a consensus best player among wideouts, teams will prefer to wait and address their offensive needs on Day 2. - David P. WoodsT.J. Hockenson makes historyIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyVernon Davis was taken with the sixth overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers 13 years ago. To find a tight end drafted higher, you have to go all the way back to two years after the 1970 AFL-NFL merger when Riley Odoms went fifth overall. Hockenson has been rumored as a potential top-10 pick, but he'll exceed expectations and sneak inside the top five thanks to a decreasing concern with positional value at the top of the draft, as well as his rare combination of an immediately translatable skill set and an elite upside he's barely begun to discover - similar to Colts guard Quenton Nelson last year. - Jack BrowneGiants trade up to No. 1 overallThe Dave Gettleman show continues on draft night with a deal that moves New York from No. 6 to the first overall pick. The Giants also own the 17th overall selection, as well as three Day 2 picks, and any (or all) could be used to climb five spots. Meanwhile, Arizona decides Josh Rosen is its quarterback of the future and moves down to select a top defensive prospect. Determined to land Eli Manning's successor, the Giants kick off the draft by selecting Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, or Daniel Jones. - Mike Alessandrini10 offensive linemen picked in 1st roundJoe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / GettyIt won't get as much attention as the more glamorous position groups, but this year's offensive line class is quietly stacked. Given the lack of such depth in recent years and the resultant need around the league for linemen, it shouldn't come as a surprise when they fly off the board early and often. Jonah Williams, Andre Dillard, Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford, and Garrett Bradbury should be Day 1 locks. Add in Dalton Risner, Chris Lindstrom, Elgton Jenkins, Erik McCoy, and Tytus Howard - as teams look to ensure they don't miss out on one of the top talents - and a total of 10 offensive linemen will be selected in the first round, matching the all-time draft record set back in 1968. - Dan WilkinsGreedy Williams goes in top 5The first five players in the draft have appeared to be locked in for months, and Williams - once projected to be among those picks - has fallen in many mock drafts. Williams is no longer even the consensus best corner and reportedly hasn't taken a top-30 visit or a private workout. It's a classic case of teams slow-playing their desired pick. In the end, a team gets greedy and takes the LSU star much earlier than expected. - Michael McClymontChiefs trade Tyreek HillHarry How / Getty Images Sport / GettyRumblings out of Kansas City that the Chiefs are open to moving the Cheetah will prove to be true, as they'll part with the All-Pro receiver for a first-round pick before his possible legal problems and contract requests catch up. Andy Reid has made plenty of proactive trades before, as he's sent stars such as Donovan McNabb, Sheldon Brown, Alex Smith, and Marcus Peters packing from his teams before they were ready. Hill will be next, ensuring the Chiefs have all the money they need to lock up Patrick Mahomes when the quarterback's rookie deal expires. - Alex ChippinOnly 2 QBs selected in 1st roundFive quarterbacks were drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and three were taken in 2017. This year, however, NFL teams will be wary of the position group and select only two on Day 1. Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins will be nabbed within the top 32 (sorry, Drew Lock) as the rest of the league opts to capitalize on a strong defensive class. - Karan GillCopyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Buccaneers will go seven consecutive weeks without a game in Tampa Bay and head coach Bruce Arians is none too pleased about it.When the 2019 NFL schedule was released last week, the Bucs learned they'll hit the road in Weeks 4 and 5, travel to London in Week 6, and after a bye in Week 7, head back on a road trip for Weeks 8 and 9. They won't play in front of their home fans again until Week 10."Am I happy about it? Hell no," Arians said to reporters, including ESPN's Jenna Laine, on Tuesday."I think it's ridiculous, and I voiced my opinion to the people (at the NFL head office) in New York."It's an arduous journey, and even the league's senior director of broadcast planning and scheduling recently admitted he'd like a "redo.""If we had to do-over, if we had a redo, I'd love to take another shot at that Tampa Bay schedule," Mike North said last week. "I'm not sure that's really fair to their fans. I'm hopeful that we didn't do something to the Buccaneers that they feel like was really unfair."It's the second time in three years that the Bucs will be faced with a scheduling quirk. In 2017, their season opener against the Miami Dolphins had to be postponed due to a hurricane. It was rescheduled to their bye week, meaning both teams played 16 straight weeks.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

The NFL Draft is one of the most electric events on the sports calendar. Of course, there's a bet for just about everything, so let's dive into the most intriguing props available.Over/Under 3.5 quarterbacks drafted in Round 1 (Over -500 / Under +300)One draft insider told theScore this week that when it comes to the quarterback market, it's not something you'd "typically like to short." Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, and Drew Lock are all locks (no pun intended) to be snagged in Round 1. Daniel Jones has been rumored to possibly sneak into the first round, which would make it four QBs - enough for the over to hit.Josh Rosen might be the biggest wild card here. If the Cardinals select Murray with the first overall pick and ship Rosen to a quarterback-needy team, there's a chance Jones could be the odd man out.Over/Under 2.5 Clemson players drafted in Round 1 (Over -150 / Under +110)Reading credible mock drafts before making your picks won't exactly give you an edge nowadays. They're typically baked into the odds already.Still, most dependable outlets have three Clemson players - defensive linemen Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, and Clelin Ferrell - going off the board in the first round, albeit two of them late.It might be a sweat to the finish line.Over/Under 2.5 wide receivers drafted in Round 1 (Over -140 / Under +100)The wide receiver dominoes aren't expected to fall until later on the first night ... if they do at all. Ole Miss' D.K. Metcalf is the odds-on favorite receiver to go off the board first, but then it gets a bit tricky. There doesn't appear to be a generational talent after that to warrant a high first-round grade in a cluster of second-tier wideouts comprised of Marquise Brown, N'Keal Harry, Kelvin Harmon, Hakeem Butler, and others.Round 1 matchup - Defensive players taken -3.5 (-135) vs. offensive players taken (+105)Outside of the potential quarterback fireworks, the first night of the draft should be somewhat dull. Not only might the wide receiver market be slow, but there's also a good chance only one running back comes off the board. This is a defense-heavy class; don't be surprised if that side of the ball dominates the headlines on Thursday.Will Dwayne Haskins be drafted 10th or earlier? (Yes -110 / No -130)Haskins' draft position was one of the biggest movers this week. He was pegged at over/under 6.5 for some time but steamed up to 10.5.So what if the Cardinals stick with Rosen and pass on Murray? Well, then the quarterback market probably won't heat up for a bit. And that probably most affects Haskins, who's the consensus No. 2 signal-caller to go off the board after Murray. But if the New York Giants are indeed keen on Jones with pick No. 17 and pass up the shot to take Haskins at No. 6, there might not be a logical spot for the former Ohio State quarterback before No. 10.Over/Under 6.5 Big Ten players drafted in Round 1 (Over -120 / Under -120)Ohio State's Haskins and Nick Bosa, Iowa's T.J. Hockenson, and Michigan's Devin Bush are all givens for Round 1. Michigan's Rashan Gary's stock might be trending downward, but his upside is too good to pass up in the first round. Iowa's Noah Fant has been a late first-rounder in most reputable mocks.Where's the seventh? Ohio State's Parris Campbell? Michigan's Chase Winovich or David Long? There are some fringe first-round candidates, but right now we count six.Alex Kolodziej is theScore's betting writer.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker to a four-year contract extension. The deal is worth $23.5 million and includes $12.5 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.Tucker is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history, having connected on 90.1 percent of his field-goal attempts during his seven-year career.The 29-year-old has never missed a field goal from within 30 yards, has missed just two from within 40 yards, and is an impressive 38-for-54 on attempts of 50 yards or longer.He also hadn't missed an extra-point attempt in his career until 2018 and is now 241-for-242 on PATs.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Dallas Cowboys are picking up the fifth-year option in running back Ezekiel Elliott's contract, the team announced Wednesday.The move keeps the star rusher under team control through the 2020 season and will pay him $9.09 million for that campaign, according to Spotrac.Elliott, the fourth overall pick of the 2016 draft, has wasted no time producing at the pro level. He put up nearly 2,000 total yards in his rookie season and, after a 2017 campaign that was shortened due to suspension, he led the NFL with 1,434 rushing yards in 2018.The Cowboys have already discussed contract extension with offensive stars Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, while Elliott might be next in line.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Marshawn Lynch is reportedly ready to hang up his cleats again, two seasons after the veteran tailback returned from his first retirement to join his hometown Oakland Raiders, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.Lynch "plans to move on to the next phase of his life," Schefter adds.He signed a two-year, $9-million deal with Oakland in 2017 and, after playing out that contract, was allowed the offseason to determine his future. Head coach Jon Gruden expressed a desire to bring Lynch back for the 2019 campaign but knew nothing of the player's intentions.The power back played in six games last season, averaging 4.2 yards per carry and totaling three touchdowns before a groin injury put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season.The man affectionately known as "Beast Mode" began his career with the Buffalo Bills before a 2010 trade to the Seattle Seahawks. He helped the team win a Super Bowl in 2013 and return to the title game the following season.The 11-year vet turned 33 years old on Monday.Without Lynch in the fold, the Raiders' backfield is led by Isaiah Crowell, Jalen Richard, and DeAndre Washington. It's a position the team is likely to target in the draft, which begins on Thursday. Oakland owns three first-round picks.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris has requested to either be given a new contract or be traded, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.Harris wants a deal averaging at least $15 million a year, a source told Mike Klis of 9News. The four-time Pro Bowler is entering a contract year and is set to earn a base salary of $7.8 million in 2019.The 29-year-old opted to skip the Broncos' voluntary offseason workouts earlier in April as he attempts to force Denver's hand.Broncos general manager John Elway said Tuesday he hasn't yet had the opportunity to talk to Harris' representatives."I don't have time right now," Elway said, according to Klis. "I'm busy with the draft. We'll talk about Chris. He's under contract, so we'll talk about that when the draft is over."When I say this, I said we're going to talk about it. It doesn't mean we're going to do it."Elway added that he hasn't thought about trading Harris.Harris has been one of the league's best cornerbacks ever since establishing himself as a key member of Denver's defense during its Super Bowl run in 2015.The Broncos have already spent big at the position this offseason, signing Kareem Jackson and Bryce Callahan to deals averaging $11 million and $7 million annually, respectively.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Big Ben is close to becoming a Pittsburgh Steeler for life.The Steelers are "working hard" to complete a contract extension with Ben Roethlisberger before Thursday's draft, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.The 37-year-old has one year left on his deal, and Pittsburgh has made it clear the team still views him as its starter for the foreseeable future.Roethlisberger is currently the 13th highest-paid quarterback, earning $21.85 million per season on a contract signed in 2015. Since then, the top of the quarterback market has skyrocketed, with Russell Wilson recently inking a league-leading extension worth $35 million annually.While Roethlisberger is unlikely to top Wilson's deal - or Aaron Rodgers' $33.5-million per year pact - he could become the third passer, along with Matt Ryan, to break the $30-million mark.The two-time Super Bowl winner threw for a career-high 34 touchdowns and 5,129 yards in 2018. He'll be without top target Antonio Brown going forward after the receiver was traded to the Oakland Raiders.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

The Seattle Seahawks traded defensive end Frank Clark to Kansas City on Tuesday, the Chiefs announced.Clark was moved for a 2019 first-round pick and a 2020 second-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.The two clubs will also swap 2019 third-rounders. Kansas City holds two second-round selections in next year's draft and the lower of the two slots will be given to Seattle.Soon after the trade, Clark and the Chiefs agreed on a five-year, $105.5-million contract that includes $63.5 million guaranteed, Schefter added. The deal surpasses DeMarcus Lawrence's recent extension with the Dallas Cowboys and sits second behind Khalil Mack in terms of average annual value among edge rushers.The star defender was slapped with the franchise tag and reportedly didn't intend to show up for training camp without a new long-term contract.The Seahawks now possess two first-round picks in Thursday's draft: No. 21 and No. 29 overall.Clark is a significant addition to a Chiefs pass rush that lost Dee Ford in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason. He'll presumably slide in opposite newly acquired defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah or Alex Okafor in the starting lineup.A second-round selection in 2015, Clark established has himself as one of the league's top pass-rushers with 22 sacks over the past two seasons.Seattle, meanwhile, is parting ways with one of its top defenders, who may have been deemed expendable after the team signed quarterback Russell Wilson to a lucrative contract extension. The Seahawks could target Clark's replacement with one of their first-day selections.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Patrick Peterson was not in attendance Tuesday as the Arizona Cardinals kicked off voluntary minicamp, and some tension between the star corner and management might've been the reason for his absence.A member of Arizona's management apparently said something to Peterson that "pissed him off," a source told Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic. Somers' source added that the incident isn't yet significant enough to force a trade.Rumors swirled Tuesday that a trade to the Kansas City Chiefs could be imminent after the eight-time Pro Bowler deleted references to the Cardinals from his social media, but were quickly refuted by multiple outlets.Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury also shot down speculation when he said he knew Peterson wouldn't be in attendance and the cornerback isn't leaving the team, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.Peterson asked to be traded midway through last season only to rescind his demand and then announce his commitment to the Cardinals on a golf course in January.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Four years ago, the high school recruiting profiles on senior quarterback Daniel Jones didn't offer much in the way of hype.At that time, 247Sports ranked Jones as the 2,020th-best player in the 2015 class. The quarterback's composite rating, which combines the opinions of major recruiting services, listed him with no stars and an "NA" ranking. Rivals.com didn't even have a photo to go with Jones' profile. He was, for this purpose, as anonymous as the old Twitter eggs.But now, after starting for three years at Duke while throwing for 8,201 yards, Jones is expected to be selected in the first round of this week's NFL draft - perhaps as high as sixth by the New York Giants. He's a clear member of the first tier of quarterback prospects. The others - Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins and Drew Lock, - were all four- or five-star recruits coming out of high school.An unfortunate confluence of events contributed to Jones' anonymity back then, but he'll be a known commodity in Nashville on Thursday night."Guys are going to receive him very, very well in whichever locker room he goes into," said Zac Roper, Duke's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.Late bloomerFormer varsity football coach Larry McNulty first met Jones when the quarterback was a sixth grader.His first impression?"He was skinny as a rail, and I mean really skinny," McNulty said. "He continued to be skinny until his junior year in high school. But he was always athletic, he was always extremely competitive."McNulty, who has since retired, coached Jones on the varsity team at Charlotte Latin.He and his staff had already nicknamed the young pivot "Swag" after watching him enter a junior varsity game and carry the team to two touchdowns.Icon Sportswire / Getty ImagesBut despite his swagger, Jones was just 5-foot-11 and about 150 pounds when he became the starting varsity quarterback as a sophomore - nowhere near the NFL-ready 6-foot-5, 220-pound body he has now."I'm telling you, he took some tremendous hits," McNulty said. "He got blindsided by some guys that were like 250."The fact Jones was a late bloomer - he grew to 6-foot-3 by his senior year at Charlotte Latin - was just one obstacle stopping him from capturing the attention of major college football programs.Another? As a junior, he fractured his wrist playing basketball.He spent that spring - one of the most important periods for high school football recruits - with his right forearm in a cast, unable to throw at college camps."He did not take that cast off until mid-July," McNulty recalled. "The only thing that was left at that time was he did a little swing up through New England and into the (Ivy League schools). I was really, really worried that he was going to overdo it. That he was going to go up there and throw and throw and hurt himself and not be available for us in the fall. But he got through it all, came back fine and had a really good senior year and was being looked at by the Ivies."Jones went on to throw for 43 touchdowns while running for 10 more as a senior, but still appeared headed for a decision between Harvard and Princeton.However McNulty, in a last-ditch attempt, put in a call to Duke coach David Cutcliffe, asking him to take one more look at Jones' senior film."He said, 'Do not connect this kid with anybody else. I will call him tonight,'" McNulty recalled of that conversation with Cutcliffe.Mark Brown / Getty ImagesWithout any scholarships available, Cutcliffe offered Jones the opportunity to come in as a "grayshirt" - which meant he'd pay his own way during his first semester until a scholarship spot opened.Jones accepted the offer, which gave him a chance to play for Cutcliffe, who had previously coached both Peyton and Eli Manning in college.Quick learnerDuke's Roper remembers hearing the stories during Jones' redshirt season in 2016. As the quarterback of the scout team, Jones gave Duke's starting defense fits during practice.Meanwhile, it had never been the plan for Jones to see the field that season. However, returning starter Thomas Sirk suffered a year-ending Achilles injury in the preseason, opening the door.Soon after, in the fourth game of his college career, a 19-year-old Jones led Duke into Notre Dame Stadium and defeated the Fighting Irish 38-35. He completed 75 percent of his passes (24 of 32) for 290 yards and three touchdowns.It was then that Roper knew Jones was special."It's a big thing for anyone to do, much less a redshirt freshman," he said.Jones ended his college career with a similarly impressive effort in the Independence Bowl against Temple. He elected to play in the game despite injury concerns, and threw for 423 yards and five touchdowns, both career highs. The Blue Devils won 56-27."He was not 100 percent going into that game, did everything that he could to be as close to 100 percent in preparation for that game," Roper said. "Actually gets banged up a little early in that game. In an era where you see a lot of guys not play in bowl games for a variety of reasons, he was not going to be a guy that was not going to lay it on the line for his teammates."That toughness is among the reasons Roper believes Jones should be one of the first quarterbacks selected at the NFL draft.As for the others, Roper cited Jones' arm talent, accuracy, and intelligence."He's very cerebral, which can hurt plays at times, but it doesn't lock him up," Roper said."So he's not only intelligent, he's very football intelligent. Sometimes those things don't always go hand in hand. Sometimes the more intelligent a guy is, the more he tries to think too much and doesn't try to play with instinct. He can do both. He can still play off instinct and he can stay a step ahead of you or two just from an Xs and Os standpoint."On a conference call last week, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah explained why he thinks Jones would fit well with the Giants - who are looking to build around their defense - as the potential sixth overall pick in Thursday's first round."I just know when you watch Jones play and the things he does, I think he can play an efficient game," Jeremiah said. "I think you'll see that with the Giants."If Jones does go in the top 10, he'll be the first Duke player selected that high since linebacker Mike Junkin went fifth overall in 1987. No Blue Devil quarterback has ever been taken in the first round.So much for anonymity.Mark Cooper (@mark_cooperjr) is theScore's NCAA writer.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Los Angeles Rams have exercised the fifth-year option on quarterback Jared Goff's rookie contract, the team announced on Tuesday.Los Angeles now has two years to sign Goff to a long-term extension, though he's unlikely to receive a new deal before the 2019 campaign.The 24-year-old rebounded spectacularly from an abysmal rookie season, throwing for 8,492 yards and 60 touchdowns over the last two years under the guidance of head coach Sean McVay.However, Goff wasn't at his best during the Rams' run to Super Bowl LIII. He threw one touchdown pass, two interceptions, and completed 55.7 percent of his throws over three playoff games, causing some to question if he's a product of McVay's system rather than a top-flight pivot.He became the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft after the Rams traded up to select him.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

It appears franchised-tagged kicker Robbie Gould now wants out of San Francisco.Gould pulled his contract proposals that he had sent to the 49ers, requesting a trade and notifying them that he won't negotiate or sign a long-term contract, his agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter.The veteran kicker is planning to hold out if San Francisco does not honor his request, and he won't report to the team prior to the start of the 2019 regular season.Gould, 36, has spent the last two seasons in San Francisco following a one-year stint with the New York Giants in 2016 and an 11-year tenure with the Chicago Bears before that.He converted 33 of his 34 field-goal attempts this past season, with his longest make coming from 53 yards.Gould is the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history, behind only Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

It isn't just the picks that get teams, players, and fans excited around the NFL draft, it's the unforeseen trades that transpire, too.Here are a handful of swaps we'd love to see go down over the next several days in Nashville:Redskins land Rosen from CardinalsFull trade: Cardinals trade QB Josh Rosen to Redskins for 2nd-round pickChris Graythen / Getty Images Sport / GettyArizona isn't keeping Josh Rosen if it uses the first overall pick on another quarterback in Kyler Murray. On the surface, Murray seems like more of a fantasy than a realistic option for the Cardinals: they traded up last year to take Rosen 10th overall and hired a new head coach to develop him, specifically.But that coach, Kliff Kingsbury, was known to be extremely high on Murray before he took the Cardinals job. If the Cards are no longer 100 percent sold on Rosen - who struggled during his rookie year - as a franchise quarterback, now would be the time to admit they made a mistake and recoup as much value as possible.Even if they've soured on Rosen, there are still teams who'd pounce on an opportunity to pick up the talented youngster and his team-friendly contract. The Washington Redskins, for instance, can't afford another high-priced quarterback while they pay Alex Smith, whose leg injury last year could prove to be career-ending. The Redskins acquired Case Keenum, but he's a stopgap at best. For the 46th pick, the Skins would be silly not to roll the dice on Rosen.Broncos move up to grab QBFull trade: Jets trade No. 3 pick to Broncos for No. 10 pick, 2020 1st-round pickThe threat of the Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, and New York Giants all dipping into the quarterback market early on draft night should motivate Denver to move up from No. 10.The Jets have publicly stated they're interested in moving down from No. 3, making them a natural trade partner. If the Broncos don't move up, another team probably will, and it'll probably be for a quarterback.Recent history suggests the approximate price for moving up in the top 10 is two first-round picks. Whichever signal-caller the Broncos were to take at No. 3 could sit behind Joe Flacco until he's deemed ready to take over.Steelers trade up to select LBIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyFull trade: Bills trade No. 9 pick to Steelers for No. 20 pick, 2nd-round pick, 2020 4th-round pickThe Steelers rarely trade up in Round 1, but with the clock ticking on Ben Roethlisberger's career, now is the time to flip the script for an impact player.Pittsburgh's defense hasn't been the same since losing Ryan Shazier. There are two linebackers in this draft, LSU's Devin White and Michigan's Devin Bush, capable of filling Shazier's void. Both are expected to be off the board before No. 20 comes around, so the Steelers need to be aggressive.Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he sees no glaring holes on his roster, meaning a move down the board in favor of accumulating picks could be the play for Buffalo. Pittsburgh acquired the second pick of the third round (No. 66 overall) in the Antonio Brown trade, so dealing away its second-rounder (No. 52) for an elite defensive talent shouldn't be too tough a pill to swallow.Vikings deal Rhodes to BrownsFull trade: Vikings trade CB Xavier Rhodes to Browns for WR Rashard Higgins, 4th-round pickMinnesota boasts a surplus of corners and needs a third receiver, while Cleveland possesses an excess of wideouts and requires a starting corner - you see where this is going.The Vikings have Xavier Rhodes coming off a down year, perhaps in part because of injuries. The 28-year-old is one season removed from a Pro Bowl selection. He's expensive, though, and the cap-strapped Vikings need room for other moves, not to mention Trae Waynes is slated for free agency next offseason.Cleveland has Rashard Higgins, a nice secondary option who would fit in nicely behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs on the receiver depth chart in Minnesota. While Higgins is a nice piece, the Browns will likely lose him on the open market in 2020 if they don't move him earlier - they already have huge long-term contracts committed to Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.Rhodes has the more impressive resume, so the Vikings should command a mid-round pick in addition to Higgins to consummate the deal.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

With two days to go until the 2019 NFL Draft and Kyler Murray speculation at its peak, the Arizona Cardinals don't appear to be heavily involved in Josh Rosen trade talks.The Cardinals have yet to call a number of quarterback-needy teams to discuss a deal for their starting signal-caller, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.Arizona and general manager Steve Keim have yet to make a firm decision on who to select No. 1 overall, Rapoport adds, and have informed neither Murray nor Rosen of their intentions.Meanwhile, Rosen is expected to attend veteran minicamp this week and has consistently been at the team facility despite ongoing trade rumors.The young passer called his uncertain future with the Cardinals "annoying" in an interview with Sports Illustrated last week.Arizona traded up to the 10th overall pick last year to snag the UCLA product. But with noted Murray fan Kliff Kingsbury taking over as head coach, Rosen's place with the team is seemingly in jeopardy after a disappointing rookie season.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

A lot is riding on the draft, which runs from Thursday to Saturday. The futures of NFL franchises will turn based on the decisions made inside 32 war rooms.Some teams, however, have more riding on this year's draft than others. Here are five teams that must get their selections right this week:New York GiantsDave Gettleman insists he has a plan. With three selections within the first 37 picks of this draft, that plan must begin paying dividends.The Giants own two first-round picks thanks to the trade of Odell Beckham to Cleveland. The deal caught Giants supporters by surprise and left the second-year general manager with many questions to answer.Gettleman asked for trust and patience, something New York fan bases aren't known to have in abundance. If the Giants come away with pieces that will expedite their rebuild, it should put a stop to the incessant bashing in the New York tabloids - for the weekend, at least.Dallas CowboysJoe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / GettyNo, the Cowboys do not own a first-round pick, but the draft isn't any less important to them.Dallas traded its first-round pick to acquire receiver Amari Cooper last season, but the Cowboys still own one second- and third-round pick, two fourth-round selections, and a fifth- and seventh-rounder. They need to nail as many of them as possible.The Cowboys already have $60 million in 2020 cap space tied up in DeMarcus Lawrence, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, and Travis Frederick. With offensive stars Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Cooper due lucrative multi-year contracts of their own, that number could reach north of $100 million.With so much of the salary cap already accounted for, the Cowboys will have to flush out the roster with cheap, productive players.Dallas hit on its first three picks in the 2018 draft (Leighton Vander Esch, Connor Williams, Michael Gallup). That trend will have to continue if the Cowboys are to have the necessary support for their headliners.Oakland RaidersThis draft will likely determine whether Jon Gruden's 10-year, $100-million deal with the Raiders is a success or not.With three first-round picks, he and new GM Mike Mayock will go about rebuilding the Raiders as they see fit.If they can make the right moves, the team could find itself on the ascent just in time for its move to Las Vegas. A poor draft could set the franchise back for years. The Raiders picked JaMarcus Russell first overall in 2007 and didn't have a winning record again until 2016.Gruden recently cautioned Mayock: "Don't mess it up, dude." The Raiders can't afford to.Green Bay PackersStacy Revere / Getty Images Sport / GettyWith Aaron Rodgers entering his 15th season and his late 30s, the Packers went for it this offseason, breaking from the norm by signing expensive free agents Za'Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Adrian Amos.The Pack can continue to move with that urgency by using their two first-round picks on prospects who can contribute right away.As long as Rodgers is leading the way, the Packers would be wise to put all their resources into surrounding him with adequate talent. In that respect, every draft carries great importance, but never so much as this year with the team carrying the 12th and 30th overall selections.Washington RedskinsThe Redskins are one of the few teams in this year's draft that still need a quarterback. Sure, they have Alex Smith, Colt McCoy, and Case Keenum all under contract, but Smith's future is uncertain due to a broken leg, McCoy has a year left and is recovering from a broken leg of his own, and Keenum is under contract only for 2019.With Smith's $94-million contract on the books, the club can't afford a veteran solution.It's imperative, then, that the Redskins find the quarterback of their future. They own the 15th pick and could move up to get their guy if need be.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

The 2019 NFL Draft is merely days away. While every team brings a different strategy to the table, landing the best player available while also plugging a roster hole is the perfect scenario. Let's play matchmaker for all 32 teams and identify one ideal pick for each club.Arizona CardinalsKyler Murray, QB (Oklahoma)The Cardinals don't appear sold on Josh Rosen as their quarterback of the future, so trading him and drafting Murray is the most logical way to select a new face of the franchise. The former Sooner is the top passer in this year's class and he's familiar with Kliff Kingsbury's offense. Murray can thrive running the new head coach's system.Atlanta FalconsEd Oliver, DL (Houston)Oliver may not be around when Atlanta is on the clock at No. 14, but a trade up to secure one of the draft's top prospects could be on the horizon. The dominant interior lineman would be the final piece of the puzzle, and he could push a young Falcons defense to elite status. Oliver is a perfect fit in Dan Quinn's defense.Baltimore RavensIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyDeebo Samuel, WR (South Carolina)The Ravens need to upgrade their receiving corps and give Lamar Jackson a chance to reach his full passing potential. Samuel is a strong fit for the offense Baltimore will build around its young quarterback because of his versatility and ability to make plays after the catch. He could be available in the third round, but the Ravens may have to trade up to get him since they don't have the benefit of a second-round selection.Buffalo BillsD.K. Metcalf, WR (Ole Miss)Whether it's with their early first-round pick, following a trade down from that spot, or perhaps even selecting him in the second round, the possibility of pairing Metcalf with Josh Allen should intrigue the Bills. He's a physical freak with a rare combination of size and speed, and Metcalf would be the perfect player to grow alongside Buffalo's young, big-armed quarterback.Carolina PanthersRashan Gary, DL (Michigan)The Panthers' pass rush mustered just 35 sacks last season - ranking 27th in the NFL. Ron Rivera will surely be searching for his Julius Peppers replacement on the edge and may not have to look further than Gary. The former Wolverine possesses tantalizing upside as a pass-rusher and run defender, and he'd fit Carolina's preference for big and long defensive ends.Chicago BearsDarrell Henderson, RB (Memphis)Chicago currently doesn't hold a pick until late in the third round (No. 87 overall), but that doesn't mean the Bears can't add another offensive playmaker. With Jordan Howard shipped to the Philadelphia Eagles, the explosive Henderson profiles as Tarik Cohen's ideal backfield companion.Cincinnati BengalsIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyDevin White, LB (LSU)Cincinnati enters the draft with several holes to fill, none more glaring than at linebacker. White is a unique prospect, as off-ball linebackers aren't often drafted early in the first round. There are few players in this draft with his athletic upside, and he could be an every-down difference-maker in the middle for years to come.Cleveland BrownsAmani Oruwariye, CB (Penn State)After successfully rebuilding following numerous years in the basement, the Browns don't have many needs. Cornerback is one that stands out, though, as Cleveland should be seeking a long-term starter to pair with Denzel Ward. Oruwaryie's excellent size and athleticism make him a strong second-round target for Steve Wilks' zone-heavy defense.Dallas CowboysDre'Mont Jones, DL (Ohio State)The Cowboys' first selection will come near the end of the second round, having traded their first-round pick to the Oakland Raiders for Amari Cooper. Dallas will be targeting a one-gap interior rusher to complement DeMarcus Lawrence on the edge, and Jones is the perfect Day 2 prospect for that need.Denver BroncosDrew Lock, QB (Missouri)The Joe Flacco trade shouldn't stop Denver from taking another swing on a quarterback in this draft. Lock comes with question marks, but much like Broncos general manager John Elway in his playing days, he's an extremely talented passer who can make any throw. He could be groomed behind Flacco before taking over midseason or in 2020.Detroit LionsIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyByron Murphy, CB (Washington)The Lions' secondary lacks stability opposite Darius Slay, and Murphy would be an instant upgrade over Teez Tabor and Rashaan Melvin. Having two outside corners who thrive in zone coverage would create a potentially dominant trio alongside Justin Coleman manning the slot.Green Bay PackersA.J. Brown, WR (Ole Miss)Brian Gutekunst drafted a trio of Day 3 receivers in 2018, but that shouldn't stop him from selecting one of the top pass-catchers in this year's draft. If Aaron Rodgers is given a crafty slot receiver who thrives in traffic and after the catch - similar to Randall Cobb early in his career - opposing defenses would have a tough time slowing him down. Brown is a perfect second-day target for the Packers.Houston TexansAndre Dillard, OT (Washington State)Addressing the offensive line is a must for Houston. Dillard might be the best pass-protector in this class, giving the Texans a relatively easy decision if he's still on the board at No. 23. Houston could even consider a trade up if a run on tackles starts early.Indianapolis ColtsN'Keal Harry, WR (Arizona State)Finding a No. 2 receiver should be a priority for the Colts, and Harry's ability to win with size and physicality makes him a strong complement to T.Y. Hilton. Indy may want to look elsewhere with its first-round pick, making the early second-rounder acquired from the Jets last year a great spot to scoop up the Arizona State star.Jacksonville JaguarsIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyT.J. Hockenson, TE (Iowa)Hockenson is the rare tight end worthy of coming off the board at No. 7. He can impact the game both as a receiver and an in-line blocker, making him a cornerstone piece capable of filling a major need for Jacksonville's new-look offense.Kansas City ChiefsGreedy Williams, CB (LSU)Kansas City should be looking to bolster its secondary early in this draft, making Williams an ideal first-round target. The LSU product's size, speed, and coverage versatility would be key for a Chiefs defense likely to utilize both man and zone concepts under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.Los Angeles ChargersJerry Tillery, DL (Notre Dame)The Chargers already have one of the league's premier pass-rushing duos with Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa on the edge. Tillery can bring the missing element of interior pressure. If he turns his flashes of brilliance into consistent production, the Chargers will be nearly impossible for opposing offenses to plan against.Los Angeles RamsDexter Lawrence, DL (Clemson)Lawrence is a perfect replacement for the likely departing Ndamukong Suh in the middle of an aggressive Rams defense. The mammoth defensive tackle can occupy multiple offensive linemen, giving Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, and Los Angeles' dynamic linebackers more opportunities to make plays in the backfield.Miami DolphinsFrederick Breedon / Getty Images Sport / GettyJawaan Taylor, OT (Florida)If the Dolphins are waiting until 2020 to draft a franchise quarterback, resources should be allocated to solidifying the offensive line beforehand. Taylor is a dominant run-blocker who can also shut down the edge in pass protection, making him an immediate-impact starter at right tackle.Minnesota VikingsJonah Williams, OT (Alabama)Minnesota hasn't added a starting-caliber offensive lineman this offseason, and Williams is arguably the top blocker available in this year's draft. Whether it's at offensive tackle or guard, the former Crimson Tide lineman projects as a Week 1 starter and an instant upgrade for a depleted unit.New England PatriotsHakeem Butler, WR (Iowa State)A boundary receiver to play alongside the Patriots' several slot-specific pass-catchers should be among the team's top priorities. Butler is a massive big-play target who can produce at all levels of the field, and he would open things up for others underneath.New Orleans SaintsChristian Miller, Edge (Alabama)The Saints are in a good spot entering the draft, even without a first-round pick. With few weaknesses on the roster, New Orleans can improve its pass rush with the team's only Day 2 selection. Miller has intriguing potential and could be an impact third-down pass-rusher behind Cameron Jordan and Marcus Davenport.New York GiantsIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyDwayne Haskins, QB (Ohio State)Dave Gettleman may still be enamored with Eli Manning, but the opportunity to secure the veteran's successor is staring him in the face. Haskins fits Pat Schurmur's offense to a tee, and he would immediately boost his surrounding talent. If a quarterback is indeed New York's primary target, the former Buckeye is the ideal match.New York JetsJosh Allen, Edge (Kentucky)Allen landing with the Jets would be one of the more sensible fits atop this year's draft. New York has long passed up much-needed opportunities to fill a void on the edge, and the Jets fell short again this offseason when Anthony Barr backed out of a free-agent deal. Allen's pass-rushing prowess would complement Leonard Williams on the interior.Oakland RaidersClelin Ferrell, Edge (Clemson)The Raiders have to come out of this draft with a top edge talent. Ferrell is a quality choice because of his length, bulk, and advanced technique. His skill set fits the mold of the pass-rusher Oakland will likely be targeting.Philadelphia EaglesJeffery Simmons, DL (Mississippi State)Is there a better fit for Simmons than in Jim Schwartz's defense? The talented defensive tackle is likely to miss most, if not all, of his rookie campaign after tearing his ACL in February. But there aren't many other holes on the Eagles' roster, and they can afford to be patient. Long term, Simmons would form an unstoppable tandem with Fletcher Cox.Pittsburgh SteelersJoe Robbins / Getty Images Sport / GettyDevin Bush, LB (Michigan)It seems unlikely that one of the top linebackers is available at No. 20, so perhaps a trade up would be in order to make this happen. Either way, this is the dream scenario for the Steelers. Bush is the ideal modern linebacker prospect who enters the NFL with sideline-to-sideline range and an ability to drop into coverage and make an impact on passing downs.San Francisco 49ersNick Bosa, Edge (Ohio State)Bosa to the 49ers is perfect for both parties. The Ohio State product would lead a talented front four opposite Dee Ford in an aggressive defense. With Bosa on the edge, San Francisco could line up 2017 first-rounder Solomon Thomas at defensive tackle more often, which is where he thrives in passing situations.Seattle SeahawksNasir Adderley, S (Delaware)Earl Thomas has officially departed Seattle, so why not target his replacement early in the 2019 draft? Though not as polished as Thomas, Adderley is an instinctual safety with blazing speed and excellent ball skills. The Legion of Boom may have disbanded, but there's no reason the Seahawks' defense can't return to dominant form with Adderley as a key piece.Tampa Bay BuccaneersIcon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / GettyQuinnen Williams, DL (Alabama)Williams dropping to No. 5 doesn't appear to be the likeliest scenario as the draft approaches, but he'd be an excellent fit in Todd Bowles' defense. Dominant in every phase of the game, the Outland Trophy winner would form a dynamic duo with last year's first-rounder Vita Vea as a 3-technique interior rusher, especially if Tampa Bay moves on from Gerald McCoy.Tennessee TitansNoah Fant, TE (Iowa)The Titans' passing game was among the league's worst last year, but it really doesn't seem that far away from being competitive. After building the receiving corps with recent draft picks and this year's free-agent signing of Adam Humphries, a dynamic pass-catcher like Fant, who'd work in tandem with Delanie Walker before taking over as the lead tight end, could be a matchup nightmare, moving all over the field and truly opening up the offense.Washington RedskinsBrian Burns, Edge (Florida State)With the Redskins losing Preston Smith in free agency, Burns would be an excellent bookend to Ryan Kerrigan if the team opts against taking a first-round quarterback (or trades for Josh Rosen). Joining Kerrigan, Jonathan Allen, Da'Ron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, and Reuben Foster, Burns would help form a potentially dominant front seven while wreaking havoc on opposing blockers.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Former Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary had his shoulder flagged for a labral tear during medical evaluations leading up to Thursday's NFL draft, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.Gary suffered the ailment in college, but most teams believe he'll be able to play his rookie year and possibly have surgery afterward, Rapoport adds. However, the injury will likely have to be managed.One of the top defensive prospects in this year's class, Gary is fully expected to be a first-round selection Thursday and could even be selected in the top ten.The versatile defender missed time during his final year with the Wolverines with an ailing shoulder but didn't go under the knife.Gary recorded 3.5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for a loss in nine games this past season. He's received first-round buzz throughout the offseason due in large part to his high-end athleticism and untapped potential.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

The Los Angeles Chargers have exercised the fifth-year option on defensive end Joey Bosa, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.Bosa was selected No. 3 overall in 2016 and now has two years remaining on his rookie deal. He's set to make $720,000 in base salary this season and $14.36 million in 2020.A star from the moment he stepped on the field, Bosa has developed into one of the NFL's premier edge rushers. The 23-year-old has accumulated 28.5 sacks and forced five fumbles over three campaigns.The defensive end missed the first nine games of the 2018 season with a foot injury. He recorded 5.5 sacks in Los Angeles' final six contests.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Odell Beckham Jr. took to Twitter on Monday to respond to New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman's veiled comments about the All-Star receiver.Asked in a Saturday interview if the Giants had a culture problem, Gettleman responded: "Not anymore."Though the GM didn't mention Beckham by name, the Cleveland Browns wideout addressed Gettleman's comment and his time in New York in a series of tweets."Yes, I'm cancer to a place that's OK (with) losing," he tweeted.

A week after signing his extension, Russell Wilson is paying it forward.The Seattle Seahawks quarterback gifted each of his offensive linemen $12,000 in Amazon stock, according to ESPN.The 30-year-old wrote a letter expressing his gratitude to all 13 linemen."You sacrifice your physical and mental well-being to protect me, which in turn allows me to provide and care for my family," Wilson wrote. "This does not go unnoticed and it is never forgotten."Wilson said he wanted to provide a gift that would have a long-term impact on his teammates and their families."You have invested in my life," Wilson wrote. "This is my investment into yours."Amazon's headquarters are located in Seattle.Wilson became the highest-paid player in the NFL when he signed a four-year, $140-million extension last week.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The reason for a lack of communication between Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and head coach Doug Marrone has been discovered.Ramsey responded Friday after Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin said he was disappointed the team didn't have full attendance for voluntary offseason conditioning programs.The cornerback said he was training in Nashville and, despite Marrone saying his attempts to contact the 24-year-old went unanswered, the team knew why he wasn't in Jacksonville.It turns out Marrone had the wrong number."Had a great talk," Marrone said, according to Mark Long of The Associated Press. "He's training with his brother. He's in Nashville. He's spending time with his family. He said he's going to come back in the best shape he's ever been in and he's all fired up. That was pretty much the conversation. It was a good conversation. I was concerned, obviously, because I was texting a number I thought was his and he wasn't getting back to me."I couldn't figure out what was going on, so we kind of had a little laugh about it. Now I have the right number. He's always had my number, so it's good."Ramsey had been in contact with cornerbacks coach Tim Walton but both Marrone and director of player development Marcus Pollard had the wrong number listed for the two-time Pro Bowler.Linebacker Telvin Smith was the only other absence during the offseason program.It's the second straight year Ramsey has missed this portion of the offseason.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Donovan McNabb backtracked Monday after he said over the weekend that the Philadelphia Eagles should move on from quarterback Carson Wentz if he can't lead the team out of the second round of the playoffs."For those of you who misread, didn't understand, were confused or just didn't like my comments let me clarify it for you," McNabb wrote in a series of tweets. "Let me start by saying there's no beef, riff or ill-will toward (Wentz) or the (Eagles). My comments were strictly based off of experience and understanding of how the business of football works."You are consistently evaluated (every day), every game and if you are reliable and or healthy enough to play. I know at times as players and fans it can be confusing to move on from a beloved player but due to the business of health and trust tough decisions are usually made."Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson tweeted at McNabb on Sunday after his initial comments about Wentz aired on "The Zach Gelb Show."

Washington Redskins senior vice president of player personnel Doug Williams acknowledged Monday that his team could select a quarterback with the 15th overall pick in the NFL draft."We needed a quarterback and we were able to trade for Case (Keenum) but that does not put us out of the realm of picking a quarterback if there is one there that we like at 15," he said. "We don't know who is going to be there at 15. We got some guys that we do like, and if those guys are there, then that is a discussion that has to be had."Washington has been heavily rumored to be keeping tabs on the quarterback class leading up to the draft. Last year's starter, Alex Smith, faces an uphill battle to resume his career after a post-op infection in his broken leg led to several more surgeries.The Redskins acquired Keenum from the Denver Broncos early in the offseason, but he isn't viewed as a long-term solution.At least three quarterbacks - Oklahoma's Kyler Murray, Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins, and Missouri's Drew Lock - are projected to come off the board in the opening round Thursday in Nashville.Despite Washington's interest in the signal-callers, Williams suggested the team probably won't trade up to get one of them."I've said all along, the chance of trading up is a lot slimmer than trading back," he told reporters. "... I'm going to go on the record and say that's a possibility that we won't trade up, but there's a great possibility we'll trade back if that opportunity came."Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Despite spending one of their 30 available pre-draft visits on a well-regarded quarterback prospect, the Green Bay Packers said Monday they aren't looking for Aaron Rodgers' heir apparent."The whole succession plan thing I think is a little bit overhyped," general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters, courtesy of Packers News' Olivia Reiner."We value that position extremely highly," he added. "Every year we spend a lot of time on the quarterbacks and trying to figure out what kind of players those guys are going to be in the NFL. That's really, really important to us. If you don't have one, it's really tough to win in this league."The Packers brought in Drew Lock, a projected first-round pick out of Missouri, for a pre-draft workout. The visit prompted speculation that Green Bay could use one of its two first-round selections on a pivot and develop the future face of the franchise behind Rodgers like he was once groomed behind Brett Favre.Rodgers, who turned 35 in December, is coming off a down year by his standards after battling through a tibial plateau fracture and an MCL sprain suffered in Week 1."We're lucky to have the best player in the NFL playing that position right now," Gutekunst said, in reference to Rodgers. "But at the same time ... your needs can change just like that. I think we're just doing due diligence."Green Bay has struggled to survive when injuries have forced Rodgers out of the lineup. DeShone Kizer operated as the backup quarterback last year.Rodgers was named league MVP in 2011 and 2014. He finished last season with 25 passing touchdowns - his lowest total in a full season as the starter - though he also committed just two interceptions.Copyright © 2019 Score Media Ventures Inc.
