Mock drafts are a key component of draft day preparation. They give you an idea of which players will be available when and how your team will turn out depending on the path you take.
But when it comes time for your actual draft, it’s unlikely that everything falls into place the way it did for you in your 17th mock draft. That’s why you need a plan in place, and a flexible one at that, to set you and your team up for success this season.
That’s what this draft strategy series is all about: Team-building.

Netflix will drop the new series Quarterback on Wednesday, a show that features Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins and now Eagles quarterback but former Falcons player Marcus Mariota.
Two days before the show’s premiere, Netflix released the first four minutes of the show on social media, which starts with a scene of Cousins reading Sports Illustrated Kids‘ “Book of Why” with his son.
Based on this look, the show doesn’t just capture footage of the quarterbacks on the field, but also with their families and at home.

The Spurs are shutting down No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the NBA Summer League after just two games, according to Mike Finger of the San Antonio Express-News.
The 7’ 3 1/2” forward played twice in recent days to begin his NBA career, first a lackluster performance with just nine points and eight rebounds on Friday, then a more impressive 27-point, 12-rebound performance on Sunday.

Slowly but surely, it appears as if Heat fans are inching closer to the dream of Damian Lillard in South Beach becoming a reality. While the rumors surrounding Lillard’s next potential team have cooled off a bit since his initial trade request, the latest update seems to point to talks trending in the right direction.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania joined The Pat McAfee Show Monday afternoon and discussed the latest on trade talks between the Heat and Trail Blazers.

The former President’s golf courses have struggled to land major tournaments outside of LIV Golf since his time in office.

Lovable 7’6” big man Tacko Fall is currently attempting to make an NBA comeback, but video of his unorthodox free throw form has fans clowning the former Celtics center.
Fall, who is playing in the NBA Summer League with the Bucks, was never known as a shooter during his time in college at UCF or during his brief NBA stints with the Celtics and Cavaliers. 
But his herky-jerky form at the charity stripe in Las Vegas has gone viral, with some fans calling it the worst shooting form they’ve ever seen.

Nets GM Sean Marks is remaining optimistic when it comes to the future of Ben Simmons. 
Speaking to reporters after Brooklyn’s Summer League win over the Knicks on Sunday, Marks was asked if he believes Simmons will ever return to his All-Star form displayed early in his career.
Marks indicated that he’s hopeful Simmons can return to past form, citing the former No. 1 pick’s age and health.
“Reasonably, the hope is that he returns to that level of play,” said Marks of Simmons. “If he was 35 years old, I wouldn’t honestly be able to tell you that.

If Day 8 is any indication, the second week of Wimbledon is going to be dynamite.

Attending any professional sporting event in the United States these days is expensive. Tickets, and the third-party fees you have to pay, get consistently higher as does the cost of food and beverage. One aspect that seems to be easily forgotten is the price of parking, but nobody will forget what it costs for Monday night’s Home Run Derby in Seattle.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times headed down to T-Mobile Park early on Monday and snapped a photo of one event parking area that’s charging $120 to park. One hundred and twenty.
