The Los Angeles Rams are likely beginning to set their sights on a handful of prospects who they would love to draft with the 26th overall pick in Round 1. However, as Les Snead always says, the enemy has a say, and someone might like those prospects as much as the Rams, if not more.
That could leave Los Angeles without its favorite prospects on the board at No. 26, forcing the front office to pivot. It’s hard to know which players will still be available that late in the round, but ESPN Analytics attempted to predict who will be on the board when the Rams go on the clock.

We’re just a week away from the start of the 2025 Masters. It’s so close you can smell the azaleas and pimento cheese sandwiches. While it’s a guarantee that this year’s tournament will deliver the goods just like everyone before it, the biggest question heading into the year’s first major championship is who will be adding a green jacket to their wardrobe Sunday afternoon.
To help try to answer that question, Oddspedia put its supercomputer to work.

One of Europe’s most successful players in history did not hold back when talking about LIV Golf.
Many American golf fans will see a LIV Golf event for the first time this year when the league tees it up on the Blue Monster at Doral in Miami this weekend.
And then, 12 LIV Golfers, including Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, will head to Augusta National next week to compete in The Masters Tournament.

The Dolphins signed former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson to a one-year deal last month to be Tua Tagovailoa’s backup in 2025.
At the annual league meeting in Palm Beach this week, head coach Mike McDaniel called Wilson “a direct, calculated target.”
“To be quite frank, it’s an inexact science, but we thought he was the best option for us,” McDaniel said, via transcript from the team. “We thought that was a way that the Miami Dolphins could get better and are excited to see how he seizes that opportunity.

With three weeks until the NFL Draft we have a little more insight into what might happen. It’s not a solid picture, but more like a jello picture — one with a little wiggle, but we can understand the basic form of the thing.
A lot has changed since the pre-draft process began in earnest at the NFL Scouting Combine. Today we’re diving in to the players whose stock has drastically gone up or down, because nobody at all in the world is talking about stocks right now.

Spring practice is underway at Auburn, and it’s time to preview another position group ahead of A-Day, which will take place on Saturday, April 12 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The next position group that we will examine in our spring breakdown series is the offensive line, which will feature many fresh faces. The Tigers return a few familiar names from the 2024 team, and will welcome two new players from the transfer portal. Tackle Percy Lewis left the team after the season and is now an Ole Miss Rebel.

When Walter Clayton Jr. backpedaled, passing up a layup for the go-ahead 3-pointer to give Florida basketball the lead at long last, all Terrence McGriff saw around him at the Chase Center in San Francisco were smiles and cheers of relief.
Yet, the only emotion the Bartow basketball head coach could register was tears. Those emotions came from knowing how hard Clayton worked to reach this moment.
Four years ago, Clayton held just one Division I offer from an in-state school.

To celebrate the season’s first major championship, Golf Pride has released a limited-edition collection of full swing and putter grips, Honorary Starter.
Adorned in vibrant green and trimmed with pink azaleas, the Honorary Starter Tour Velvet grips will feel and perform like the standard Tour Velvet grips, which are among the most popular in the game, but give your clubs a jolt of early-season style.

Twenty-one days until the NFL Draft. Zero definitive clarity on what’s going to happen. And stepping into the spotlight again on Friday’s Colorado pro day, two of the main culprits of confusion: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter.
For a league that continually tries to engineer and sustain as much draft suspense as possible, the top of this year’s class has been an endless gift to the NFL. So much so, two of the potential top four picks can still dramatically impact the top of the board this week.

There are some questions around how this prospect fits into Jacksonville’s offensive line, but there’s no question about his potential.
The Jacksonville Jaguars ended the 2024 season with a 4-13 record that was spurred on by a regressing offense and a defense that ranked 31st in total yards allowed. This is a franchise that needs help on both sides of the ball despite having some talented players on either side.
The Jags could go in a number of directions here. Michigan’s Mason Graham is the best defensive player left on the board.
