With Myles Garrett digging in his heels, the Browns decide to take the draft’s top defender in Penn State’s Abdul Carter.
The first week of free agency has come and gone and it went a long way toward changing what was actually the first rendition of this mock draft. We went back to the drawing board over the weekend and I think we’ve got it in a good place following the plethora of events that happened over the last eight or nine days.

F1 rookie Isack Hadjar remains upbeat as he looks ahead to the Chinese Grand Prix
Given the fact that his Formula 1 debut at the Australian Grand Prix ended before it began, with a spin on the formation lap, you might expect Isack Hadjar to have some trepidation ahead of this week’s Chinese Grand Prix.
But that could not be further from the truth.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls driver declared that he felt “more confident” as the grid heads to Shanghai than he did a week ago.

Holy Awkwardness!
A Bulgarian soccer team is getting absolutely ripped across the league after they held a moment of silence for a former player that (they assumed had) passed away… Only to find out that the player is still very much alive and actually in good shape!
Bulgaria’s Arda Kardzhali team was hosting Levski Sofia this past weekend in the country’s Top Flight league, the highest it has to offer, meaning this wasn’t just some rec league making a mistake.

Breaking down which top seeds in the 2025 women’s NCAA tournament can make it to Tampa.
Dawn Staley and Lindsay Gottlieb have both made noise in recent days about their team’s seeding in NCAA tournament. The Gamecocks and Trojans are both No. 1 seeds, but South Carolina is seeded second overall and USC is fourth. UCLA was the No. 1 overall seed, while Texas got the third nod.
But Staley really shouldn’t be complaining.

Receiver Ja’Marr Chase has signed a five-year deal to remain with the Bengals. During Tuesday’s press conference to announce the new contracts signed both by Chase and by teammate Tee Higgins, Chase was asked what it was about Cincinnati (other than the money) that made him choose to commit.
And Chase said in the most tactful and positive way positive that, basically, there’s nothing to do.
“For me, I like Cincinnati because it gives me the opportunity to come here and focus,” Chase said. “You know, I’m not distracted out here. It’s not . . .

In a recent 2025 NFL mock draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars traded back in the first round, added another early-round selection, and bolstered the passing game in the process.
Using PFF’s mock draft simulator, Mason Graham, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter were all off the board, so I opted to trade back from pick No. 5. The Jaguars ended up making a deal with the Dallas Cowboys, trading away the fifth overall pick in return for picks 12 and 44 in the second round. To facilitate this trade and make sure it was fair, I used the Rich Hill trade value chart.

The New Orleans Saints have made a couple of big moves this offseason, but one spot that remains as a massive need is at cornerback.
While the Saints could certainly go with a cornerback in the first round with the ninth pick, they might not love the value there. That is especially the case in Will Johnson goes before that slot. Jahdae Barron is the only other corner worth considering there, but he is more of a slot/nickel guy.
New Orleans may be better off shopping around on Day 2 for a defensive back, which is where they love to target that position anyway.

Jack Gohlke left his Pittsburgh hotel room the morning of March 21, 2024, about as anonymous as a college basketball player can be.
By the time he returned that night, Gohlke had gone from Horizon League obscurity to overnight celebrity.
There was only one reason Oakland coach Greg Kampe called upon Gohlke early in the Golden Grizzlies’ first-round NCAA tournament matchup against Kentucky. Gohlke’s job was to launch threes, to bomb away without a conscience. He took 335 shots during the regular season. All but eight were from behind the arc.

The Lions have re-signed Mitchell Agude for the 2025 season. He was an undrafted rookie with the Lions last year and showed promise towards the end of the season. His injury history over his college and NFL career has been unremarkable, but the calm waters of his football career belie an injury tsunami from his childhood.
INJURY HISTORY (26 years old)
2024 rookie year: No known injuries. Played in 4 of last 5 regular season games. Was a healthy inactive for the playoff game.
College: No significant injuries noted.

This is something else.
The Tokyo Dome was packed to the rafters to see the Dodgers and Cubs compete in the Tokyo Series, and Shohei Ohtani didn’t disappoint. A 5th inning home run was met with one of the best crowd reactions you’ll ever hear.

This was the absolute dream moment that all 45,000 fans hoped to see. A national legend, who will likely surpass Ichiro as the greatest Japanese MLB player of all time, delivering an absolute blast.
