NFL Draft 2026 best available players for Denver Broncos: Mike Washington, Jacob Rodriguez
The Broncos are bystanders no more.General manager George Paton, coach Sean Payton and the rest of Denver’s personnel staff watched the first round of the NFL Draft from their team facility as action spun around them. By virtue of their trade for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in March, the Broncos had no first-round pick. It was the third time in five years that Denver did not turn in a name on the draft’s first night.Now, the action at Denver’s headquarters begins.As we head into Day 2, here is a...
College football transfer portal OL rankings: LSU's Jordan Seaton tops the list
Although quarterbacks come at the highest premiums in the transfer portal, the men who protect them — offensive linemen — are heavily prioritized as well. Good trench players are invaluable, and the quality of an offensive line can make or break a team’s season, which is why Power 4 teams are willing to spend upper-six figures and even seven figures for top transfers at those positions.Advertisement
Chelsea's players helped create this mess. Now they must clear it up
Is this a new era of player power at Chelsea?The question seems an unlikely one, given how frequently a perceived lack of dressing-room leadership is cited by critics as one of the key flaws in this BlueCo project. But there is no doubt that Liam Rosenior’s demise, less than four months into a six-and-a-half-year contract as Chelsea head coach, was in part the result of his lack of authority over his former squad.Advertisement
With backs 'against the wall', it's time for the Senators' best players to step up
OTTAWA — Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk couldn’t believe he missed a chance to beat Carolina Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen in the second period Thursday night. He slammed the bench door, and the wham was heard from as high as the Canadian Tire Centre rafters.In that same period, Tim Stützle was visibly frustrated as he received instructions from coach Travis Green. In a series where Stützle and his teammates barely had any room to manoeuvre, it was getting to him. By the end of the...
Bears' selection of Dillon Thieneman adds speed, spark, violence to their defense
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles passed up a chance to pick an offensive lineman or a pass rusher at No. 25 in Thursday night’s NFL Draft, instead choosing to add speedy Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman to pair with free-agent addition Coby Bryant in a new-look safety unit that features speed and versatility. Both are necessary skills to have in the back of the defense when you still don’t have enough up front.Advertisement
Four things the Wild must change to earn Game 4 win and even series against Stars
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Is this 2023 all over again?In a series the Minnesota Wild look right on par with the Dallas Stars, Kirill Kaprizov once again can’t get going, the Wild once again keep parading to the penalty box, they are once again hemorrhaging on the penalty kill, and their power play once again smells like a beer league locker room.Advertisement

'Ornery' Jaden McDaniels backs up 'bad defenders' talk with a playoff masterpiece
MINNEAPOLIS — There is a coldness to Jaden McDaniels that borders on frightening.When he sat in front of his locker after Game 2, hoodie pulled over his head, and started reciting the names of Denver defenders for whom he has no respect, he did so with an icy, emotionless look in his eyes, like Arya Stark listing the names of targets she intended to vanquish in “Game of Thrones.”Advertisement

With Spencer Fano and KC Concepcion picks, Browns GM Andrew Berry swings at past struggles
The failures of the past set up Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry for perhaps the most predictable first round of any team in the NFL Draft. In this instance, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.The Browns have a history of sometimes outsmarting themselves and trying to create a zag rather than following a simple zig. Not this time. They finished last season devoid of protectors and playmakers on offense, so it should be no surprise that they selected a left tackle in Utah’s Spencer F...
