The Raiders spent their 150th overall pick, acquired from the Saints for Tyree Wilson, to select another Arizona safety in Dalton Johnson.

He’ll […]

The Baltimore Ravens needed to add a third safety to unlock Kyle Hamilton’s versatility, and the Los Angeles Chargers needed to add an impactful edge rusher. Neither Odafe Oweh nor Alohi Gilman were thriving with their respective teams, so Eric DeCosta and his former assistant GM Joe Hortiz struck a deal. Original terms of the […]

Trades on the third day of the 2027 NFL Draft were frequent but still irregular, with a lot of unconventional values being assigned. The Jaguars moved up to gain an edge defender, paying 105% book value to move from 124 to 119 by sending pick 166 and only getting back pick 196. This continued a […]
In the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers took a big center in Kentucky’s Jager Burton, who measured in over 6’4” and 312 pounds at the NFL combine earlier this year. On top of breaking the 5-second mark in the 40-yard dash, Burton also ran a 4.52-second short shuttle and […]

Center Parker Brailsford is headed to Cleveland after hearing his name called at the top of the 5th round.
