Throughout the pre-draft process, scouts will identify a handful of prospects they believe will succeed despite their circumstances. These players might lack prototypical size or elite traits, but their passion, performance and production as collegians will prompt talent evaluators to make a compelling case for them in the draft room. In fact, the scouts' belief in the potential of these prospects should encourage them to "plant the flag" when asked […]

It makes sense that an L.A. native is the originator of the Los Angeles Rams draft house — someone intimately familiar with the diverse landscape of the city. Lexi vonderLieth, senior vice president of brand for the Rams, is the brainchild of the draft house. She joined the franchise in 2019, pitching the concept as a big swing to lure sponsors for the franchise. The Rams draft house spawned during […]

Why have one top-10 pick when you could have two? That's what the New York Giants are telling themselves after recently acquiring the No. 10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft from the Cincinnati Bengals for star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence; New York already had the No. 5 pick.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that he's had "difficult conversations with people I care about," including his family, his coaching staff and players, following the publication of photos of the coach and longtime NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort. "Those [conversations] have been positive and productive. In order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me. […]

But after that, the odds say that prominent and predictable positions will immediately follow, as the Jets and Cardinals pick second and third, respectively. Let's check out the odds for the exact order of the top three picks at DraftKings Sportsbook […]

When David Bailey arrived in Lubbock last season after three years at Stanford, Texas Tech’s coaches studied his film and had a thought that changed his career trajectory: What if we make him a true defensive end? It was obvious that Bailey had pass-rush talent, but Stanford utilized it more situationally. He played off the ball some. He dropped into coverage. Stanford was doing "a bunch of things" with him, according […]
