2026 NFL Draft Big Board: Fernando Mendoza Leads 4 QBs in Top 100

  • Overall the class is thinner at the very top but surprisingly deep — especially along the offensive line, defensive line, defensive backfield and wide receiver — with lots of starter-caliber names through the first 100 picks.
  • Quarterback attention centers on Fernando Mendoza as the likely No. 1, but Jeremiyah Love is the true offensive standout (and a top-tier running-back prospect); there are also Day‑2 QB candidates like Carson Beck and Garrett Nussmeier.
  • Plenty of high-upside, conversation-worthy prospects: Reese (Micah Parsons comp) and Bailey as elite pass‑rush types, Sonny Styles and Thieneman turned heads at the Combine, and big-play runners/receivers like Love, Branch and Tyson.

Second Thoughts: Can Will Power, Christian Rasmussen Move on From Phoenix Crash?

  • Heated moment at Phoenix: Rasmussen and Will Power banged wheels, Rasmussen hit the wall — both kept going but were out of contention and no penalty was given.
  • Power owned up and apologized after reviewing the tape; he's frustrated after multiple crashes early with Andretti Global.
  • Rasmussen shrugged it off, stayed optimistic about the car’s speed and future races — “racing is 95% losses,” he said.

USA's Quarterfinals Ticket Wasn't Punched. Now They Don't Control WBC Destiny.

  • Italy stunned Team USA 8-6, turning a celebratory late-night clubhouse into the backdrop for one of the WBC’s biggest upsets.
  • Aaron Judge and manager Mark DeRosa downplayed any letdown—DeRosa admitted he “misspoke” about being already through—while players said they were simply enjoying the shared clubhouse experience.
  • The loss means Team USA no longer controls its fate: if Italy beats Mexico, Italy and the U.S. advance; if Mexico wins and scores 5+ runs, the U.S. advances with Mexico; a Mexico win by 4 runs or fewer would eliminate Team USA.

Maxx Crosby Trade Rumors: Latest News After Ravens Surprisingly Back Out of Deal

  • Maxx Crosby is back in Las Vegas after the Ravens scrapped a trade when he failed their physical — he’s already rehabbing with the Raiders and his camp says he’s on (or ahead of) schedule.
  • Baltimore quickly moved on, signing Trey Hendrickson, and Dallas looks unlikely to rekindle interest after adding Rashan Gary, so Crosby’s immediate market has cooled.
  • The Raiders say they still want a big return (reports say two first-round picks) but now must juggle Crosby’s $35.7M cap hit alongside several costly free-agent signings, making for an interesting offseason dilemma.

Bills QB Josh Allen Restructures Contract to Free Up $12 Million in Cap Space

  • Josh Allen restructured his contract, freeing roughly $12 million in cap space for the Bills.
  • That flexibility helped Buffalo re-sign center Connor McGovern (who said Allen advocated for the deal) and acquire WR DJ Moore.
  • The team is in transition with new head coach Joe Brady and a defensive overhaul under coordinator Jim Leonhard.
