TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals' rebuilding project is about to hit one of its most important moments. Second-year general manager Monti Ossenfort has been building toward this draft since he was hired in January 2023 , and the Cardinals currently have 11 picks, including six selections in the top 90. It's a great opportunity to add more elite talent to a roster that could use it. The Cardinals finished with a 4-13 record last season, but were much more competitive after quarterback...
RENTON, Wash. (AP) For the first time in 14 years, general manager John Schneider will be leaning on a new voice inside the Seattle Seahawks draft room. The influence Pete Carroll carried as Schneider's partner when it came to putting together the plans for how Seattle would approach the draft is no longer there. And while the draft has often been Schneider's show to run in the past, it will be a different dynamic with Carroll no longer by his side . Seattle has seven picks entering this...
LOS ANGELES (AP) The most recent time the Los Angeles Rams made a first-round pick in the NFL draft, Sean McVay was Washington's offensive coordinator and Puka Nacua was a high school freshman. That was way back in 2016, just after the Rams moved back home to Los Angeles from St. Louis. General manager Les Snead's team was nothing special at that time following 12 consecutive non-winning seasons, and the Rams decided they needed to make a big splash in Hollywood by trading up for Jared Goff...
Patriots de facto general manager Eliot Wolf served as assistant general manager with the Browns when they made quarterback Baker Mayfield the first pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) The NFL draft is not so much a marathon weekend as it is a season of speculation and subterfuge, a made-for-TV mystery unfolding team by team across the league . Minnesota's motive has been clear, actually, for two years. The Vikings are as poised as ever to take a quarterback in the first round. From the day Kevin O'Connell was hired as head coach, following the arrival of general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in the momentous leadership change they made in 2022, the Vikings...
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Howie Roseman wants Philadelphia Eagles draft prospects to take a lesson out of the recent retirements of franchise stalwarts Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. The Eagles general manager wants potential Eagles to see the likes of DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson and Brandon Graham continue to earn contract extensions and big money years after they're drafted by the team. The lesson in both instances? "It's a great success story for us to be able to draft guys and sign them...
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane offered up an interesting quote on Thursday regarding the status of the team's wide receiver room.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) General manager Tom Fitzgerald is looking for a new coach for the New Jersey Devils and interim skipper Travis Green remains in the running for the job. Speaking three days after the Devils ended a disappointing season by missing the playoffs, Fitzgerald said he hopes to have a full-time coach in place for the NHL draft in late June. "Travis is well aware of my intentions," Fitzgerald said Thursday. "I owe it to the organization to make sure I was following the coaching...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Chiefs general manager Brett Veach tends to stick with the well-worn mantra of taking the "best player available" when the NFL draft rolls around. However he also is willing to acknowledge that sometimes specific needs might make that a challenge. There are couple of very specific needs as Kansas City prepares to make its selections beginning April 25. The Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl, and third in five years, despite a wide receiver group that struggled...
General manager Don Waddell likes how his Carolina Hurricanes finished the season, winning 16 of their final 21 games. He knows it means nothing now. "Your points get erased and you all start with zeroes," Waddell said. "Playoffs are a different time. That's what's great about the NHL. Once you get to the playoffs, it's wide open." This year more than many in the recent past. Unlike last year, when Boston broke league records for the most wins and points in a season,...
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) Running back J.K. Dobbins signed a one-year contract with the Chargers on Thursday, continuing the run of former Baltimore Ravens coming to Los Angeles. Dobbins is the fourth former Ravens player signed by general manager Joe Hortiz, who joined the Chargers in February after a long tenure in Baltimore, including the past 10 as director of college scouting. Dobbins averaged 5.8 rushing yards per carry the past four seasons, which leads the league among players with a minimum...
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars have been mostly inept at drafting wide receivers. They've repeatedly dropped the ball. They have selected nine wideouts over the first three rounds of the NFL draft in three decades of existence, and only two of those guys (DJ Chark and Allen Robinson) notched 1,000-yard seasons and just one (Marqise Lee) signed a second contract with Jacksonville. It's a head-scratching stretch of futility the Jags hope to end in 2024. General manager Trent...
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) For Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard, this was a different kind of offseason. Instead of searching for a new starting quarterback or deciphering how free agents might conform to a new coach's offensive philosophy, he remained focused on improving the supporting cast around second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. Ballard re-signed receiver Michael Pittman Jr., defensive backs Kenny Moore II and Julian Blackmon and defensive tackle Grover Stewart. He gave...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Tennessee Titans have been among the league's biggest spenders in free agency, and they still won't be able to fill all the remaining holes with only seven selections in this NFL draft . Neither general manager Ran Carthon nor first-year head coach Brian Callahan are giving hints to the position Tennessee will fill first. Even after a busy start to free agency, this remains a roster under major renovation after losing 18 of 24 games to cost Mike Vrabel his job after...
It was clear from the start of this offseason that the Baltimore Ravens were going to lose quite a few players to free agency. Now that the extent of those exits is a little more clear, they'll have a chance to do some real adding in the draft. "Obviously, it's always hard to see some of your favorite players go to other teams. I mean, that's been a challenge," general manager Eric DeCosta said. "But in terms of just being in a good spot, the vibe has been good. We're...
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) One day, Brandon Beane joked the Buffalo Bills are going to select a receiver in each of the seven rounds of the NFL draft. The next, the Bills general manager saying there's no lock he's drafting a receiver in the first round. Don't be fooled. Hard as Beane has been working at trying to keep everyone guessing in the wake of trading Stefon Diggs to Houston , it would be difficult to imagine the Bills passing up on filling what stands as their biggest need and...
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The NFL draft board is wide open for Joe Douglas and the New York Jets. And they might end up facing quite the dilemma. With the 10th overall pick, Douglas could go with another playmaker to help Aaron Rodgers get the Jets into the end zone consistently. Or, the general manager could target another offensive lineman to make sure the 40-year-old quarterback stays upright after his debut with New York lasted just four plays last season because of a torn Achilles tendon. "Well...

BEREA, Ohio (AP) While Deshaun Watson's rehab from right shoulder surgery is on a conservative track, the Cleveland Browns are expecting the quarterback to be ready for their season opener. "We feel really good about it," general manager Andrew Berry said Thursday at his annual pre-draft news conference. "I'm not going to make any predictions, just because you just never know. But that's certainly our expectation." Watson suffered a fracture to the glenoid bone in his...
