    Jim Furyk will return as United States Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 playing of the event at Adare Manor in Ireland, according to the Associated Press. Furyk previously led the Americans at the 2018 Ryder Cup, where the U.S. suffered a decisive 7-point loss at Le Golf National in Paris.

    The PGA of America has yet to officially announce its decision.

    Tiger Woods was considered by many as the favorite to captain the United States in 2027; the PGA of America had been pursuing him for the position. However, Woods had yet to decide whether he would take the role before removing himself from the selection process after being arrested for DUI in March.

    Furyk, the fourth U.S. captain to reprise his role in the modern Ryder Cup era (since 1979), led a 17.5 to 10.5 loss to the Europeans in 2018, the third-largest defeat for the Americans in event history. His four captain’s picks (Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson and Tony Finau) combined to post a 2-10-0 record in Paris at Le Golf National against a European side led by Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose.

    Furyk served as vice captain in the 2025 Ryder Cup under Keegan Bradley. The Americans trailed by 7 points after the second day of the event before ultimately falling to Europe, 15 to 13, at Bethpage Black in New York.

    The U.S. has lost consecutive Ryder Cups to Europe and dropped seven straight meetings overseas since 1993.

    Luke Donald will lead Europe again in Ireland, aiming to win his third straight Ryder Cup as captain.

    Notes
  • Suns recap and notes

    • Suns’ Jordan Goodwin: Questionable for Saturday

      Goodwin (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Thunder.

      Goodwin is in danger of missing a second straight game due to left calf soreness. However, he was a full participant in Friday’s practice, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up. If the 27-year-old isn’t cleared to play, Ryan Dunn, Royce O’Neale and Collin Gillespie would be candidates for increased playing time.

    • Suns’ Grayson Allen: Iffy for Game 3

      Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Thunder.

      Allen was upgraded from questionable to available ahead of each of Phoenix’s last three games but didn’t see the floor in any of them. He may only be used in an emergency if active, though he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

    • Suns’ Grayson Allen: Full participant in practice

      Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday’s practice, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

      Allen was available only for emergencies in Games 1 and 2 of Phoenix’s first-round series against the Thunder due to a hamstring injury. All signs point toward the sharpshooter suiting up for Game 3 on Saturday, but it’s unknown if the Suns are ready to get Allen back on the floor.

    • Suns’ Jordan Goodwin: Fully practices Friday

      Goodwin (calf) was a full participant in Friday’s practice, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

      Goodwin missed Game 2 on Wednesday versus the Thunder with left calf soreness, which cropped up during Sunday’s Game 1 loss in Oklahoma City. Phoenix’s official injury report should shed more light on the swingman’s chances of playing in Game 3, but Goodwin appears to be progressing well.

  • AZ Cardinals draft notes and recap

    • Cardinals’ Carson Beck: Picked by Arizona

      The Cardinals selected Beck in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 65th overall.

      The Cardinals were looking to add a quarterback in the draft after cutting 2019 first-overall pick Kyler Murray, and Arizona has opted to go with Beck with the first pick of the third round. Beck was a full-time starter in each of his last three years in college, wrapping up his career by leading Miami to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, ultimately falling short to Fernando Mendoza and Indiana. Beck was an All-ACC Third-Team selection in 2025, when he completed 72.4 percent of his passes for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over 16 games. He has an NFL-ready 6-foot-4, 233-pound frame, and Beck looked more comfortable out of the pocket and with his reads as he progressed in his college career, but he did run into some inconsistencies in throwing the deep ball and doesn’t sling the ball as hard as other quarterbacks. He also had turnover issues in college, something he’ll need to clean up if he wants to succeed at the NFL level. Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew are the top QBs on Arizona’s depth chart, but Beck may have the opportunity to compete for the starting job during the offseason program and training camp.

    • Cardinals’ Chase Bisontis: Lands with Cardinals in Round 2

      The Cardinals selected Bisontis in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 34th overall.

      Bisontis (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) was a three-year starter at Texas A&M, boasting rare starting experience for a soon-to-be 22-year-old, and he could challenge Isaiah Adams for the starting RG gig early in his career. Arizona inked Isaac Seumalo to a three-year contract in free agency, solidifying the team’s LG spot, so the selection of Bisontis further firms up the interior O-line to the benefit of No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love.

  • Dbacks notes and recap

    • Diamondbacks’ Tyler Locklear: Taking live at-bats

      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Locklear (elbow) is taking live at-bats and “trending in a positive direction,” Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

      Lovullo said the club may take another image of Locklear’s elbow to ensure there are no setbacks as he takes the next steps in his rehab from elbow and shoulder surgeries. A rehab assignment will certainly take place, at which point, the team will get a better idea of his return timeline.

    • Diamondbacks’ Michael Soroka: Settles for no-decision Thursday

      Soroka took a no-decision Thursday against the White Sox, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six.

      With a favorable home matchup versus the lowly White Sox, Soroka built on his excellent start to the season. The right-hander has now worked at least five innings while giving up two runs or fewer in all but one of his first five outings. While Soroka boasts a 2.60 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 34:7 K:BB over his first 27.2 frames, he’s lined up for a tough test his next time out in Milwaukee.

    • Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll: Batting in No. 3 spot

      Carroll batted third and went 0-for-4 in Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

      Carroll batted third for the first time this season after serving as the No. 2 batter since Opening Day, which will be the arrangement going forward, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. As part of the tweak, Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo will tandem between batting leadoff and second, a couple of good on-base batters that could set up Carroll with more RBI potential. “I think (Marte) and Perdomo are fine, and it will continue to be fine,” Lovullo said. “I just felt like Corbin third with the slug, with two guys potentially getting on base [ahead of him].” Carroll is slashing .296/.396/.580 with three home runs, four triples, six doubles, four steals, 17 RBI and 17 runs scored over 23 contests.

    • Diamondbacks’ Geraldo Perdomo: Moved to leadoff

      Perdomo batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 in Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

      Perdomo hit atop the order for the first time this season, as manager Torey Lovullo plans to platoon the shortstop and Ketel Marte at leadoff, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. The two players operated as tandem leadoff batters over the second half of 2025 — Perdomo against righties, Marte against lefties — so the roles are nothing new to either player. The move coincides with Perdomo catching fire at the dish; he’s hit safely in seven consecutive games, going 13-for-27 with four extra-base hits, two steals, two RBI and four runs scored. As part of the lineup tweak, Corbin Carroll drops from second to third in the order.

    Fernando Mendoza QB, IND

    OVR RK: 1 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 236

    This was a no-brainer. Mendoza was the best quarterback in college football last season. That was especially the case under pressure and in clutch situations. He’s a perfect fit for Klint Kubiak’s offense. (Mike Renner)

    David Bailey EDGE, TXTECH

    OVR RK: 20 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 250

    Bailey is a solid pass-rusher who will give less athletic offensive tackles fits at the next level. He’s a hot and cold run defender, though, who struggles to set the edge. The Jets unfortunately already have one of those in Will McDonald. (Mike Renner)

    Jeremiyah Love RB, ND

    OVR RK: 7 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 214

    Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn’t an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They’ll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length. (Mike Renner)

    Carnell Tate WR, OHIOST

    OVR RK: 18 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 192

    Tate is exactly what the Titans don’t have on their roster: a rangey outside receiver with elite hands and crisp route-running chops. He’ll be a Cam Ward favorite from day one. While he doesn’t fit the physical profile of a usual top-5 pick at receiver, beggars can’t be choosers. (Mike Renner)

    Arvell Reese EDGE, OHIOST

    OVR RK: 3 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 243

    The Giants just became the scariest edge-rushing group in the NFL and truthfully it’s not even close. Their third down packages are going to be a true sprint to the quarterback. Reese has special play strength for someone with 4.46 speed. And he’s only scratching the surface at 20-years old. (Mike Renner)

    Mansoor Delane CB, LSU

    OVR RK: 14 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 187

    Delane is the safest pick at corner in this draft class. If you can do what he did in the SEC last season, you can produce in the NFL. It’s more the desperation of having to give up a 3rd-rounder to do so that bumps this down. It’s a position that historically teams have been able to find later in the draft as the Chiefs themselves know well. (Mike Renner)

    Sonny Styles LB, OHIOST

    OVR RK: 9 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 243

    One of the least athletic front-sevens in the NFL a season ago completes their make over with one of the most athletic linebackers in draft history. His ability to cover ground in coverage at his size is nothing short of special. He’ll allow Dan Quinn so much flexibility on the defensive side of the ball. (Mike Renner)

    Jordyn Tyson WR, ARIZST

    OVR RK: 23 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 203

    Tyson got the best tape grade from me of all the receivers. His size, movement skills, and body control are that of a number one receiver. And he’s the one receiver in the draft class that was truly treated as such by his offense as Arizona State went his way in every big situation. I can’t give it an A, though, because of his injury history as he missed time in all four of his collegiate seasons. (Mike Renner)

    Spencer Fano OT, UTAH

    OVR RK: 5 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 311

    Fano is the cleanest offensive lineman in the draft class. He pairs high-end athleticism with technical prowess and strong hands. He’s an elite zone blocker who has the size to play anywhere along the offensive line if needed. His arm length may scare some off, but it was never a massive issue for him on tape. (Mike Renner)

    Francis Mauigoa OT, MIAMI

    OVR RK: 16 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 329

    The Giants lock in the missing piece to their starting five with Mauigoa. He’ll kick inside to right guard for now where he’ll be a butt-kicker in the run game. His ability to move people off the line of scrimmage is special for a player who hasn’t even turned 21 yet. Jaxson Dart is somewhere celebrating. (Mike Renner)

    Caleb Downs S, OHIOST

    OVR RK: 8 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 205

    The much maligned Cowboys secondary got a much needed infusion of both talent and leadership. Downs is true do-it-all safety with no true holes in his game. Downs will be able to do anything new defensive coordinator Christian Parker asks him to do on the back end. (Mike Renner)

    Kadyn Proctor OT, BAMA

    OVR RK: 4 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 352

    Proctor has most prodigious power in this tackle class with special movement skills for a 350+ pounder. His weight will be worth monitoring, but when he was at his trimmest, Proctor was dominant at the end of the season. He can start inside at guard or stick at tackle. (Mike Renner)

    Ty Simpson QB, BAMA

    OVR RK: 11 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 211

    Simpson showed high-end ability last season before injuries started piling up. He understands how to attack tight windows and play with the anticipation necessary to translate to the NFL. I also think he gets underrated physically as he’s got very light feet in the pocket and an NFL caliber arm. The Rams don’t plan on picking this high until Matthew Stafford retires, and now they have their transition plan. (Mike Renner)

    Olaivavega Ioane IOL, PSU

    OVR RK: 15 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 323

    The mock drafts finally nailed one. Ioane is an incredibly clean guard prospect. I’ve described his tape as “boring” repeatedly which is exactly what you want form a guard. He ends pass pro reps before they start with his quick sets and strong anchor. He’s exactly what the Ravens were missing up front. (Mike Renner)

    Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE, MIAMI

    OVR RK: 2 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 263

    Bain was the most dominant force in college football last season. He’s can set a hard edge in the run game and collapse pockets with ease. What I love most about his game is that he almost never came off the field for the runner up Hurricanes last year. He fills what was easily the biggest need on the Bucs. (Mike Renner)

    Kenyon Sadiq TE, OREG

    OVR RK: 24 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 241

    The Jets add one of the most explosive tight ends in NFL history to a budding offense. I’m guessing we’ll see a lot of 12 personnel (1-back, 2-tight ends) in New York this season after they took Mason Taylor in the 2nd-round last year. That’s Sadiq’s ideal role, though, as a movable TE2 who can block in space and run past linebackers. He’s still raw as a route-runner, but athletes like him don’t come around every year. (Mike Renner)

    17

    Blake Miller OT, CLEM

    OVR RK: 29 • POS RK: 6 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 317

    Miller is an explosive and experienced offensive tackle who will fit in perfectly with the culture they’ve built in Detroit. This likely confirms Penei Sewell to the left side as Miller was a four-year starter at right tackle. Why I went lower with the grade here is because it felt like the Lions prioritized readiness given their tackle need over best player available. (Mike Renner)

    18

    Caleb Banks DL, FLA

    OVR RK: 92 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 327

    Banks is the most prodigious physical talent in this defensive tackle class. At 6-foot-6, 327 pounds with an over 7-foot wingspan, when he fires off low into contact he’s nearly impossible to block. The worry is that we never saw it consistently before his 2025 season was cut short with a foot injury that required surgery. He then had another foot surgery after an injury suffered during the combine week. That’s a big swing for Vikings to take at 18. (Mike Renner)

    Monroe Freeling OT, UGA

    OVR RK: 25 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-7 • WT: 315

    Freeling is a wild card in this offensive tackle class. That’s because he really only started looking like a first-round tackle for the final few games of 2025. He’s got prototypical left tackle size and athleticism, though, to develop and he goes to a spot where they don’t need him to start right away after the Rasheed Walker signing. (Mike Renner)

    Makai Lemon WR, USC

    OVR RK: 17 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 5-11 • WT: 192

    With AJ Brown’s impending departure, the Eagles get an NFL ready receiver who plays with a similar physicality – even if he doesn’t have Brown’s size. Lemon has very few weaknesses outside of his size and should be able to step into a slot role and be productive from Day 1. (Mike Renner)

    Max Iheanachor OT, ARIZST

    OVR RK: 31 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 321

    This is definitely not a win now move, but I like it. Iheanachor has the most intriguing developmental tools in the draft class with truly everything you could want to play the tackle position in the NFL. And the kicker: he only started playing football five years ago. For the Steelers, they won’t need necessarily need him to start year one with Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu already set at tackle. (Mike Renner)

    Akheem Mesidor EDGE, MIAMI

    OVR RK: 30 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 259

    Mesidor’s tape this past fall was top-10 pick worthy. He was truly dominant vs. both run and pass. The problem is he doesn’t quite have top-10 tools and at 25-years old is one of the oldest position players after drafted in the first round. The Chargers need the help ASAP, though, and Mesidor will bring that. (Mike Renner)

    Malachi Lawrence LB, UCF

    OVR RK: 52 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 253

    Lawrence has the highest-end tools in this edge-class after the players that went top-5. HIs explosiveness is all over his tape. He’s undoubtedly a project, though, who flashed more on reps than he did for long stretches of time. What worries me about this pick was his lack of awareness in the run game which was already an issue for the Cowboys edges last year. (Mike Renner)

    KC Concepcion WR, TXAM

    OVR RK: 12 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 196

    Concepcion was the best separator in the entire draft class. He can win with speed, wiggle, and physicality at times. He can play on both the outside or slot for the Browns and has even taken 68 handoffs in his career. The only issue is a 9.3% career drop rate. If his hands improve, the Browns got a steal. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 47 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 201

    Thieneman is exactly the kind of player the Bears were looking for this offseason: a deep safety with range. Thieneman had eight picks and 11 pass-breakups in his college career to go along with 4.35 speed. He’ll be a day one starter for Chicago. (Mike Renner)

    Keylan Rutledge IOL, GATECH

    OVR RK: 36 • POS RK: 2 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 316

    Rutledge fits exactly what the Texans offense morphed into down the stretch last season. He’s a hard-nosed guard who you’ll never have to worry about playing through the whistle. He’s a people mover at the point of attack and physical in pass protection. The Texans get a building-block piece to protect C.J. Stroud. (Mike Renner)

    Chris Johnson CB, SDGST

    OVR RK: 27 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 195

    The Dolphins just got another cornerstone piece at pick 27. Johnson’s tape was incredibly clean last fall as he dominated the Mountain West. The cherry on top was his Senior Bowl performance where, in my opinion, he was the most impressive cornerback in attendance. Miami agreed. While Johnson doesn’t “wow” physically, he impresses in his reliability and technical prowess. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 13 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 308

    To get a tackle with Lomu’s tape in pass protection at 28 overall is nothing short of a steal. He falls here because he needs to get stronger, more consistent, and to play more with an edge, but he goes to a great spot to develop him in all three of those areas. He has special feet and hand usage on tape to be their future starting tackle. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 19 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 298

    With Chris Jones turning 32 this offseason, the Chiefs nab his successor in Peter Woods. He’s a quintessential 3-technique with an incredible blend of explosiveness and play strength. He falls to this point in the draft because of lackluster tape this past fall compared to 2024, but now he gets to learn from the best in the business on how to rush the passer. (Mike Renner)

    Omar Cooper Jr. WR, IND

    OVR RK: 21 • POS RK: 4 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 199

    What a special receiving corps the Jets are building. Cooper is the exact skillset they were missing in that unit. A rugged receiver who can consistently make tough catches over the middle of the field and create after the catch. To get both him and Kenyon Sadiq in this draft will make Geno Smith’s job a lot easier this fall. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 46 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-6 • WT: 276

    The Titans complete the overhaul of their non-existent edge-room from a season ago with one of the draft’s best run defenders. Faulk has the length to be a hard edge-setter across from Jermaine Johnson in the Titans defense. He also has the body type that can kick inside to rush the passer as well. He’ll need some development as a true rusher, but he offers intriguing tools in that regard. (Mike Renner)

    Jadarian Price RB, ND

    Price is not only the best back available, he’s the only one if you want a true starter based on my evaluations of this class. For that reason it felt like a necessity for the Super Bowl champs who lost Kenneth Walker this offseason. Price has tremendous vision and runs decisively. His learning curve will be minimal when translating to the league. (Mike Renner)

    De’Zhaun Stribling WR, MISS

    OVR RK: 120 • POS RK: 19 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 207

    The 49ers tab Stribling as their Jauan Jennings replacement. He’s one of the better blockers in the class and will do the dirty work in the offense. Stribling will add more of a vertical element than Jennings did as well. The Ole Miss receiver just isn’t near the route-runner than Jennings was in the offense. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 39 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

    After taking Jeremiyah Love in round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 75 • POS RK: 11 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 263

    The Bills were in desperate need of pass-rushing help and add just that at the top of round-2. Parker is a physical edge-rusher who’s been a plus run defender and pocket-collapser since Day 1 at Clemson. He would have gone much higher than this after his sophomore year, but his lackluster 2025 tape drops him to Round 1. (Mike Renner)

    If there was any weakness on this Texans defense, well, it just got fixed. McDonald is nothing short of an elite run-defending nose tackle prospect. His ability to envelope double teams and make plays in the run game will allow DeMeco Ryans to dedicate more resources to the back end in coverage – a scary thought. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 59 • POS RK: 9 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 195

    New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson gets himself one of the better press-corners in the class. Hood is physical at the line of scrimmage and has top end speed to make up ground deep. While he can get a little overly aggressive, he’s still one of the younger corners in the class only just turning 21 with room for development. (Mike Renner)

    Stukes was college football’s top slot corner in coverage last season. He has the length and athleticism to play man as well as the quick processing for zone. He could end up at either slot, outside corner, or safety for Las Vegas – that’s how versatile he is. A tremendous influx of talent for a secondary in need. (Mike Renner)

    Denzel Boston WR, WASH

    OVR RK: 45 • POS RK: 8 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 210

    The Browns double up at receiver a year after doubling up at running back. It’s an indictment of their current room, for sure, but also indicative of the loaded receiver class. Boston is a distinctly different type of receiver from KC Concepcion as he’s more of a possession receiver with a big wingspan and catch radius. He also has some of the best hands in the entire class. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 37 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-2 • WT: 241

    Thomas represents a distinct departure from the bigger bodied edges that Steve Spagnuolo has coveted in the past and I like it. He’s a speed rusher who already has one of the more refined toolboxes in this class. He may not be much of a run defender, but the Chiefs won’t have to use him on run downs to get their money’s worth. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 33 • POS RK: 5 • HT: 6-3 • WT: 253

    If you can do what Howell did this past season to SEC tackles, you can rush the passer in the NFL. Short arms be damned. He’s a twitchy mover who sets up tackles with his pacing extremely well. He goes to the perfect spot in a Cincinnati team that needs edge-rushing help and can also afford to let him be a specialist. (Mike Renner)

    Miller is one of the safer run defenders in the class. He has prototypical 3-4 defensive end traits although he could probably even kick into nose if you really wanted him too. He may never be an elite pass-rusher, but he can at least walk back guards occasionally. (Mike Renner)

    The Dolphins continue their strategy of drafting high-floor football players. Rodriguez was the best linebacker in all of college football last season.

    Young is somewhat reminiscent of former Missouri defensive end Darius Robinson in that he’s a bit of a tweener. He’s a jumbo defensive end, but his athletic testing numbers are closer to that of a defensive tackle. The problem is we never really saw him play on the interior in college. He’ll at minimum be a hard edge-setter who can spell Trey Hendrickson on early downs. (Mike Renner)

    If the Steelers wanted to come away with a tackle and receiver in this class, they did about as good as they could have expected given their draft capital. Bernard is a nuanced route-runenr who can create on his own after the catch. While he lacks the juice to be a true downfield weapon, he can get open at the intermediate level consistently. (Mike Renner)

    The Terrell brothers are reunited once again. I say again, but being six years apart they’ve likely never played on the same team until now. Avieon is the shorter, scrappier version of his brother AJ. He has the same smooth coverage skills with a little more of an edge that comes from being the younger brother. (Mike Renner)

It’s an indication that they’re going to be a little more creative in personnel deployment than years past as Stowers is a movable chess piece TE2. The biggest worry with the pick is that he’s a really poor blocker still and is very much a tweener at 239 pounds. (Mike Renner)

The Texans not only have a ton of recently drafted tight ends on their roster, but they also have Dalton Schultz and the recently signed Foster Moreau.

    Klare is the most natural receiver at tight end in the draft class. He’s a smooth route-runner who makes it look easy catching outside his frame. While I know the Rams are majoring in 3-tight ends sets right now, I’m not sure what skillset Klare offers that’s not on the roster and that’s keeping this from an A-grade. (Mike Renner)

    OVR RK: 202 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 225

    This feels like a relative slap in the face to Cardinals fans. Your offseason investment at the most valuable position is a 24-year old with limited tools after you’ve taken a running back and a guard. Is this guy really going toe-to-toe with Matt Stafford or Sam Darnold in that division? It feels like when the Texans drafted Davis Mills 67th in 2021. I’d rather they passed on quarterback entirely and prayed for a better crop of quarterbacks in 2027. (Mike Renner)

    Onyedim is an explosive, long, and physical defensive tackle. While’s he’s not a pure one-to-one replacement for Jonathan Franklin-Myers, he can fill a similar role in a defense.

I actually believe that even at 6-foot-7, Barber’s best position in the NFL may come at guard.

    Jeremiyah Love RB, ND

    OVR RK: 7 • POS RK: 1 • HT: 6-0 • WT: 214

    Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn’t an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They’ll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length. (Mike Renner)

    Chase Bisontis IOL, TXAM

    OVR RK: 39 • POS RK: 3 • HT: 6-5 • WT: 315

    After taking Jeremiyah Love in round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option. (Mike Renner)

    Carson Beck QB, MIAMI

    OVR RK: 202 • POS RK: 7 • HT: 6-4 • WT: 225

    This feels like a relative slap in the face to Cardinals fans. Your offseason investment at the most valuable position is a 24-year old with limited tools after you’ve taken a running back and a guard. Is this guy really going toe-to-toe with Matt Stafford or Sam Darnold in that division? It feels like when the Texans drafted Davis Mills 67th in 2021. I’d rather they passed on quarterback entirely and prayed for a better crop of quarterbacks in 2027. (Mike Renner)

  • Ducks blast Oilers 7-4 in Game 3 in Anaheim’s first home playoff game in 8 years

    ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Beckett Sennecke and Leo Carlsson scored 42 seconds apart in the third period, Mikael Granlund had a goal and two assists, and the Anaheim Ducks celebrated their first home playoff game in eight years with a 7-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers and a 2-1 series lead on Friday night.

    Jeffrey Viel and Jackson LaCombe also scored in the third and Lukas Dostal made 20 saves for the upstart Ducks, who have poured in 16 goals in three games to take an early lead in this first-round series against the two-time Western Conference champion Oilers. Mason McTavish and Alex Killorn scored early goals to the soundtrack of a raucous sellout crowd hungry for Orange County’s first postseason hockey since 2018.

    “It sounded like an army out there almost,” Sennecke said. “They’ve been waiting eight years for this, nine years for a win, so it was pretty special.”

    Just as they’ve done so many times over their first season under coach Joel Quenneville, the Ducks overcame their clear defensive shortcomings by simply outscoring the powerhouse Oilers, thriving even after Connor McDavid recorded his first points of the series.

    “I thought we had a great start to the game (and) did a lot of good things most of the night,” Quenneville said. “It was nice to see the crowd get rewarded with a win. Been a long time coming.”

    Game 4 is Sunday night in Anaheim.

    McDavid had a power-play goal in the third period and an assist, although the NHL scoring champion still doesn’t appear to be at full health. Vasily Podkolzin, Kasperi Kapanen and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored, and Connor Ingram stopped 32 shots.

    “You look at the goals against, and just some stuff that shouldn’t happen, especially at this time of year,” Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said. “There was lost coverage in front of the net. Couple of times we were careless with the puck. Early on, they were much more intense. They definitely looked like they wanted it more in the first period. We were able to find our legs. We started skating later in the game.”

    Appropriately for a defense-deficient series, the Ducks capitalized on two transition sequences early in the third to take control.

    Moments after Sennecke ripped a wrist shot for the tiebreaking goal and the precocious rookie’s first playoff point, Carlsson clinically finished a textbook 2-on-1 rush with Troy Terry.

    McDavid trimmed the Oilers’ deficit with a fortunate deflection off Pavel Mintyukov’s stick, but the superstar short-circuited another power play later in the third by cross-checking Tyson Hinds.

    Viel then flipped home a backhand with 3:03 left to cap a strong game by the Ducks’ fourth line, and LaCombe lofted an empty-net goal all the way from the Ducks’ goal line to seal Anaheim’s first home playoff victory since May 14, 2017, in the conference finals against Nashville.

    “We couldn’t even hear ourselves out there,” Viel said. “Definitely got us going right from the start.”

    The clubs split the series’ first two games in Edmonton, but the Ducks demonstrated they could stay with the playoff-tested Oilers despite the obvious deficiencies of an inexperienced group that allowed more goals this season than any other playoff team.

    Anaheim rode the wave of crowd energy and dominated play early in Game 3, putting 20 shots on Ingram in the first period. The Oilers surged to a 3-2 lead early in the second, but Killorn tied it with his 39th career playoff goal.

    Oilers forwards Adam Henrique and Jason Dickinson missed Game 3 with injuries.

    LOSS
    This series has been as fun as I thought it would be. Old-school, late 1980s speed hockey. Under 6.5 is a no-no. But on the off-chance the goalies have a decent Friday. Yeah, I have to play a half on U7. At least we push and not lose at 3-3 regulation. Prepared to lose but maybe it’s 3-2 late and whomever leading gets the empty netter. Or the trailing team does and we push. I don’t know that I will have a side play.
