Speaking on “The Pick Is In” podcast, Zierlein said he’s heard the Cowboys aren’t in love with Bosa, and have differentiating opinions on the Buckeyes star within the organization, even after the team held a private workout with Bosa and other OSU prospects Friday. MORE: NFL Mock Draft | NFL’s scariest QB graveyard Bosa, a consensus All-American each of the past two seasons, turned in one of the top broad jumps at the NFL Combine, with a 120-inch broad jump....

The Super Bowl champion Patriots’ selection of Michigan pass rusher Chase Winovich was one of the best of the second day. The Chargers and Packers also can be happy with their work, but it is open for debate whether the Broncos did the right thing in trading up for a quarterback. Here we look at some of the best and worst picks from Friday’s Day 2. THE BEST Los Angeles Chargers – S Nasir Adderley, Delaware...

Who the Cardinals will select first overall is a mystery, though the smart money continues to be on them selecting a quarterback for the second year running. Kyler Murray remains the favorite to hear his name called first in a class in which the deeper talent is actually on the defensive side of the ball. Here we look at where Murray stands among this year’s crop of quarterbacks, and rank the top five players at each position....

The Cincinnati Bengals selected LSU quarterback Joe Burrow as the first overall pick, while the Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions picked Ohio State duo Chase Young and Jeffrey Okudah, despite rumors both teams may trade their picks. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was the fifth player off the board, dismissing claims he may fall out of the top-10 altogether and the Green Bay Packers pulled off a surprising move by trading up to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love....

“He’s got a little bit of everything,” NFL Network draft analyst Charles Davis said last week on a conference call. “When you get a chance to see him, size isn’t going to knock you off your feet by any stretch. But he’s a guy that runs inside well, good vision, nice strength in running the ball inside. You don’t see him get knocked backwards. A lot of times he finishes the run going forward....

The Patriots hold the final pick in Round 1 and every round thereafter in April following their 13-3 victory over the Rams, who pick 31st. The Raiders have the three picks in the first round this year — the most of any team. They pick fourth, 24th and 27th overall after trading Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper to Chicago and Dallas, respectively. The Packers also have multiple first-round picks (12th, 30th) as part of their 2018 draft day trade with the Saints....

The L.A. Coliseum and Rose Bowl — homes to UCLA and USC, respectively — were among the facilities contacted, although the league didn’t identify any other sites beyond those two, which have in the past hosted NFL games. League executives also have touted the viability of Dodger Stadium as a potential temporary pro football venue.

Since Super Bowl 56 will take place in Inglewood, Cali., at SoFi Stadium, the logo shows palm trees in the “LVI” letters. However, the designer decided to make the palm trees red, which make the trees look like blood from a distance. And not just any kind of blood — dripping blood. MORE: When is Super Bowl 2022? Once you see the blood dripping down the logo, it’s difficult to unsee it....

It might be the best pass he has all year. The most head-scratching move of 2018 NFL free agency involves a quarterback who Ravens safety Eric Weddle on Twitter proclaimed “has been paid more for nothing than anyone in (the) history of (the) NFL.” It’s one thing for a media member to level such scathing criticism. It’s far more damning when a player gets publicly eviscerated by one of his own, especially a peer as accomplished and well-regarded as Weddle....

While there’s no Tom Brady to be had this offseason, the total bloodletting of NFL veterans due to NFL’s diminished cap space could land some impact players elsewhere this offseason. So far, we’ve seen Mitchell Schwartz, Eric Fisher, Janoris Jenkins, Kenny Vaccaro, Malcolm Butler and Emmanuel Sanders all hit the market, with more releases expected as teams work out their cap situations heading into Wednesday.

The market for veteran players has gone quiet of late with more notable releases than movement toward unsigned, unrestricted free agents. There are, however, a few big names still available in free agency and some valuable role players who can fill some lingering roster holes. IYER: Where will Cam Newton land in free agency? The most prominent free agents left are two players who were drafted No. 1 overall not so long ago, quarterback Cam Newton (2011) and edge rusher Jadeven Clowney (2014)....

The league has even announced an “international series” of games in 2022, with three games being played in the U.K., one in Mexico and another in Germany. But, as NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent sees it, the future of American football on the international stage isn’t in the NFL. It’s in the Olympic Games, played in the form of flag football. Vincent, speaking to the Associated Press, said the NFL’s “ultimate goal” was to make flag football an Olympic sport, potentially as soon as the 2028 Los Angeles Games....

The second-year quarterback will be hoping for a repeat of his exploits from last season when the Browns take on the Jets in New Jersey Monday night. Cleveland imploded spectacularly under the weight of expectations in Week 1, suffering a 43-13 shellacking on home turf against Tennessee. The Titans arrived in Ohio intent on puncturing the bubble of expectations that had surrounded the Browns throughout the offseason, and followed through on those plans....

That’s because one man, Hub Arkush, who is one of the 50 voters of the Associated Press’ yearly NFL awards and an editor of Pro Football Weekly has decided he will not give his nod for MVP to the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback. Arkush’s reasoning for his decision? He said to honor the “biggest jerk in the league” would be a bad and wrong move. In speaking to a Chicago radio station, Arkush said Rodgers has “punished” the NFL, the Green Bay Packers organization and the team’s fan base this season with his off-the-field actions....
